My daughter has started reading the Harry Potter books, and is on the 4th one. She has been watching the films after reading the books as well. We bought the DVD collection and I have noticed that the later films are rated 12. My wife think that the later books are also too scary and that she shouldn't read them.

Has anyone read them and can empathise from a 6yr old's point of view as to how scary they are? She did get a bit scared by the Prisoner of Azkaban and she thought Sirius Black had broken into our house.

Trying to encourage her to read something else but she is obsessed with them. Found her at 11:30PM after going to bed a 7 with her light on still reading the other night
