Thumbs down to the Australian Film and TV Censorship Board. Despite receiving a PG rating in both the US and UK (the standards that we tend to take after), our cerebral assassins decided that the latest Harry Potter movie should have a M15+ rating (recommended for 15+ but not restricted). Some of the panel even voted for an MA15+ classification (restricted to 15 and over accompanied by a mature adult), but very few went for PG.

While it is not a legal limitation, the rating is sure to sway the hearts and minds of some parents and is expected to impact the films box office receipts. There will be a few mums and dads with kiddies in the 6-15 bracket who's households will be quite traumatic with the kiddies being forbidden to see the latest Potter exploits.

The film distributors are appealing the classification.
Dave, just don't shave for a few day's, you should be ok
