Femke answers “okay so can anyone tell me how old a child...”

Shreemayi asked this question about Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Harry Potter, #5):

okay so can anyone tell me how old a child should be to read this book?

Femke I find that it is a pretty difficult book maybe for a young child, it's like the books grow older the further you get into the series. Witch is nice, …moreI find that it is a pretty difficult book maybe for a young child, it's like the books grow older the further you get into the series. Witch is nice, because i'm 20 now and i still found it exciting, scary, fun and entertaining. I wouldn't have been able to read it when i was 10 but of course every child is different! I just find that there are a few very scary ( and bloody) scènes and also a few difficult topics (like losing someone and trauma) that i would probably not have understand at a young age. If i had to put an age on this book i would say 13-14 years. (less)
