Harry Potter 5

Nunc's comment about Harry being "carefully groomed at Hogwarts for whatever's coming" made me think of Ender's Game. Though he's being trained, I don't get the idea that anyone is planning to use Harry as a tool. (Except perhaps Voldemort who has already tried.)

I'm more in agreement with Silverstripe. These are children's books, even if adults enjoy them. Rowling would lose her audience if the stories became too dark and I think many of her readers would feel a sense of betrayal.
