This may be because, I think, they achieve that over the course of the three books. Since I can't remember what's in what book, I won't make any specific observations other than I enjoyed them as a whole and found them ultimately satisfying. It also brings up the debate about young adult novels (which I think was mentioned, but not discussed at length other than at Slate, in reference to the latest HP book)--should this book satisfy me as a thirty-something, or should it satisfy a teen-something? I liked it as a thirty-something, but I think my teen self would have been absolutely enthralled by it.
