I really think it depends on your DC. DD is pretty brave and not prone to nightmares. She read them at age 7 (LOVED them and has since reread them). I really would have preferred that she waited even longer to read them, but she was just so excited to read them...so DH read book 3 on through the end with her the 1st time (I was worried about her having nightmares - SHE was fine). She requested her own copies for her 8th birthday - something she rarely does with fiction (we usually get fiction from the library, since she is typically done with them so quickly).
