Half Blood Prince is getting a PG rating?!??!?!?!?
Ok I'm posting the text of the article below:
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” seems to be on a crash course to disappointing the Harry Potter fanbase. First, there were usual rumblings about changes to the story and characters, and then came the awful decision to delay “Half-Blood Prince by more than a year.
Now, Rope of Silicon reveals that the movie has finally been given the rating by the MPAA - and it has earned a rather soft rating of PG. As fans know, the books continue to grow darker as Voldemort’s power grows, and there are scenes of intense violence in “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.”
Remember when Harry and Dumbledore had to fight off the hoards of zombie-like Inferis? Katie Bell being poisoned by a necklace? Or the final battle, when Death Eaters descend on Hogwarts to force Draco Malfoy to murder Professor Dumbledore?
A PG rating likely means that much of this has been toned down. David Hayman already confirmed to Potter fansite SnitchSeeker that the Battle of Hogwarts had been cut in order to “avoid repetition.”
But fans of the book want to see the action as well as the key character moments - and toning down the film for soft ratings may leave us feeling cheated. Can we really believe in Voldemort as a threat if he’s only a PG threat, committing off-screen violence?
CRAP CRAP CRAP How in GOD's name do they expect people to know what is going on if they haven't read the books. *cries* FUCK YOU WB!
