Not in favor of bannng anything, but as the series went on, the Harry Potter books became progressively less children-oriented.


Children oriented? Sure. That was the point. The series was intended to grow up/age with the target audience. I just looked it up, and Harry was 17 years old by the climax of the series. With that said, the vast majority of literature school aged children are encouraged/required to read isn't children-oriented.

And that was my point.

You might let your 8 year old read the first one, but you’d certainly want to pace him/her over the series. There’s no way you’d want to let him/her read all 7 books in a short span of time. They all got progressively longer, darker in theme and more complicated. If nothing else, your typical 8 year old would probably lose interest after the third book, if he got that far.
