MPAA confirms Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I to receive PG-13 rating
 

The Motion Picture Association of America, who rate films in the U.S. based on their content, have just informed SnitchSeeker that the rating for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I, out November 19, will receive a PG-13 rating.

The rating for Part II, out in July, has not been set, nor has post-production been completed. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be out November 19, 2010 and July 15, 2011.

At the moment there are two set premieres scheduled for Part I: the world premiere in London, to take place on Thursday, November 11; and the U.S. premiere in New York City on Monday, November 15, 2011. SnitchSeeker will be covering both events to bring the latest from the film, its stars, and filmmakers.

well DAH!!!!!! :rolleyes:

THANK GOD- I will be honest I was scared of what the US was gonna rate this one. I agree w. your DAH comment but I sometimes question the US ratings system. I am sure the Hermione scene alone gave it a PG-13 rating. Cant wait to see/hear what SS says :)

Yea, i dont think you would get an "R" rating. Pretty much expected.

Can't wait!

If part one is PG13, part two will definitely be the same. There's much more violence and frightening images in that one.

I've always thought some of the most violent movies were actually PG-13. Remember "The Dark Knight" ? Most people forgot that it wasn't Rated R, so violent! I cannot wait for "HP7: Part 1" !!!

Thank God!!!! How could it not be PG-13??? :)

Wooooooooooooo!

I'm... confused. Lol. How is this anything BUT expected?

I would be more shocked if they rated it R or PG... because those are ridiculous ratings, one because it over-exaggerates the existing violence and the other because it would imply it's a frilly, no-violence-whatsoever movie, which simply isn't possible to stay even REMOTELY true to the book.

Yay! I was wondering when people would stop speculating about the R rating. :)

Sooooo pleased with this decision!

I'm glad to see that DH1 is this rating! :yes:

This Is Such Good News!

DUH! It would be crazy to give it PG and even crazier to give it R!

Lmao.

It would of never gotten an R rating. Could you imagine the outrage by Potter fans everywhere who were'nt of age? WB just couldnt risk the backlash that would create.

it is nice hearing it officially .. like everyone is saying of course it would have been, but a lot of people were disappointed with the rating for HBP so its nice to hear its official for DH

cant wait !!

I'm so happy that it's only PG-13! I was so afraid it was going to be R, and then I'd actually have to go with either my sister or my mother :P But now it can just be my best friend and me!!
This makes it seem SUPER official now! I can't believe it's only 47 days away!! Yay!!

I'm really please with this decision :xd:

Good and it is getting closer. Wish I could go to one of the premieres.

good to hear it! i agree it would be weird to have it R or PG

That sounds good. R for an HP film would be a bit TOO much. So many kids would miss out on the film until their parents allowed them to see it.

Oh,okay.. Thank you for the information..

Like everyone else is saying, I'm not really surprised at all.

Not very surprising. It would've been strange if it was rated PG.
