Well, they've never even tried to get a G rating, even with SS/PS, which they watered down a lot.  I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up with PG-13 for GoF of not OoP.   Now, I've no idea what this means, as I don't know what the UK rating system for movies is.  But for what it's worth, Chris Rankin (Percy) said in an interview about the filming of PoA (from BBC in early June) "I've a feeling it might be a 12A certificate, but that won't stop kids coming to see it. "  Anyone care to explain what a 12A certificate is?  I see on IMDB PS and CoS were UK PG, which sounds like our ratings here in the US.  And I noticed the James Bond movie Die Another Day is UK 12A and that's PG-13 here.  Are they equivalent ratings?

I'm imagining the kid who plays Seamus.  "Boy, I'm such a jerk!"

It all depends on the person really.  Myself, I have to kick myself after a few hours of Pride and Prejudice because I'll start speaking with an accent.  Eleanor has lived in the UK for around three years now, maybe more.  So she may well have picked it up.  However, whether she even wants to stay on would of course depend of Chris Columbus stays on as at least producer.
