LOL. True. :) But that still doesn't explain people taking
their young kids (toddler through 7/8 year olds) to see the
movie, either, as it doesn't look like a PG-equivalent movie
elsewhere. :)

::shrug:: But Reloaded is only the most recent example I can
think of--probably the most horrifying one I've seen was the
parents with two toddlers at The Cell.

But, back to HP--I don't think that getting a PG-13 rating
in US would hurt the franchise that much. I don't really
think many parents pay much attention to the ratings.
