This is too true. I really don't think the movies themselves
will suffer if they go up to PG-13 around GoF/OOP time.
(Assuming they don't just leave out the disturbing things
like Umbridge's detention quill, which is what I think is
most likely.) Frankly, I don't think enough parents in the
US care enough. I tend to go to the movies every week or so
and see what's opening--not only are the PG-13 movie lines
packed with parents taking small (2-6 year olds) children,
but the R rated lines aren't much better.

Or maybe I've just become jaded this year. ::sigh::
