I'm not exactly sure what you meant by the last sentence, but it seems to me
that Harry Potter books were meant for readers of all ages, which, for me,
has a lot to do with their power and success.

I do know that I wish the Harry Potter books had been published when I was a
child. I know I could have greatly benefited from reading about Harry and
his successes. I think I would have grown up a lot stronger and happier!
