Some parents also let their children watch Grey’s Anatomy, Friends, etc.... Frankly, it isn’t the book, movie, or T.V. show’s fault that parents allow their children to watch it. Parents should do a much better job policing their children’s books, T.V. shows, and movies. (My mom would have most definitely said no to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if I was seven or at least read it before I did and then said “no”). Rowlings and other artists should be allowed to create as they please; it isn’t their faults that some parents are idiots.

Beyond the fact that I think Rowling understands that, that was not my point.

I'm pretty sure she did.

My point was, and continues to be, that Rowling knows her fan base. I don't think a healthy understanding of that harmed the books in any way.

My 8 year old is halfway through Deathly Hallows.

She’s handling it fine, just like she handled Goblet of fire when she was in first grade.

Go ahead and call me names, but she’s been reading real books since she was four, and was reading Magic School bus books before she entered kindergarten. I think whether she can handle it is MY decision, not a stranger’s.
