Whatever the rating is...is ok with me...It's not
Rowling that I am concerned about it's the director
and his interpretation.There is far to much in GOF
that cannot be left out without really messing up the
story.
I just think for very young kids..the parents need to
screen it first and then decide if there child can
handle it.
I don't think a death per se would cause a PG-13
rating.It would depend on how graphic it is. Even for
me there were a few scenes that made me turn my head..
esp the scene with slugs coming out of Ron's
mouth...yuk...but then again it is a part of the
book..
but I could have lived without seeing it  :-)
  As for the last comment...I D'ONT think it is
necessary to water down events...people just need to
use common sense in deciding what kids can see...
  Same things go for TV...I know a lot of people who
let their children (13yrs and under) watch the
Sopranos..If I had kids I would not let them watch
that
show..to much violence and sex for a child...and to an
extent for some adults...As much as I like the premise
of the show I stopped watching because of some of the
graphic violence.
