The characters are supposed to grow along with the audience in the Harry Potter to my knowledge.

Nothing says healthy life for a 11 year old like living with your abusive aunt and uncle and having to fight the dark wizard that killed your parents.

That's when the books were released every other year, now that all the books are out you can probably read them in a few weeks.

I definitely grew up along the characters though :)
