My 13 yo daughter loves the Harry Potter books, though she can't even BRIBE her 11 yo brother to read them! She laughs when I read her the threads here about how horrible HP is for kids. Clearly she understands what this writer is saying; I'm convinced most kids who read HP do also!

Maybe your 11-year-old knows something you and our daughter don't.

Read the books for yourself and see if they're appropriate for kids.
