The new Harry Potter movie has been rated too scary by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), and kids wouldn't be able to watch it alone.
Censors gave "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" a 12A rating , meaning that children under the age of 12 would not be able to watch it without an adult present.
The BBFC censors claim that the movie contains moderate fantasy violence, threat and horror. There are even instances of foul language, used by the star of the movie - young wizard Harry Potter - himself, reports claim.
Some of the moments deemed as especially terrifying are the cemetery fight when Harry engages the gang of Death Eaters, and the scenes featuring the Merepeople.
Actor Daniel Radcliffe, who is back as the boy wizard, owned to the censors' decision on his website danradcliffe.co.uk, saying that the movie was scary and it deserved the ratings. He added that there were some really frightening moments.
The violence in the books and therefore in the movies seems to be escalating as none of the previous three movies were restricted in any way. This leaves people who have read the fifth and six books wondering whether kids will be allowed in the theaters at all for their respective screenings.
