The Potter books do have an oversimplified view of good and evil. Some characters are naturally good, and others naturally evil, and that's that. Introspection and internal division aren't central features of the book.

You haven't read them have you.

Saw the movies, and didn't see much complexity there. I could be wrong, but it looks like Harry was born good and Draco born bad. Maybe there's more sublety in the the later books (Harry has trouble living up to his mission), but plenty of critics agreed. Harold Bloom was pretty nasty -- probably too nasty, but other reviewers had a similar impression. I'm not saying it's horrible or bad for kids -- It's good that they're reading, and probably doesn't hurt them at all -- just that it's not the thing for adults.
