Re: Two Versions of Harry Potter

Actually I'm quite surprised that this is considered an elementary
book.  Though the character of Harry Potter is probably about 13 in the
first story, the concepts in the story are really upper middle school
and high school.  I just read the first book and really enjoyed it.  I
bought all three for the high school.  Some of the themes in the book
are emotional abuse by his "Muggle" parents who don't understand
"wizardry", evil to harm, and greed for power.  Doesn't sound real
elementary to me.
