Off topic, at what age did your kids read the later Harry Potter books?
My DS8 started the series in September when he was still 7 and finished Goblet of Fire a few weeks after his 8th birthday in November. After that one, he was afraid to go to the bathroom by himself (which is something we have dealt with off and on). He brought home Order of the Phoenix, but we made him stop. I would prefer that he wait another year to start up again and not read the final two until he is closer to 10. He was not happy about the hiatus, but he is on to Percy Jackson right now and also Lemony Snicket so successfully sidetracked.
