"It has also contained come of the very best, most accessible writing for children, by writers who seldom get the acknowledgement they deserve."

Isn't this where the distinction really lies?

I haven't read any of the Harry Potter books (saw the movies), but most fantasy from my adolescent years seemed aimed at a teen/young adult audiences. I recall that the Harry Potter books first made news because it revitalized younger children's interest in reading novels, and large ones at that.
