Age 12+
The intense, intense, intense intent has a lot of violence in witchcraft.
"Fantastic Beasts: The Crims of Grindelwald "- the second movie in the series" Fantastic beasts and where to find them "(all these are precursors to Harry Potter films) – is quite intense. It has even more violence than the previous movie, with the death of the characters, wounds, magic battles, and a lot of mass destruction. <br /> <br /> Founded in 1927, the film focuses on the author of Hogwarts Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), when the dangerous wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) escapes and gathers them Professor Dumbledore (Jude Law), much younger, asks Newt to intervene. These characters may be adults, but apart from their tendency to enter into danger and magic duels, they are quite in love: there is only a little beer (butter) and cuddling and a clear lack of curse (Ron Weasley swore more than they do!) And the themes of the story of courage and teamwork but the dark tone of the movie and the battles may be too much for younger Potterheads. (134 minutes)

Expect your occasional strong language (including "f —", "b —-", "s —", etc.) and some references to alcohol consumption and drug addiction There are comic and serious accidents (with little result blood) When a pedophile is beaten, playing for laughing, as well as some unrealistic / unrealistic reasons for the supporting characters for which they want to be encouraged / adopted – which could upset some families. The pedophile subplot is not an important one, but involves an older (though young) man who takes up a teenager, eventually promoting the family and persevering love unconditional retirement and claims that children from extremely difficult circumstances are still children who deserve love and chance to flourish.

Characters are beaten and threatened (including a rifle), there is a fistfight, and two people are picked up after being caught up in sexual activities (nothing sensible). There is also a bit of language (including "s —" and word n-word) and drinking / smoking.
