Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • For Voldemort's resurrection, Pettigrew cuts off his own hand (offscreen); no blood, but his hand is absent from his sleeve. He is then given an artificial hand. He also uses a knife to cut open Harry's arm, and takes his blood for a potion.
  • The movie introduces us to the Killing Curse, which kills whoever gets hit by it immediately. While leaving the body unscathed without any gore, the idea of a spell that kills people immediately is rather unsettling. This spell is shown numerous times throughout the movie as the villian's primary offensive spell, killing a main character
  • Cedric is killed by a spell, and his body is seen clearly but with no gore.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Wormtail throws Voldemort in foetus form in a cauldron, lifts up a bone, amputate his hand and cuts Harry's arm with small amount of blood seen on a knife. That is how Voldemort (physical form) comes to life.
  • Harry is shown crying over Cedric's body. Cho Chang crying at the sight of Cedric's corpse is also sad.
  • Unlike Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) & Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) which are all PG meaning they are mostly tame and suitable for all ages, this is the first straight up 12. Whilst it's common now for film franchises to be 12, back in 2005 it was quite rare.
  • Amos Diggory cries and screams loudly over his dead son Cedric. This scene is also very emotional.
  • The Death Eaters (in black cloaks and skull masks) raid a Quidditch event.
