Today, an article published by USA Today discusses the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire's PG-13 rating in the United States. After a viewing of the film, they offer explanations as to why it was given this rating: "Scenes that may be of concern to parents include creepy spiders crawling on schoolchildren, fire-breathing dragons, monstrous mermaids, a character nearly suffocated by vines and a near-drowning. The film also contains mild profanity, sexual innuendo and the death of a main character."

On this topic, director Mike Newell said: "Audiences that began with No. 1 and are now 14, 15, 16 years old will kind of want to know you are not infantilizing the situation. These are not children's books; these are adult stories."

That sucks, not for me but for the kids who are under 13 that like the movies and books. The first three were PG and now this one is going to be PG13. I see why, the main characters dying and all, but for the people who are younger that saw the first three and read all the books, its going to suck. Some parents might not want them to see it now...

Its still gonna be a mega smash. The rating won't matter.

It gets better and better.
