This is a good point. I'm only reading it to my almost 12-year-old. 
Yes, he can read it himself, and he may. He's read parts to himself. 
I read to him every night, trying to usually pick things he wouldn't 
read by himself, either because they are more difficult reading than 
he's used to, or because they are something he thinks he's not 
particularly interested in. I've read all the Harry Potter books to 
him, though he's also read parts of them at least to himself. But, I 
like being able to share it with him.

I am just now reading SS to my almost-6-year old. He's seen both of 
the movies, though not till they came out on DVD. I'm not planning 
to read GoF or OoP to him for a long while yet (though he enjoyed 
looking thru OoP at the pictures at the beginning of each chapter). 
He'll be at least 8 before GoF is out on DVD, I'll have to make a 
judgement call then, as well as making the same call as he learns to 
read. That's part of the reason I'm reading them all first. I 
appreciate your help, as well as the others who replied. It's good 
to know what to expect as far as this goes.
