Does Harry Potter reinforce the narcissistic obsession with youth?

Or does it promote the maturation of young adults into responsible members of a community?

It may avoid some of the excesses of adultlescent culture, but does it still advocate a disordered individualism (which may be subtly present in the form of pride, even if the protagonists are "friends" and working with each other to defeat evil)?
