New Harry Potter movie may scare kids
The latest Harry Potter movie, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" may not be suitable for children's viewing.
According to a Deborah J. Taub, a professor at the Purdue School of Education, viewer discretion should be recommended even for kids who are old enough to read and comprehend the books.
Taub says, "The movie is not the book." She was further quoted as saying by Teen Hollywood, "Reasearch has shown that movies are more frightening for children than the books. Besides the added visuals, sounds and a literally larger than life scope, movies also do not allow children the option of shutting the book and coming back later or skipping past a scary sequence."
