The Australian PoA Premiere

Veritaserum have found a short report from the Australian Premiere of 'Prisoner of Azkaban' which occured in Sydney. SMH has the story.

Quote:
Forget spells and magical forms of time travel. Forget young wizards becoming temperamental teens. The controversial rating was the talking point at the premiere of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in Sydney yesterday.

Quote:
In terms of impact, the third instalment in the series seems to fall between PG for parental guidance and M 15+ .
Quote:
Liam Fitz-Gerald, 8, of Randwick, was "kind of scared" by a werewolf chasing Harry and Hermoine but enjoyed the movie more than the previous two.
Quote:
The visiting English actor David Thewlis, who plays Professor Lupin, had no qualms about the content after seeing the movie at its British premiere.

"A lot of kids that I met in London were tiny little things," he said. "I asked if they were scared, and they weren't scared at it. It's a little darker but so are the books. And children are so sophisticated these days with cinema-going, I don't think anything really scares them."
