Sex & Nudity

Violence & Gore

  • There is a lot of duelling with Death Eaters and witches and wizards. People are bloodied up, killed and injured. The part where there are a lot of dead bodies of favorite characters can be very emotional to viewers.
  • On the aftermath of the Gringotts heist, Voldemort is shown slaying everybody in the Gringotts lobby room for failing to stop the heroes, with lifeless bodies of goblins and humans strewn up everywhere around the room
  • A werewolf fatally mauls and feasts on Lavender brown before being knocked to the nearby ravine by Hermione
  • A man gets brutally killed by a snake (seen from behind a stained glass window). While nothing too graphic is shown we see the outline of the snake rapidly attacking the man till near death. You also hear the man make disturbing sounds of pain (grunts/gasps).
  • One of most disturbing and violent Harry Potter movies.
  • A character is burned alive
  • A character freezes before exploding... not bloody but we see them burst into blank dust.
  • Some of the visuals are a bit frightening
  • There is surprisingly graphic and upsetting violence in this film. Beloved characters are shown being met with sudden and agonizing deaths; occasionally with bloody results and detail.

Spoilers

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

Violence & Gore

  • Voldemort dies and appears to be shredded up into paperlike pieces... he shouts in pain but there's no blood
  • Voldemort "kills" Harry, but Harry ends up in limbo. In limbo he sees a bloody, fetus-like version of Voldemort. It's revealed he's actually alive
  • A character slices a snake in half. There's no blood but the snake dissolves in black dust

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • One scene in particular that is incredibly emotional and heartbreaking is when Harry looks into Snape's memories and realizes that he and Harry's mother were childhood friends and that he was in love with her. One of the memories shows Snape finding Lily Potter's dead body and bursting into tears while holding her in his arms.
  • Harry learns from Snape's memories that he needs to sacrifice himself in order to defeat Voldemort. Hermione in particular becomes very emotional on hearing this. (He ends up surviving the curse due to Voldemort having used Harry's blood to regenerate in the fourth film.)
  • One of the Weasley twins dies.
