Terrific but intense mix of love, friendship, fear, sorrow.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is extremely edgy for a PG movie -- in all ways, it's very similar to the previous two movies, which were rated PG-13. It continues the Harry Potter series' (all based on the books by J.K. Rowling) trend toward darker, more intense material. For young children, the death of a major beloved character could be extremely upsetting. Other characters are bloodied, kicked, and cursed in frightening ways, and a scene involving zombie-like characters is sure to scare little kids. There are also some big emotional upheavals and violent attacks. And there's notably more sexuality -- albeit playfully depicted -- than in the past movies. Because the characters are now teens, much of the interaction between them and their friends centers on getting a boy- or girlfriend, and there's plenty of snogging (making out). Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and his friends continue as strong positive role models who demonstrate courage, perseverance, and teamwork. Meanwhile, other characters' motives and plans become more ambiguous. There are also a few scenes that include alcohol consumption -- including one in which a professor serves his students.
