The Harry Potter books are KIND OF children’s books, but the truth is that it is the perfect series because it matures as you do, particularly with how it treats death.
There is no death in books 1-3, except as a background discussion, but each book bring us closer and closer to it, to the point that book 3 is filled with death omens.
Book 4 opens and closes with a death, but it’s the death of someone we don’t know very well.
Book 5 shows us to the death of a loved one, book 6 involves the death of someone we believed invincible, and book 7 brings us the death of the protagonist himself. No series has ever nailed it like that.

I struck up a conversation with an elderly woman on an airplane in 2000. She asked if I’d read Harry Potter yet and I replied that I didn’t read children’s books. She lectured me about how it’s for adults too.
