Question

How would I cite the film ratings of the Harry Potter series for an MLA formatted paper?

I could not find them online (surprisingly), so I got them off the back of the DVDs themselves.

Answer 1

The film itself?? Is the rating of the film on the back of the DVD? Look at this and see if it helps. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/09/

Answer 2

Sorry, I should have been more specific.
The age rating- G, PG, PG-13, and so on. I used the actual warning for the given rating, and yes, they're off the back of the DVD case.

Example:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2
PG-13: Some sequences of intense action violence and frightening images

I don't know if I actually -have- to cite it, but since I'm using it as evidence towards my argument...

Answer 3

Well if you are just using the ratings then I don't think you have to cite it. According to the rules, you don't have to cite something that is common knowledge. That is definitely common knowledge; anybody can find out the rating of a movie.

Answer 4

Oh, I didn't know that!

Thank you so much!

Answer 5

You're welcome, no problem. :)
