A new report is online today, stating a rating has been given to the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Rope of Silicon is reporting that the sixth Harry Potter film has been rated PG for
"scary images, some violence, language and mild sensuality." Update: This has now appeared on the MPAA website, with a definite PG rating.
As readers will recall GoF and OotP have both been rated PG-13, with PoA the last PG rated movie in the series.
Interesting. I’m trying to think of what in HBP could possibly make it PG-13. Maybe the bathroom fight, and the inferi, but those could just as easily be toned down to a PG level.
Umm… What about a certain death that happens in this book. Surely they are going to include it. This book seems the most violent out of the previous five, I don’t see how they are going to keep it PG
Maybe this will create more interest, for the ones that don’t know Harry Potter films very well, to go to see it. Personally, i am of the idea that Twilight should be made PG, even if the higher level of “sensuality” is a kiss. My opinion is that a spot to publicise castity (twilight is called like that in many websites) is an ipocricy. So, why they didn’t make PG even that? Sorry for the grammar mistakes, i’m italian.
After Draco gets cut open? No, no, I don’t think so. This is the darkest movie yet. I hope that they didn’t tone the Inferi or the bathroom scene down—the intensity and gruesomeness of those scenes is what makes them significant.
This is not Kool,we should wait for a confirmation.
Better be PG-13 cause the trailers make the film look very scary,violent,and awesome for a PG movie LOL. Come on PG-13.

No way! I haven’t waited all this EXTRA time just to get a toned down piece of trash! It’s a back-step for the series! So what, we now have pathetic looking Inferi or something? Because there is no way they could have got a PG at that level! And the test screeners described it as mature, dark, and intense! WB told them at the test screening it was expected to get PG-13!
This is utter rubbish! I will not stand for it! I will REBELAGAINST WB! YOU CAN’T POSTONE A MOVIELIKETHISANDTHENMAKE IT KIDDIE! AND LET’S FACE IT, THISFILMWILL BE RUBBUSH IF IT IS TONEDDOWN TO PG! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!
This better not be true.. every new piece of news about the hbp makes me fear that hbp is going to suck…. If thir rumour proves to be true I WON’T WATCHTHEMOVIE! US FANSDESERVERESPECT! WE ARETHEONESWHOMADETHISFRANCHISEWHAT IT IS!
seems to me that all the raters care about is sex scenes when it comes to a PG or PG13 rating; violence or scariness doesn’t matter. (of course, it does, but those people are just looking for sensuality with a cap S, and language.)
I don’t think I’ll ever understand how people feel that a movie MUST be rated PG-13 or harsher in order to be “more awesome.” Really, there’s no need to feel threatened anymore. We can have another PG movie and still be taken seriously.
[Harry] thought she looked just like a large, pale toad. She was rather squat with a broad, flabby face, as little neck as Uncle Vernon, and a very wide, slack mouth. Her eyes were large, round, and slightly bulging. Even the little black velvet bow pe
That would be cool.
