This took something of a hit during the "Three-Year Summer" after the fourth book; the audience grew quite a bit older than Harry, and so the reception began to decline.

For instance, when ''DegrassiTheNextGeneration'' aired, a lot of old-school Degrassi fans wished the show had stuck to the old characters (who were now adults), while the new ''Degrassi'' fans were annoyed that adult characters had their own storylines in a TeenDrama. Later, when the Next Generation cast got too old to stay in HighSchool, the producers were stuck either following them to college and on (which didn't really fit the format) or switching to a new bunch of kids (who nobody cared about). The producers did ''both'' and satisfied nobody.
