Maybe I am looking too much into it as an adult.  Maybe it will go over kids 
heads.  But didnt people find this disturbing?  I know someone else said 
something on this subject.  But I was just do disturbed after reading this.  Harry 
and co. have really grown up, they are doing grown up things, thinking grown 
up things, and yet there are 8 year olds reading this.  Am I underestimating 
them or something?  But isnt it disturbing how Umbridge punishes Harry?  Isnt it 
disturbing about James treatment of Snape?  Will kids understand all of the 
political undertones and the angst?  Surely its only going to get more grown 
up?  I dont know how much kids take in, I dont know how much of this book they 
will appreiciate.  But its all so... adultish.. (yea I could of come up with a 
better word).  And what about the death?  There was no blood (apart from 
Nevilles nose bleed... and can I mention blood when Harry was writing into his 
hands with Umbridge again?!) but don't you think that the Veil may scare children? 
 I thinkt eh fact that Harry could hear voices behind it is the most chilling 
thing I have ever read, or even, ever thought of.
What do you guys think?
