I'm so frustrated with and disappointed in Lego about this. Maybe it's always been this way - that they've always had sets that were released for a period of time before being phased out for newer, different sets. But with all their branded/licensed sets of late, it puts parents in a terrible bind when little Jenny really wants that Hogwarts set. You can't buy it new, it's considered a collector's item so buying it used will cost an arm and a leg... It'd be great if Lego considered this and produced an annual stream of some of these most preferred legacy sets (they could even differentiate them slightly from the original collector's items so that the collectors would retain value.)
