[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My precocious kid read them soon after he turned six. He recognized that they are fiction and wasn't scared at all. At least didn't appear to be and claimed he wasn't. Despite that I remember a Harry Potter themed nightmare.[/quote]

He wasn't scared because he couldn't process what he was reading.  [/quote]

Oh, do you know my child?  Obviously you don't. Because one conversation with him and you'd take that back.

He LOVED those books and wasn't reading them "because it was cool" as PP said - he knew absolutely nothing about them until he started on the first one and then got hooked and was utterly obsessed as he sped through each book in the series in short order.. And he still hasn't seen any of the movies (he's now eight). A couple of times much older kids quizzed him about them in great detail because they didn't believe he'd read them and soon changed their minds.

But this is a very secure kid who has understood the difference between fiction and reality since he was very young and never been upset by stories. He's a lot more upset about Trump. (Yes, now he reads the newspaper and yes, he does understand that too). Other kids who take fiction more literally may be scared at his age.[/quote]
