JKR said that she did not write the book specifically for a focus group
of eight-year-olds or anything like that. She writes them as she feels
appropriate. That's probably why most bookstores have the books on
display out in the aisles instead of in a particular section!
I think it would be very unrealistic to believe that the
characters--middle/high school age--wouldn't say things like "Damn" or
"Can I see Uranus too, Lavender?" As my sophmore English teacher once
said, "If it gets you hot and bothered, you can leave." :):):)
