I used to work in a cinema once and one thing I'v learned: The age-thing doesn't have do be a decision by content and "suitable" age... In many cases it's a money thing... Big firms - big money - big compromises in these things! In Germany The Chamber of Secrets was free for kids from 6 years on. Well, I'm 27 and at the end during the basilisk scenes I was actually to be found somewhere under my seat or alternatively on my friends lap hiding my eyes
To be honest: I didn't find it appropriate for 6-year old kids I've to admit. While reading pt 4 and the whole cementry-scenes I didn't dare to sneak to the loo (well, it was at nighttime

)!! Ok, I might not be the right person, a bit jumpy I am, BUT if they make the film similar to the books - it's kind of horror, isn't it? I definately want it to be like in the books, no question 'bout that, but they will have trouble with the rating.
I'm really looking forward seeing Moody's magical eye and his chopped nose! And the whole of this grumpy old badger! And I can't wait to see Ron's face

while he sees Hermione being Krum's girl at the ball... hehe.... No, he's not jealous, no no... *cough*
And yes, Voldie! At last...!
