Goblet Of Fire's PG-13 rating justified
Today, an article published by USA Today discusses the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire's PG-13 rating in the United States. After a viewing of the film, they offer explanations as to why it was given this rating: "Scenes that may be of concern to parents include creepy spiders crawling on schoolchildren, fire-breathing dragons, monstrous mermaids, a character nearly suffocated by vines and a near-drowning. The film also contains mild profanity, sexual innuendo and the death of a main character."
On this topic, director Mike Newell said: "Audiences that began with No. 1 and are now 14, 15, 16 years old will kind of want to know you are not infantilizing the situation. These are not children's books; these are adult stories."
