Rmmiller95: 
I have a five year old and a seven year old,
they have listened to all five sets of tapes of the books.
 
They can tell me what is happening in the story.
 Not as well as an adult could, but they get all the main points.

 I think that any child who is interested in the story could 
understand it.

 I know that my children can't wait for the next movies and books to 
come out.

 My 7 year old even guesses what will hapen to Harry  in the next 
book. 

I know that Harry Potter is really big in my kids classes. Most of 
them have the books and or movies.
