I can say that at my school, the kids reading Harry Potter, would only be the 7-8th graders and then on the ones who actually read at grade level, which lowers that amount significantly, as most of our kids don't read on grade level.

HP7 would probably be a YA book if the rest of the series wasn't on the kids shelves. The books do progress in depth, subject matter, and danger which gives a nice continuum. I would have been one of the young kids reading it if it had been out back then, but I was (am) a huge reader.
