Someone help, because I can't find the quote, but didn't  JKR say 
something (answering queries about the themes being age  appropriate 
for children) that basicaaly stated she was writing the story  that 
was in her, without purposely dumbing it down for kids, but that she  
felt the average 9 year old would be able to handle it?

I wish I'd  had these books when I was nine, instead of Sweet Valley  
High!

I do remember her saying that she didn't write for a particular age  group,
just writing a story she'd like to read.  But I don't think I remember 
her saying a 9 year old should be able to handle it.  I do however  remember
her saying that she recieved a letter from a parent stating that she  thought 
the books were too dark for her child.  JKR responded by saying,
"DONT READ THE OTHER BOOKS."
