DS read the first three at 5/6, and then we stopped him going on to Order of the Phoenix "until you're 7". He brought it out on his 7th birthday, and we didn't have the heart to hold him back any more... Although when he was younger he was very easily upset by books, he seemed by then to have developed appropriate defences, and was far less upset by them than I remember being. He hasn't seen any of the movies, and doesn't want to (is not actually keen on movies at all).
