Congrats to J.K. well deserved. I also agree with darrrrwind that the books seem to age appropriate as Harry is growing up. Age 11 for the first book, and so on. The story is getting darker and more violent, may be to much for the younger fans.
But then in an interview I saw of J.K. she said herself that "people underestimate children" this was said in defending her books against teaching kids to be witches and wizards. I also think it could also apply to the younger readers. Best case senario is the parents read the book first and be available to help their child as needed.

Still think that Harry Potter is more than a children's book... I think an 'all-rounder' award would be more appropriate. Ah well, congratulations JK!

Wow! Does anyone have any idea how many awards JKR has won? I would find it hard to believe that she has not come close to, if not broken, several records for the number of awards in her closet.
