Potioncat:
And that is what has happened.  My oldest started reading it at 10 
(I think) and now he's 15. He's right up there with Harry. He 
certainly wouldn't be interested any more if Harry was still 11. 
When I decided to re-read the series after OoP, I was very surprised 
at how different SS was written compared to OoP. Even the style 
grows up.

I'm in no hurry for the series to end.  It'll stop no doubt as "my 
Harry" goes off to college.

Potioncat ( who just realized this probably has nothing to do with 
the intent of your post, although my teenagers do sometimes conspire 
against me...)
