Two new topics concerning the latest movie in the Harry Potter franchise aka Half Blood Prince, and some would consider these major spoilers and as such may be seen as revealing as say when Warner Brothers released all those damn clips from the film Goblet Of Fire before the film was even released. So, to which I will put these under the cut.

One concerns the excuse the British Film Classafication Board has given to the rating of the sixth film in the series which includes some really detailed descriptions of two key scenes that appeared to help sway their decision to give the film a 12A rating. These sound really promising and give me new hope in this movie and that it will be more than this damn rom-com bull crap. The next, and possibly more explosive release, is the full Tom Riddle memory scene in HBP that was shown at the recent MTV awards is now online with a slightly longer cut.

The explanation contains what some may consider as spoilers, so please click the link below to continue reading! BBFC’s rating explanation:

‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’, a fantasy adventure film based on the book of the same title, finds Harry and his friends returning to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for their sixth year. The film contains moderate threat. The moderate threat occurs in one quite scary sequence in which Harry and Professor Dumbledore are attacked by menacing looking creatures that have emerged from an underground lake. Harry is pulled into the lake and dragged beneath the water.

The scene has the potential to upset younger or more sensitive children.

In another scene Draco Malfoy kicks Harry (below screen) and appears to break his nose; blood can be seen on Harry’s face. Tables are turned later on in the film when Harry defeats Malfoy in a wand battle in the school toilets. Malfoy, who is rendered unconscious, has several bloodstains on his white shirt and his blood can be seen to mix with and cloud the water on the flooded floor. Malfoy, however, is soon completely healed by a nearby teacher.

The film contains mild language including the words ‘God’, ‘bloody’, tosser’, ’sod’, ‘hell’ and ‘git’.

I am glad that the more recent bits of news of this movie shows that the darker, more sinister elements are being kept in this film so hopefully like POA I will get the gorgeous visuals along with a more sinister and cruel edge to the proceedings. I will always lament the loss of Cuaron from the HP as imo he was the best thing that ever happened to them, but if Yates can give me something akin to it in HBP and indeed Deathly Hallows then I will be happy.
