When we think of Harry Potter we typically think of magic, weird creatures, and Voldemort. However I think of those stories as something different. I think of them as the journey of adolescence. Not just Harry, but Ron, Hermione, Neville and Draco.
In The Sorcerer's Stone the characters are learning how to be in a new surrounding and how to deal with each other, despite their short-comings.
In the Chamber of Secrets it's a continuation of the themes of the first but it includes appreciation of your friends who aren't there when you need them.
In the Prisoner of Azkaban that movie is the beginning of the interest in the opposite sex and also learning the truth about the people before you hurt them.
In the Goblet of Fire it's about finding out that celebrity's won't always be famous and people will turn on you. Also the movie is about secret feelings that start to be revealed and even the hero can't always get a date. Also sometimes you must go into a competition alone and even if it's friendly it can still become unfriendly.
In the Order of the Phoenix it is about taking charge of your life and other lives even at a young age and remembering that even your parents were once young as well. Also it is about the realization that the girl you like might not be as good as you wished.
In the Half-Blood Prince it is about the moment when you think a couple will get together and that person goes with someone else, yet their hear desires more. At that point everyone is standing around thinking "FINALLY."
In the Deathly Hallows it is about joining together at the worst moment and never letting go, despite, anger jealously, and fear.
All movies also include the fight between good and evil and how evil is impressionable to the young ones.
