Why would you get shot for that? 
It's up to parents to make the decision and if you thought he was mature enough to watch it and understand that it's just pretend then why not? 
All the brooding about in the woods was a little much, lol.
she did watch it only to tell me she hadnt watched the one before (because i thought it was to scary, i forgot stupid pregnancy brain lol) sooo were going to watch them all from the beginning lol x
I actually thought it was a bit boring
For a 9 yr old to watch harry potter (including the new one) if they dont scare easily and they no it's all fake then i dont see why not.
And Sabby52. . .OzziesHunnie is right, if you think he was mature enough and understood it wasn't real then why would you get shot for it
It is for the parents to decide, each child is different, with me, mine is 4 and he's seen Harry Potter up to Order of the Pheonix however i will not allow him to watch half blood prince and the new deathly hallows, as i see them as too dark, i mean what happens to dumbledore in half blood prince is horrifying and he adores dumbledore so i dont my LO is ready for that one yet, theres alot of dark scenes in Askaban (i can't spell lol) and goblet of fire and order of the pheonix, and really only got away with those because he watches them but he doesn't watch them, he tends to have them on watch them properly for 5 -6 mins then he'll play with toys and keep looking back at the T.v and not really pay attention so i guess i'm lucky with that
But Dec is a wee werido, the Dementors scare him a little and he will run and hide behind a door but then he will say "they're not real" and laugh but when one comes on again he will run behind the door again 
If I say lets move away from this part he will say "no I love the dementors, they are not scary" 
What a cutie, Sabby! By the way, Declan was one of my top choices for a little boy's name, but DH shot me down 
lol My eldest son choose the name Declan, we told him if he was getting a new brother then he could pick the name
