I think it would be appropriate for the 11 year old and most likely, the 7 year old. My son is 5 and couldn't wait to see the movie-we've been reading the books aloud to him. There are some pretty scary parts, but my boy loves that stuff--the more gruesome and gothic, the better. He has a good friend who is 6 and he was pretty scared during the ending sequence, according to his parents. You would be the best judge, Cape Chef.
We also are looking forward to The Lord of the Rings. It looks awesome in the previews.
My advice for Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings is to buy tickets online. We bought them the night before and cruised through to seats down in front (our favorite place to watch movies.) You pay an extra $ service charge, but no hassles standing in line only to find the show sold out. We also sneak in food-fresh popped popcorn with nutritional yeast, liters of selzer and leftover halloween candy. It ticks me off to pay $8.00 for .50 worth of stale popcorn and flat soda. |
