When will people learn, Harry Potter isn't a child, he's a teenager.

Oh and violent? A mass murderer trying to desparately kill a teenager so he can have world domination? A horde of Death-Eaters chasing six students around the Department of Mysteries, using unforgiveable curses on them? I suppose that's not in the least bit violent...

Biggest load of tosh I've ever heard personally. Next thing, they'll be trying to declare Harry Potter should be completely 'child friendly'. Ridiculous. I really wish they'd stop assuming that catering purely for the kiddies, is the right thing to do. Harry in himself, isn't a kid, so why should they treat his film like one?

*too frustrated for words*

I really hope GoF lives up to expectations. I want to be horrified, I want the final scenes to be so scary that I go to bed that night, having nightmares about Lord Voldemort. Harry Potter, to some extent, is meant to be violent, scary, hormonal.

Maybe the title for this should be "OotP almost directed properly." LOL

I agree, book five is much darker and more adult than the other books. I always feel that JK writes in a way that is appropriate to the age that Harry is in the book. I can't imagine ,many ten year olds tackling book 5 anyway as it is so long! So maybe they should make the next film a 15 so they can really delve into Harry's emotions, show a bit more violence and of course there is the kissing scene!
