Anecdata: A child (11 y.o.) who has read cannon HP happened to see me reading HPMOR and started reading the first few chapters.
Paraphrasing: “It’s interesting but kind of complicated. There were a lot of parts I didn’t really understand, like the science stuff.”
Maybe there should be an abridged HPMOR for kids version.
Cut out the rape talk and reduce the depth of complicated explanations to make it easier to read. Should they enjoy it they probably will read the complete version later.
