Mother's hot water bottle gluggled as we took our seats to watch the latest Harry Potter offering at Shatti cinema.

- In one scene Harry is told that Cho couldn’t take her eyes off him.
- When Harry is asked what it was like to kiss Cho he said it was “wet”.
- When reference was made to Cho’s melancholy mood Ron stated, “Snogging would cheer her up.”
- In a couple of scenes Cho looks at Harry with romantic eyes.
- In one scene Harry and Cho engage in a long passionate kiss on the mouth.
- Bellatrix Lestrange is seen as a sensuous witch wearing a black tight fitting dress that exposes a degree of cleavage.
- At a family dinner some of the adults have a full glasses of beer in front of them but they are not seen drinking.
- At a Christmas dinner glasses of wine are on the table, but people are not seen drinking.
- Bad language includes; “Shut up;” “Stupid mother;” “Bloody hell;” “Old toad face;” “Toss pot;” “Bloody idiot;” “Filthy half breeds;” “Mad filthy half bloods."
You have been warned.
