Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire Handed 12a Rating?

[thom t]

I heard today on Newsround that the new HP film is being given a 12a rating (unlike its three predecesors which were given PG ratings),and that this one is much scarier than the last 3

Cant wait !!

 

[Abbigoose]

not surprised really , they are definitely getting darker as they go on

 

[iet543]

A really great result for Potter!!!!

Can't wait for it now!!!

 

[Corinyy!]

You never know, the last film may be given an 18 rating.

I wonder what Harry and Hermonie get up too..

 

[Dylan the Catholic teen.]

12a is fine, it's not going to cause any trouble because all the children that wouldn't get into a 12 original would normally go with their parents anyway for a PG film in the first place. So makes no difference really.

 

[Regna Storma]

I'm more interested in the cast list on the bbfc site:

12A: Contains moderate fantasy violence, threat and horror
This work was passed with no cuts made.


The cast for this work includes: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Robbie Coltrane, Ralph Fiennes, Michael Gambon, Brendan Gleeson, Jason Isaacs, Gary Oldman, Miranda RicharRABon, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Timothy Spall, David Bradley, Jarvis Cocker, Warwick Davis, Frances De La Tour, Tom Felton, Robert Hardy, Shirley Henderson, Matthew Lewis, Roger Lloyd-Pack, James Phelps, Oliver Phelps, David Tennant, Mark Williams, Bonnie Wright.

Who is Jarvis playing?

 

[Zombie King]

Jarvis sings in the film. There is a wizard rock band called the Weird Sisters that comprises of Jarvis, two members of Radiohead and a couple of other people. They play at the Yule Ball in the movie. Jarvis wrote three songs for the movie

It's been rated higher for 'sequences of fantasy violence and frightening images', according to the
IMDB.

 

[Questioned Mind]

it doesnt really matter. with the 12a rating, anyone can go as long as they are with an adult, and lets face it, most under 12s go with adults anyway

I found the last one dead scary So not sure I'm up to the new one

 

[Riku]

Apparently there's a sweary word in there and all. Doubt it's worse than the ones they've had so far though

 

[breboo]

I agree, they are definately getting darker. At least there arn't going to be any cuts though .

Btw: I heard Harry has a nude scene in this film, although at a 12A im sure it'll just be a quick topless shot .

The book isn't that scary but the last of the third of the film could become quite scary and who does David Tennant play in this film??.

 

[Ms. Sutton]

I take it some people don't read through the rest of the posts in the topic, I more or less said that...

 

[.!.!.!.!.!.!]

They dont recommend this film for young children because of it being much darker than the rest.

 

[justannae]

I reckon the mere sight of Mad Eye Moody with his crazy swivelling eye is probably enough to scare young children, let alone anything else.

 

[Hauss]

he's playing Barty Crouch Junior ...........and he's all dressed up like Doctor who lol

 

[Roko]

I think they will have to make age certificates higher as the movies go on. The books become darker for a reason, so its only right the movies follow suit. I think it will spoil things if they are played down just to make them suitable for young children. They will grow up and be able to watch it one day, whereas if its made 'child-friendly' it will be that way forever.

 

[deadbeat sweetheart]

Order of the Phoenix will probably get a 12A certificate as well and I'm sure Half Blood Prince and the Final Book will get 15 Certificates.
