You start off with some heavy things right at the beginning, but Harry gets to go to school and be closer to his parents history.
Really too bad about the author. As an adult, I won't be supporting the franchise/author.

With the change of scenery, I was worried that I would lose the (literal) magic of the world but I think Rowling still managed to create the essence of her universe without the key locations we came to know (again, I don't know if this is due to the imagery that I already had in my head). I enjoy the darker tones that come in the later books too and it felt like the books grew with the audience that read it. Most of my boredom honestly came from Hermione as a character and the pacing in some areas that typical to Rowling's writings. There are long gaps where small tidbits happen in walls of filler content.
Moderate: Bullying
Minor: Child death, Death, and Cursing
