They can be kid-scary in places, but both of them enjoy the series very much and it hasn't been too scary for them. We've read the first 4 books, and I don't think they've been any scarier than the first two Harry Potter books. Though I have had to have conversations with them along the lines of, "If you find yourself being transported to magical lands and are worried that evil witches are going to come out of paintings and haunt you, please don't hide it from me. I will do my best to help you."(less)
