Re: re: 115
And yeah, they're definitely not very universal. They were written by a Western author for a Western audience, both of whom are familiar with the classic hero-from-humble-beginnings-saves-the-world formula that might not be so common in the rest of the world. I'm amazed that the books got translated into as many languages as they did.
I too, grew out of the series rather quickly because Harry doesn't really seem to age or grow or change very much at all, and neither do his partners in crime. But something like Tamora Pierce's Circle of Magic series is one of those that has books for pre-teens, teens, and even older. Melting Stones and The Will of the Empress in particular have some very dark undertones, what with all the hints at what Briar, Rosethorn, and Evvy go through, as well as sexuality issues and the difficulties that are part of reuniting with friends long sundered.
I think a lot of Harry Potter fans are missing out on brilliant series like that because they think "oh, nothing will ever be as good as Harry Potter; I know this because 50 million other fans my age say so."
