Australian censors say latest Harry Potter film not for kids - M15+
Australia's Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) have slapped a M15+ rating onto the latest Harry Potter movie stating that it is too mature for children to see. The new rating of M15+ was given because of some scenes that the OFLC deemed to have "horror elements" included; those scenes feature Ron being attacked by a werewolf and a fight between a werewolf and Professor Snape. Both previous Harry Potter movies had a rating of PG in Australia.
The OFLC board said: "The classifiable elements are themes involving horror ... that are moderate in impact -- several of which are inextricably linked to violence -- and do not exceed a moderate level of menace or threat." The movie opens on June 10 in Australia. Awww, thats a bit harsh!! And I'm from Australia.....I hope I can still take my little bro, he's only 5

Australia is kinda strict on there censoring, I have seen several video games and movies that were officially banned from Australia.

In Australia, the Office of Film and Literature Classification had originally given the third film a "M" rating for mature, suggesting that the film was not suitable for children under the age of 15. The Classification review board decided yesterday that the "M" rating was not warranted for the film and downgraded it to PG, like in the U.S.

JKR didn't even let her daughter read the books (or read them to her) when she was 5, man.
