Add to that the completely arbitrary nature of the magical world, and the way EVERY SINGLE TEACHER seems to be actively trying to get their students killed
Frankly, this seems to be the basis of a lot of children's media. Watch the Disney Channel sometime, it's filled with adults that are clueless and children that will solve the problems through friendship, and talking back to the adults. Seriously, if I tried to say stuff like that to my parents when I was young, or even now for that matter, I would be very much in trouble.
Frankly those teachers shouldn't be too proud of themselves if the series of challenges they set in book 1 was defeated by three 11-year-olds.
That being said, I actually like the Harry Potter series. But I will admit that Harry Potter is the most unlikeable character...ok...maybe Ron... But seriously, how many teenagers would you want to hear about?
