Rated: PG

Suitable for: 10 and up, or younger children familiar with the book.

What you should know: The sixth movie of the sixth book in the "Harry Potter" series finds 16-year-old Harry, Ron and Hermione dealing with the evil Lord Voledemort's legion of Death Eaters, who are becoming brazen in attacks on wizards and Muggles alike. At Hogwarts school, headmaster Dumbledore has a mission for Harry, while the teen wizard and his friends are in the throes of coming-of-age turmoil. Jim Broadbent joins the all-star cast as Professor Horace Slughorn.

Language: None.

Sexual situations and nudity: Love and lust are in the air for the teens at Hogwarts. There's suggestive talk and one particularly crass boy, but mostly, passion is expressed with silliness (a smothering, lovestruck girl; a potion that renders Ron goofy). There's also the occasional "snogging" (heavy smooching), and one sweet kiss between Harry and the new girl in his life.

Violence/scary situations: The opening scene shows Death Eaters on the loose, destroying a pedestrian bridge in London. Harry and his nemesis, Draco Malfoy, have a wands-out, bloody encounter; a female student is attacked via a curse; and nasty creatures give the audience and Harry a jolt as he and Dumbledore face a fight for their lives. Voldemort appears in flashbacks as his younger self, the creepy Tom Riddle. A home is destroyed, and a beloved character dies.

Drug or alcohol use: There is the social and medicinal drinking of beer (not to be confused with butterbeer) and wine.
