Happy birthday to....

[Unknown site tag] OT, but I have a question; is it snotty of me to think, when I hear of seven year olds reading all the HP books, that few of them are likely to actually really get them? I mean, I just can't see myself letting a seven year old read OoTP. Ten, yes - they are kids books, like it or not - but seven? Then again, maybe its that they wouldn't quite see how some of the really disturbing things (the Dementor's Kiss, Harry's almost hexing Bellatrix) were so.

But still... I just think seven is way too young, and I feel a bit snotty for thinking they might not even understand, when really, what does it matter?

Hmmm...being fairly young myself, I can't really think. But I do know that I read the books like this:

PS - Seven
CS - Seven
PA - Eight
GoF - Nine
OotP - Twelve.

But I can't really remember my first impressions, because I've reread them so often.
