As a teenager, neither my or my friends' main issue is that Voldemort's trying to kill me, you know? I think there are better books to convey real children's and teenager's issues and concerns.

You're thinking too literally. HP features peer pressure, bullying, loyalty, friendship, courage, racism, faith and so much more.

The whole point is that it's SUMMER reading, for while they're on holiday.

No - although last year DH was a top summer read for MPs. Maybe you're confusing that with this.
