My son is 10, is it time for him to start 'Harry Potter' movies? And what order do they come in?

he's not 2 young. none r 4 potter books n films. go ahead. it's all ok n good values..lucky it's not some chunked up teen flick n some spoilt brat acting in it.

daniel&emma r good well behaved teens.

If he's been sheltered from these types of shows all his life it will come as a shock. Some of them have some pretty scary characters and scenes.

My son is 9 and he hates Harry Potter...won't watch it...so every kid is different.

If you think he is emotionally ready then fine, otherwise he may just end up having nightmares even at 10. The first one isn't too bad, but as they progress those fictional characters can be a little frightening.

I think 10 is a great age to see the Harry Potter movies. The order of the movies are...HP and the Sorcerer's Stone, HP and the Chamber of Secrets, HP and the Prison of Azkaban, HP and the Goblet of Fire. My granddaughter is 10 and loves all of them. Her personal favorite is the Prisoner of Azkaban, but in July, HP and the Order of the Phoenix will be coming out. They do get "darker" as they go along, but a 10 year old knows about death, so it shouldn't bother him. There may be a scene or two that might make him jump, but even in a Disney movie, there are scenes that can do that. My husband and I love the HP movies and watch them with our grandchildren.

The Harry Potter movies are an explanation of an author who writes about sorcery. While the books and film are popular doesn't make them appropriate for youths. It appears that this venue takes children into a fantasy that they may believe to be accurate, when in fact it is a world of such non-sense. It is truly fiction and not unlike many books or movies, tends to instill in our youth that what they see or read is for real.

Your question suggests that you are force feeding your child. Has he shown any interest in the Harry Potter stories himself? He surely cannot be unaware of them as some of his school friends will be fans already. At ten, your son is old enough to be consulted as to whether or not he would like to see one of the films. You can watch one at home together so that he feels safe if need be. All fairy tales are good for helping children understand difficult things that happen in life. Allow your son the chance to choose.

10 is already too old, children as old as 5 start watching harry potter. the movies are made for children below 12.

my daughter is 12 and before I even let her watch the movies me and her spend time together reading the books together. i wented to make sure she understood what was going on and made sure she was going to get scared. once she saw the movies she feel in love with them and she can't wait until july 13th for the new harry potter movies to come out. it would be better to start him off with the books first and if you went try to make it family time together. there are websites out there that you can check out too if you need more information. here are a couple of links that might help.

of course... he can go ahead and watch them.. he's too young to read anyway..

But let me tell you the books are way better than the movies.. i always made sure that i have read the books before the movies come out and spoil all the fun.

So if you want your son to get the real fun, let him read the books first.. they are just BEWITCHING! The reader cant just put them down.

But if your son is too young to read or something he can always watch the movies.

i watch them with my whole family including my siblings. and the youngest one is 6.

As for the movies.. the order is as above..

and have fun.. i am sure all of you will enjoy Harry Potter!!

Melly Flutter nailed the bullseye. I wholeheartedly agree with her assessment...and execution. The gift of time is a concept radically losing ground in these western societies we live in.

Spending time with your son is far more important than the nature of what he reads and views. When mom and dad regularly sit and read with their son...sit and watch with their son...laugh and play with their son...the ties that bind you all strengthen in ways you won't understand for decades. But somewhere in the future he will tell you with fondness of the best times of his childhood...and you may just find his fondest memories have nothing to do with material gift giving...and are replete with the gift of time you gave him.

Such a powerful thing..this concept...so integral to the moral and spiritual development of your son...so very potent when you spend that time exploring new things and ideas and places.....together.

Peace and blessings be upon you and yours.

And enjoy the Harry Potter series.

1. Sorcerer's Stone

2.Chamber Of Secrets

3.Prisoner Of Askaban

4.Goblet Of Fire

5.Order Of The Pheonix

I'm sure he will love them
