[quote=Anonymous]Harry Potter at this age is fine but it all depends on your child. I started the first HP book with my DS when he was in 1st grade and he loved it. He was an advanced reader for his age and I don't think he had a hard time following the story (we discussed it a lot while we were reading so I knew he was following along). It took us about 2.5 years to get through the whole series so we didn't get to the darker storylines until he was a little older. He's also not easily scared of books or movies, which also makes a difference. We read each book and then watched the corresponding movie once we finished, and we both agreed the books were better! However, my DD who is in first grade now probably wouldn't follow it. She's an average reader so the style of prose and detailed plot would probably be too complex for her. She doesn't scare easily, so that's not a concern (and she's seen parts of the first two movies already) but we'll wait a bit anyway.[/quote]
