the characters are brave loyal and make good choices, a bit scary but i dont see why it's so bad if you mention an alcohol's name it's not saying to drink it and not everyone knows that butterbear has alcohol in it. The deaths in it might be scary too, but its a great movie!

What Parents Need to Know
About Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Parents need to know that this film has two deaths (including a really sad one), scary creatures, some romantic yearnings, and edge-of-the-seat scenes. With each film the scariness quotient increases. This movie features fighting dragons, tortured bugs, a scary huge maze, and an underwater horror show. Young kids who don't understand the difference between fantasy and reality should stay clear. So should kids going through an anxious time about unnamed terrors or unwanted separations, as one of the death scenes is upsetting. The action is sometimes rowdy, and camera movements/edits are aggressive, all of which increase the scary effects. One of the deleted scenes featured on the DVD shows teen couples after the Yule Ball getting caught kissing, etc., in carriages -- it's a little more sexual content than you get in the feature film.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the film's more mature content and who this movie is targeted to. Young kids are going to want to see this -- should the movie have been toned down or is the violent content appropriate given the age of the characters? For kids who read the book, which plot points got left out that you missed? Why do you think they left out the house elves? What role did they serve in the books? Cheating is rampant among the teachers and judges involved in the Triwizard competition, but not among the competitors. Why do you think this is? Does Ron have a right to be jealous if he didn't ask Hermione to the ball?

I LOVED IT!!!
I loved this movie!! It is my favorite movie that they have made. I thought that it was pretty accurate, except a little from the graveyarf was left out, and when Harry was in the Hospital Wing, and Sirius was in it. And that Rita Skeeter is an Animagus. I thought that Daniel Radcliffe acted awesome in the Graveyard scene!!! I liked this movie sooo much, I got it loaded on my PSP. I thought the scene with moaning Myrtle was really funny!!! And the big, intense fight with Harry and Voldemort was AWESOME!!!I would recomend this movie to anyone 11 and up.

Excellent film!
In this movie there is no guns or blood spraying everywhere. There is only wands, dead bodies, and a little blood. The most violent scene in this film is in the grave yard. Someone gets killed, a wrist gets cut off, and blood is drawn. It's scary, but it only lasts a little bit. There are also other violent scenes spread throughout the movie, but I don't consider those an issue. An inappropriate scene in this film is when Harry is taking a bath and there is a ghost girl flirting with him. There is also some kissing after the Yule Ball, but I don't think it's that much of a problem. I love the Harry Potter series and recomend it to all above age 9!

Excellent film!
In this movie, there isn't any guns or blood spraying everywhere. There's just wands and dead bodies. There's one scary scene where Harry is fighting a dragon. That's pretty much the most violent part. Otherwise, there is other mild vioence throughout the movie. The most inappropriate scene is how Harry is taking a bath and a ghost girl is in the water with him. And there is some kissing going on at the ball, but that is not an issue at all. Other than that, it is a wonderful film where there is action at every corner. I love the Harry Potter series and I recomend it to ages 9 and up!

GREAT !!!!!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES!!!!!!!
Great movie,though it does skip details from the book. Anyone who likes the serise would like this film. At the end it can get scary or dark and there is a big intence fight in the grave yard. in it there is violence such as the avada cadavra curse (the killing curse)and tons of spells. becides that it is a great movie.

This is a great movie to watch whenever you feel like curling up in pajamas with popcorn. Some overly picky Harry Potter fans would say this movie left out some parts from the book, but don't let that stop you from watching this movie. It is great.

Beautifully crafted, powerful, and amazing Harry Potter film; not too intense for kids yet fun for all ages!
The movie is amazing, one of the best Harry Potter films. The PG-13 isn't exactly fitting; it could belong to a heavy PG rating. I would say it's fine for kids 10+, or even younger, because the violence is very, very minimum. Amazing movie!

SCORE ANOTHER ONE FOR HARRY POTTER
Had it's violent parts, some blood, you see characters with cuts on them and people kiss. Little kids might find voldamort distrbing, because he's not human, the gravyard scene might scare small children.Some language, mostly Harry's friend Ron saying bloody hell. I LOVED this movie! I love Harry Potter! 5th one comes out soon, can't wait!
