I feel like this specific Harry Potter book is sad because it represents the fear of people who are different. This book is good for all ages. For younger children it is a magical tale of wizards and eventually friends and a new family. For older ages this book can teach about acceptance and understanding that there are people different than you and that it is nothing to be afraid of.
