The Harry Potter books and movies have violence in them for a reason. As long as they can understand fantasy from reality. You should be ok with introducing them to Harry Potter.

About two years before I even got pregnant my mum called rights to reading my children HP. So I guess I'll just sit and enjoy her reading. <br /><br />It must be so lovely to watch Ben grow into a reader. I love watching Alyce get more and more hooked on books. She sleeps with about ten in her bed every night.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16432840953994166762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998521225863214184.post-4964540881235541832010-11-23T16:23:07.315-05:002010-11-23T16:23:07.315-05:00It's funny you ask -- I was just thinking of s...It's funny you ask -- I was just thinking of starting to read them to Ben, and he's now 6. We're just starting 'chapter books' and we began with a Roald Dahl and have moved to Enid Blyton... I've promised him book number 3 will be the first Harry Potter. I don't think he was ready for it until now, but I suspect that has less to do with his age and more rather just that now it 'feels' right. <br /><br />He is a very strong reader and I love that he's old enough to properly listen now, if you know what I mean. He asks me what words mean that he doesn't know, and we stop the dialogue every once in a while to talk about what's happening.<br /><br />Dream. Come. True. For real.<br />xMammy Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07999420446242213319noreply@blogger.com
