    Hi all. Possibly a stupid question, but can i bring my 5 year old to a 12A Movie? It's just that his 12 year old cousin is staying with us and wants to see a movie in the cinema. Thanks

    That's the BBFC. You'll need to check the Irish film censor site. But I'm pretty sure the same rule applies here.

    as long as you explain some things to him in context and if he gets too emotional about some scenes, that you are prepared to take him out to the lobby, or cut the movie short, definitely. If it's Harry Potter I'd just brace him that there's a lot of
    wizards fighting and some characters might die
    but i think it should be grand :)

    The only thing that I'd consider unsuitable for a 5 year old for Harry Potter is there's a scene where
    a snake kills someone. You don't see it clearly (our vantage point is behind some misted-up glass), but you can make out the deadly strikes' motion and accompanying thuds.

    Thanks all. He loved it. maybe he was high on sweets or something, but he didn't make a fuss at all.
