I'm with you. But the thing of it is that Harry Potter's admittedly not very edgy. And I fucking love the books. Still, while definitely not light and soft, the whole moral is that love saves everything. The epilogue is a sweet ending. Nothing wrong with that at all, but if you're more into Les Mis-esque endings where half the cast was killed or died of some horrible disease, then the books are going to seem a little... saccharine.

Although I would argue that there are adult books like that too. Not necessarily on the fantasy level, but for instance, a few years ago I read a novel that was supposed to basically be a family saga. I was expecting a really in-depth look at a family and a town through the ages. There was barely any conflict. And when there was conflict, it was solved after half a page. It made Harry Potter look like Game of Thrones meets The Walking Dead. There was one genuinely crushing part, but that was it. And that's fine too, it works for some people, my point is that it was very PG-rated, very Disney levels of angst, and yet it was marketed at adults. Meanwhile, there are some pretty grim books for kids and young adults. Like The Hunger Games.
