Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix —
Families can talk about the movies' increasingly mature themes as Harry grows into a full-blown adolescent. Do you think Harry and his friends act and feel like real teenagers? How does what they're going through reflect some of the same issues real teens face? Why is Harry so angry? Also, even though this movie and the last one are rated PG-13, they're heavily marketed to younger kids -- is that OK? Are the later movies too scary for little kids? Is it easier to watch if you've read the books and know what happens? Potterheads: What parts of the book were best depicted in the film? What got left out that you would have included? What scenes included heavy foreshadowing of things to come?
