Nov 19, 2010. I just returned from seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and really enjoyed it. Is the movie is OK for kids to see? It really depends on a few things. If your child read the book, they know what is going to happen and I don’t think the movie will bother them. There is some blood in the movie and some death. Some things (usually a giant snake) jump out and make the audience yelp. It is rated pg-13, but my twelve-year-old loved it. We are definitely going to see it again.

Below, I will describe the scenes with the blood so you can be the judge. If you don’t want to know what happens in the movie don’t read on.

It followed the book well enough, but some of my favorite parts of the book were left out. I really liked the fact that Dudley becomes a little ‘good’ in the beginning of the last book, but that was left out.

Do you want to know at what point they ended the movie? Read on and I’ll tell you.

Here are the parts of the movie with scary and/or blood content. In the beginning of the movie George gets injured and there is quite a lot of blood in the scene coming from his ear and drenching his neck and clothes (in the book his ear is completely severed. Not so in the movie). The ‘muggle studies’ teacher is killed and her body lands on the table that is surrounded by death-eaters. Voldemort tells his snake to chow down and the snake jumps at the camera. Ron get splinched while escaping from the ministry of magic and his arm is bloody and had big gashes (he is writhing in pain). In one scene, Harry and Hermione make out and are obviously naked, although it doesn’t show any ‘private parts’. I know what you’re thinking. “Oh, come on! That didn’t happen!” But it really did. Remember when they are in the woods and the “locket/Voldemort’s soul” tries to upset Ron by showing him that Harry and Hermione are having an affair? There is a really sad part where Dobby dies, that is really, really, really drawn out. In one scene, Hermione finds blood on the walls of a creepy old lady’s house (Bathilda Bagshot) and it turns out old Bathilda is really Voldemort’s snake (this scene was particularly scary). In one scene, Hermione gets tortured in Malfoy’s house and screams a lot. That’s really about it for the parental advisory. As for where they ended the movie, it was right after Dobby the house elf dies and Voldermort gets the Elder Wand. So we have to wait until July, 2011, to see the rest of the movie. I hope they made it really longer than two and a half hours so they can get more stuff from the book in.
