JK has always defended children's ability to handle stories with a somewhat grusome nature- I mean she was criticized for HP being too scary and about the explaining the horcruxes and ripping apart a soul into pieces- and kids and adults of every age loved it!

I completely agree with you. I think it's absolutely ridiculous when you have people like Laura Mallory come around and tell children what they should read and what not. It's unfair for her to assume that it's her "job" to protect kids that aren't her own from things that she doesn't even have a clue about. Harry Potter is a fantastic novel for children to read, with morals that are actually good for them to learn.
I mean hell, you've got Twilight which tells a story of a girl willing to loose her humanity for a guy that practically stalks her and no one is trying to get that out of school libraries. The world is messed up..

Anyway...gah I can't wait to read this book..
. And seeing a movie on it would really be tons of fun.
