I've also been collecting the Harry Potter illustrated books, and hope someday to read them with my daughter, but that day has not yet come. (Though we are reading Prydain right now!)
The prose doesn't change too much over the first trilogy; there's a definite change between the third and fourth. Which makes sense; I think there was a much larger gap in publication time there. I think there may be a smaller prose change between the fourth and fifth-sixth, but I didn't look at that in depth. Maybe another Yuletide I will :)
