The 7th Harry Potter Movie (if There Is One) Will Be Rated R 18+
At the rate they are getting worse now, with dark themes and frightening scenes the 7th one could be completely unsuitable for young Harry Potter fans.

It probs will be.
If you count the number of people who die - and they all do so very violently.
At least MA-15 plus

It's true, I got it on the nudge nudge that Ron takes Himani up the magic passage...

 I've actually read the book (gasp!) and I can categorically tell you that it will not be an eighteen.

By the way, it's Hermione...

What's is so scary about the last Harry Potter book and film, isn't all just adoption? PG-13 would just be just fine with me...especially those who had read the book.... Lets consider the parady between Lord of the Ring and Narnia: Prince Caspian, see their rating for yourself.

I severely doubt that the 7th film will be given an R rating (or 18 where I live in the UK). The books are generally aimed at children/teenagers so I highly doubt that the film will be made unsuitable for people under the age of 18. Many viewers would be lost if the rating was put up.

It is true that the books films have been darker of late. The last two Harry Potter films were rated 12A, which means suitable for people aged 12 and over (accompanied by an adult if they are under 12). This was a suitable rating considering the content of the two films.

The seventh book does contain swear words, but this is hardly enough to give the film an 18 rating and there has already been the use of swear words in the previous films.

The deaths in the book are not gory and will be no different to how characters have died in the previous films.

Films such as Lord of the Rings and other battle films were given a 12 rating in the UK, so I hardly think that the seventh film will be worse than these types of films. I compare the film to Lord of the Rings as there are battle scenes in the seventh book and the majority of characters die by magic and not weapons such as swords.

Children who have read the book will know what to expect. Children who haven't read the books are likely to have already seen the previous films and will already be used to the dark themes.

The film-makers are not idiots. They know if it is too adult, they will lose half of their audience.

No, it will be PG-13 like the others. If the kids have read the book, it won't be a big deal and most of the fans who started with the first book are adults now anyhow.

There really isn't anything in the book that was so dark that kids can't be exposed to it.

I seriously doubt this will be the case.

I don't think it will, because the majority of their expected sales would be by people under 18....
