For us Brits... incase Joy's message did not make it clear enough, the US
movie rating R is very similar to our 18 rating.

For those interested here are some comparisons between the US and UK
ratings:

US: G     UK: U
US: PG    UK: PG
US: PG-13   UK: PG-12 / 15   (US don't seem to have something which compares
with the UK 15 rating)
US: R    UK: 18


And Canada has things slightly different again...   Pokemon The First Movie
for example, is G in the US, and PG in Canada.   Anyone in Canada know how
the canadian system matches with the above?   Seems like it may vary
depending what part of Canada you are in.

Sorry, can't find a link to any info on the US system.


And just to get this back on topic... what classification do you think the
Harry Potter movie should have?   Should it be G/U, PG or PG-13  (or
something higher!) ?
