THE VOW
This work was passed with no cuts made.
Extended Classification Information
'The Vow' is a romantic drama, based on true events, about a woman who wakes from a
coma following a car crash with no memory of her husband. The film contains an accident
scene and moderate injury detail.
In an early dramatic scene, the couple are inside their car waiting at a stop sign when a truck
crashes into them from behind. The accident scene is shown in slow-motion and there is
considerable focus on the moment of impact, with the woman being thrust head first through
the windscreen. After the windscreen smashes, we see the woman unconscious in hospital
with a deep bloody wound on her forehead. This occurs in a contemporary and realistic
context which younger viewers might find upsetting.
The film also contains some natural nudity when we see a husband walking out of the
bathroom naked.
It also features some mild sex references, for example a wife telling her husband that "A girl
is guaranteed to get pregnant if she has sex in a car".
There is some mild bad language, with single uses of 'shit' and 'bullshit'.
No-one younger than 12 may see a '12A' film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult.
No-one younger than 12 may rent or buy a '12' rated video or DVD. Responsibility for
allowing under-12s to view lies with the accompanying or supervising adult.

2. HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS - PART 1
This work was passed with no cuts made.
Extended Classification Information
'Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - Part 2' is the final film in the series about the young wizard
and his friends, Ron and Hermione. The three friends return to Hogwarts where they prepare for a
final showdown against Voldemort. The film contains moderate threat, injury detail and language.
Like the first part of this series finale, this film is also quite dark and there is a sense of threat
throughout.A number of familiar characters are shown in danger, and some of them are injured or
even killed in the various battles that take place. However, the sense of threat is moderate rather
than strong, and disturbing sequences are not frequent or sustained. There are some sad moments,
particularly when familiar characters are killed, but these scenes are handled sensitively. It is also
likely that many viewers will already be familiar with the story from the books, reducing the impact of
these events.
The violence is generally quite undetailed. There are large-scale battle scenes in which blood is
visible on the clothes of the injured and dead afterwards, but without clear injury detail. A stronger
sequence occurs when Voldemort orders the murder of a key character, leading to them being
repeatedly bitten by a snake. We hear the attack rather than seeing it, but there is quite a lot of
blood on the victim's neck and on the wall behind him afterwards. There is no close-up injury detail
or clear sight of injuries being inflicted. Another gory moment occurs when Harry enters a dreamlike
world and sees a bloody foetus-like creature, which is clearly not human. It is only shown briefly and
Dumbledore speaks to Harry about it, reassuring him and reducing any potentially distressing effect
on younger viewers.
The film also includes a single and aggressively directed use of language - the word 'bitch' - during
a fight scene, and uses of milder terms such as 'bloody' and 'bloody hell'.
No-one younger than 12 may see a '12A' film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult. No-one
younger than 12 may rent or buy a '12' rated video or DVD. Responsibility for allowing under-12s to
view lies with the accompanying or supervising adult.
The film is also available in 3D and some younger children may find this a more intense experience.
