Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets

A character is bitten by a snake and stabs the snake. The snake's eyes are clawed out by a bird. There is also some magical duelling. A man is hit on the head with a rock.

There are some scary scenes, including a sequence in which people are pursued by large spiders.

There is use of mild bad language, including 'bloody'.

There is some sight of blood after characters are wounded.

Adult characters drink alcohol.

There are scenes of mild horror and violence but all are clearly presented in a fantasy setting, which is likely to be familiar to children who know of, or have read, the books. Very brief sight of blood is sometimes seen after characters are injured in fights with magical creatures, but any injuries are quickly healed.

There is some tension and a handful of 'jump' moments in the roller-coaster style adventure story, but such scenes are over relatively quickly, and involve familiar characters. The strongest moments include a scene in which good characters are threatened by a sinister spider that traps them and intends to kill them. This scene has the potential to alarm younger viewers, or those who are already scared of spiders.

The film contains some mild language including uses of 'bloody', 'what the devil', 'hell' and 'ruddy' - occasionally by child characters.
