I know we are to see more death, but I would hate for it to be one of 
the kids.  
I am not sure how I owuld be able to read the last book to my 7 year 
old.  She is a BIG fan, and it would be a crushing blow for her and, of 
course, for me too.

I can only speak for myself, but personally I would not read Harry 
Potter 4-5-6 to a 7-year old...
One, because a 7-year-old probably wouldn't understand the essense of 
those books, and second because they're simply too scary for a 7-year 
old to deal with.
So - I can't see how Rowling would have that agegroup in mind as she's 
writing the final book now that she's already set the *scare-standard* 
in at least the 3 previous books, and I can't see that standard reduced 
in the last one.
