PG for HBP

posted by [personal profile] connielane at 05:25pm on 07/01/2009
According to AICN, the Harry Potter films will have their first PG rating since Prisoner of Azkaban in 2004. Lots of wankery in the Talk Back, but some humor, too, as people resign themselves to the fact that the part where Hermione gets raped won't be in HBP. :P

And, for the record, I don't think this is any indication of quality or lack thereof. The MPAA is very well known for being mercurial (to put the best possible spin on it) about how harshly they rate films and for what reasons.

Hard to imagine the Inferi plus the sex, drugs and rock and roll will make for a movie less "adult" than GoF or OotP. But hey, what do I know, the MPAA never made a lot of sense to me. What made the last two movies PG-13 anyway?

I felt that Wormtail's hand being chopped off BY HIM was enough to make GoF PG-13 without anything else, although I'm not completely clear why OotP was PG-13. Perhaps Voldemort possessing Harry? The Occlumency lessons? (And the slashy subtext thereof?) So I can see HBP being PG if they do one thing in particular: keep the violence committed by Greyback offscreen and have the innuendo concerning his chief choice of target (young children) vague enough to fly over the heads of the kiddies. Otherwise it's a relatively bloodless affair, IMO, but I'm also guessing that a lot of the sexual innuendo will be cut out or made sufficiently cryptic to younger kids.

Definitely sarcasm, which I thought I was clear about but I guess not. ;)
