[quote=Anonymous]If my child wanted to read Harry Potter next year, she would be welcome to do that. I have read all the books and would be ready to discuss them with her as she read. If you're comparing them to, say, the Little House books, there are "scary" or "traumatic" things that happen in the Little House books too. I read those when I was maybe 6 (learned to read picture books at 4, moved on to simple chapter books at 5, never really cared for A Wrinkle In Time anyway) and I remember: - Mary going blind - Laura teaching school away from her family at age 15 in a house with people who were scary (though I now don't remember why they were scary?) - lots of weather related drama - Nellie Olsen, that horrible brat! - the dog dying It all seemed very abstract because as a child in the mid-80s, I was not experiencing those stressors. That said, I am also not a British wizard child, so I'm not experiencing those stressors either.[/quote]
