Shelia,
I have just finished the Harry Potter book and loved it. My daughter, in
second grade, had a hard time reading it alone so I told her to wait awhile
or that we could read it together. I have heard about some parents
complaining about the violence but I did not think it was outrageous. I
know of a lot of parents who love the series and would bitterly complain if
it was censored.
