rmmiller95:

 I have a 7 year old and she has listened to all five books and 
understands them just fine.

 She can't wait for the next one to come out.

 I read somewhere that JKR is writing as Harry is growing up so the 
syles will grow with him.

 Maybe if your grandaughter could use the book tapes she would have 
an easier time with it.

 I know that the reading is to hard for my seven soon to be eight 
year old. 

 I don't post much so sorry if it isn't done well.
