The British Board of Film Classification, have said that PoA will be given a PG rating, in the UK. Article: PoA Given "PG" certificate in the UK The final version of The Prisoner of Azkaban has been finished and given a PG certificate by the British Board of Film Classification.
The film's darker storyline hasn't stopped it being given the same rating as the first two Harry Potter movies.
Unlike the book of Azkaban, which is longer than the previous two adventures, the film is actually shorter than the last two.
It's official running time is 135 minutes.
Philosopher's Stone clocked in at 152 minutes long, and Chamber of Secrets was a whopping 160 minutes long.
The film has its world premiere in New York on 23 May, and its British premiere a week later on 30 May. Fans will get their chance to check it out shortly after that.

SHORTER! WAAAAAAAA. How can it be shorter, I hope they haven't missed too much out. :ermsmile:
I don't mind that it's a PG, I guess it still has to target the main audience at the box office. |

Probably not, our version of PG13 is 12A. Which is a shame, we'll have to put up with the kids now LOL | |

12 is only used for Video and DVD ratings.
I expect that they will put a warning on it as well, someting like 'contains scenes of fantasy horror which may be unsuitable for young children'
Just a guess though. | |

i really hoped it would be a 12a like LOTR RTK but sadly it is PG so people will be taking little tiny kids even though from what i have seen it isnt sutable for them.
they have probably cut scary stuff out to get it to a PG to make the most amount of money u know what WB is like | |

They want to see the movie just as bad as we do. My little brother is 8 and he would have been very dissapointed if he couldn't see it!
They have been waiting as long as us and they deserve a chance to see it too.

Well I wish it would be PG-13 also! Or 12A or what have you. I just wish it was a higher rating so it was less of a kids movie because people make fun of me at school for liking a kids movie... :unsure: :/ Well that's just my opinion. | |

Actually, I did mean "little" kids as in really young ones... like 6 years old or younger, with short attention spans and powerful lungs for screaming. If they're gonna be quiet and watch the movie and not ruin the experience for the rest of the audience than the "kids" are fine... but if I pay $8 for the movie and about $8 on popcorn etc... I want to enjoy it.
I can't say the ones that were there "from the beginning" because it was only this summer that I actually discovered that HP was books as well (Long story, very boring). But, anyway, I don't really care how long someone has been a fan of HP. | |

Oh I agree with you completely.
It is annopying when kids go see HP and scream and make noise. They dont understand that the older, more mature fans want to actually watch and appreciate the film.
Mind you, I just chucked popcorn at them last time round. That shut them up.
But seriously, OoP, I even struggled through that. So I dont see how kids as young as 8 can be reading OoP. | |

Parents assume that ohit is Harry Potter a film for children.... POA isnt it is scary at times i mean the dementors are. it is so annoying when little kid have to keep walking past you to get to the toilet or talking loudly saying,
"Mummy what is happenng?" that happend to me last year. this kid kept doing it he was like 10 so i turned around and said.
"If u dont know u should read the book so please shut up and stop spoinling my HP experence" his mam wasnt to happy but the people nxt to him were. lol | |
