I gotcha!I originally read the Harry Potter books after I graduated college. The first three were a real slog, both because the target audience was children and JK's writing was definitely rough in the beginning. By the 4th book, both the content and execution improved so drastically I really enjoyed them. Before that I was having a hard time understanding the hype.

It's possibly my nostalgia for the delights of my childhood peeking through, but I love the early ones as much as the later ones. I am Harry Potter-maxxing, as the kids might say
