Parents need to know that this supernaturally tinged crime drama contains fantasy elements (wizards, ghostly creatures, magical spells, etc.) that could be scary to younger viewers. There's some violence, both realistic and fantasy -- such as a bad guy punching the main character repeatedly, drawing blood. Other minor adult elements include the main character waking up in bed with a woman, brief kissing scenes, and a quick look at a woman in her underwear. Brief glimpses of creepy, mildly gruesome elements (like a skinless corpse) occur semi-regularly.

Families can talk about crime shows. What do they all have in common? What sets this one apart from the others? What's the appeal of crime dramas? Does the fact that there are so many of them on TV make crime seem more present in our lives? What things about police and detective work do people learn from these shows? Families can also talk about magic. Do you believe in the kind of supernatural powers Harry has? Why are people so fascinated by the idea of magic in general?
