In fact, I don’t think that a fourteen year old fan reading Harry Potter could really analyze the themes of the book or debate the books’ strengths and weaknesses... It doesn’t seem like they have any reaction beyond OMIGOD Harry Potter is the best or OMIGOD Ron and Hermione forever... squee!!You obviously haven't read much of the stuff being written by teenagers about the books. Obviously, teenagers are not going to have the life experiences of 40 year olds, but you expectations are simply wrong.
Believe me I’ve read some of the stuff (and I’m related to a few teenagers) so I know exactly how they see the books... It kinda speaks ill of the country that a HS freshman cannot analyze a book’s themes.
