    Thats funny. We caught the trailer before "The Corpse Bride" and when the trailer started my 5 yr old daughter, who loves the first three films, said, "I want to see this." at the end of the trailer she was ghost white and said, "I don't want to see it". This film does look intense.

    It probably is a good idea for other parents to see the PG-13 film first so they can advise their kids if they are still curious, but scared.

    I saw an article today that interviewed the screenwriter about the darker, more intense nature of this film (including the PG-13 rating). I liked his statement that they felt that after spending nearly 4 full movies leading up to finally showing Voldemort, they felt that he couldn't turn out to be Wallace Shawn...

    The last film I saw on IMAX was Fantasia/2000. I can't wait to see another film on IMAX. It's so different from a regular screen. I can't wait!

    I am not seeing it in IMAX either but my kids are driving me crazy counting down the days. We will probably not be able to see it until Thanksgiving weekend because we have so much going on this week. ;(

    They did pan and scan a couple of the early IMAX conversions of 35mm films (mainly "Apollo 13" and "Star Wars Episode 2") as well as editing them if they were over 2 hours. They have now switched to letterboxing films to their proper aspect ratio and have also created an updated platter projector system that eliminates the need for any editing.

    It is pretty certain that "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" will be presented uncut and in its correct aspect ratio in the IMAX presentations.
