The world building is weak because Rowling is a bad fantasy writer, not because it was written for grade schoolers. There are tons of series aimed at grade schoolers with incredible world building - Redwall, Warrior Cats, Earthsea, just to name a few, all have way better world building than Harry Potter.

    Earthsea has some of the best world building of all time, but I'm not sure I'd say it was written for grade schoolers.

    I feel like Earthsea is appropriate for middle-school-aged kids (so like 11-14ish), right? Maybe our definitions of "grade schoolers" is different, but I was trying to give examples for a wide range of ages
