Okay, Lord of the Rings is most definitely not for kids. The Hobbit maybe is, but even that's a stretch. Narnia though? How is that overly dark? I mean, yeah, some of the books are a little darker than others, but it seems to me that it's no more dark than JKR's are. I can't speak for the DiR books, because I haven't read them since I was a kid.
She plotted these stories out from start to finish a decade ago, though, so maybe that is exactly what the story called for, in her mind. Maybe for her there was no other place it could go.
