Three characters are killed by bad guys (2 of them on-screen). Harry is injured and tortured by enemies as he is restrained and hopelessly surrounded by bad guys. In each of the TriWizard Tournament tasks, characters are injured, kidnapped, and have their lives threatened by magical beasts and dangerous locations. A sporting event is razed to the ground by a group of Voldemort's soldiers with widespread destruction and implied civilian casualties. The film is also darker, grittier, and bloodier than previous Potter films with dark and foreboding themes as Voldemort's evil forces make their resurgence and cause destruction in their wake. A bitter jealousy-fueled feud between Harry and Ron leads to some bickering and the occasional (mild) swear word. One female character (a ghost) shows blatant sexual interest in Harry and attempts to watch him nude while bathing. Lots of focus on relationships and jealousy, and suggestive comments are made about/between students. The film is full of teen drama and romance that wasn't nearly as prevalent in previous Potter films.

Much like the 4th Potter book of the same name, Goblet of Fire lets you know from the very beginning that the Potter films aren't for younguns anymore. In addition, friendship, love, bravery, and loyalty are always major themes in the series, as is the idea of making good choices. Characters demonstrate courage, perseverance, and teamwork, as well as humility and integrity.

Romantic tensions ramp up in this installment. The action is sometimes rowdy, and camera movements/edits are aggressive, all of which increase the scary effects. So should kids going through an anxious time about unnamed terrors or unwanted separations, as one of the death scenes may be extra upsetting. Young kids who don't understand the difference between fantasy and reality should stay clear. This movie features fighting dragons, tortured bugs, a huge booby-trapped maze, and an underwater horror show. With each film, the scariness quotient increases. The fourth installment has two deaths (including a really sad one), scary creatures, some romantic yearnings, and edge-of-the-seat scenes.

Parents need to know that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the first PG-13 movie in the Harry Potter series (all based on the books by J.K.
