Hp replacement for keen 7 yo

My 7 year old has got hooked on Harry Potter. Shes read (and reread) the first three and loved them. We have the whole series at home because she has older siblings so she's picked this up herself rather than us suggesting it. Her siblings were quite a bit older when HP interested them so age suitability wasn't an issue.

Now I've reluctantly put my foot down about the goblet of fire and the rest of the HP books as I don't think the content is right for her age. Dd is angry with me as she just thinks it'll be more of the same of the previous 3.

Any books that are more suitable for her age that young HP enthusiasts might enjoy? Her reading level is very good but her understanding is still that of a 7 year old!

Percy Jackson. Artemis Fowl. Worst Witch. Slightly different as Greek Gods and Faery realm rather than magic for the first two.

Is it the [spoilers] (death) in the Goblet of Fire or the overall tone that is a concern, OP?
