Well, I'd imagine the same cult who liked to hide penises and words like "sex" in almost every Disney film - probably had a hand in the making of the Harry Potter movies.
I read the first three books back when they first came out. They weren't bad. But these movies have definitely butchered the story. Money probably as well.
The author wrote the first three books on napkins when she was a lowly waitress - now she's raking in millions of dollars. When her think tank/agents told her to put in a sex scene, I am sure she couldn't refuse the money in exchange.
Sad that they are trying to make young kids grow up so fast. Condition them into being superficial and afraid.

No, don't be sorry that you brought this up. Children's entertainment needs to be discussed.
I haven't seen any of the movies nor read any of the books, but from what you describe, it seems ultra freaky that the scene has the other boy looking on. Voyeurism and children shouldn't be mixed together in my opinion.

Regarding children's entertainment in general, I agree with the posters who mention Disney and other producers who are masters at riding the fine line between acceptable and inappropriate.
I feel that much of what children are exposed to now in the form of entertainment has a lot to do with desensitization so that adult themes are pushed towards them before they should actually be learning about them. But, this is just my two cents. Most would consider me a prude, but I see nothing wrong with children's magic having nothing to do with the magic adults experience.
