You're right about that feeling of a cliff, of the rest of them getting darker. And I mean, you have to have read them all to really notice it, but the first three, the trouble the trio get into is their own. They did things that put them where they were. From there on out the trouble is something external done to them. That's a huge difference. Someone intentionally trying to hurt them rather than them just making choices that put them in dangerous situations. I mean, someone wanted to hurt Harry in both SS and CoS, but the high danger points of the books were not caused by someone else, but rather by the trio thinking they could fix it.
