Hi, I just had to respond to this post.  I've read SS and CoS to my five
year old daughter and am currently half way through PoA.  She loves them :-)
She's never had any problem with the characters or the stories.  I thought
at first that she was a little young and that most of what I read would go
right over her head but she surprised me with how much she remembered.  She
even got a lot of the humor.  She even makes up little games and gives some
of her toys character names.  She's even got her 3 year old brother
involved.  He surprised me the other day by noting that I was wearing green
and called me the Whomping Willow :-)  I'm very glad that I started reading
them to her (but I'll wait until she's older to read her GOF)and it's been
great for me too.  I'm seeing things I missed the first couple of read
through.  When my 3 year old is five, I'll read them to him too!
