You're not the first to ask that question, in Stephen King's glowing 
review of Order Of The Phoenix he says this: 

"The distinction between "children's literature" and plain 
old "literature" has ceased to exist. The latest Potter adventure 
could be The Cather in the Rye, minus the dirty words and the 
drinking...or maybe just the dirty words: Just what the hell is 
butterbeer, anyway?"
