[HPFGU-Movie] HP targeted to teens+?

they will gear the movies toward the teen and young adult audience,
especially since Dan and Emma have already (at the young age of 14) reached
"heart throb" status (according
to the media).  

[from Valerie] 
When I first saw POA, there was a group of teens behind me fighting over
Harry "Harry's mine"..."Hands off, he's MINE!" Cute! These books are
definitely gearing up to teens, not kids. It's a weird dilemma. It's not
like other series of books where the kids don't really age. (like
Ramona-the-pest, for example). I suppose you could liken it to the Mary Kate
and Ashley books and movies. They started as young kids, and are now dating
and running around New York and London. I picked a bunch of those books up
at a yard sale, and realize that the pre-teen/teen books are too mature to
read to my 6 year olds. So I'll just have to put them aside for later. I
think parents will have to do the same for the HP books/movies.
