To expect the after-school club not to show Star Wars and Harry Potter to 5 year olds

Genuine question - how would you feel if your 5 year old had been able to watch these films without your supervision?

DH picked up DS earlier and was a bit taken aback to find he'd watched a bit of Star Wars (not sure which one - I know some are U but some are PG). Okay for the older kids but surely what a 5 year old watches should be left up to the parents?

We're more concerned about him being able to watch something like Harry Potter to be honest as DS is already a bit of a nightmare at home, not wanting to be in a different room from anyone else - scares very easily. Really could do without him getting even more frightened of his own shadow.

What would your reaction be?

Thanks for all the replies.

To be honest I think DH is more concerned that DS isn't introduced to the whole world of Star Wars without him being there to watch it too. Also he'd really like to read the Harry Potter books with DS before he sees the films.

I think I'll just ask what the after school club's policy is re showing films, and request that they keep an eye on DS if he's watching something in case he gets frightened.

He'll only be in one day a week from now on anyway, seeing as I've just finished work to go on maternity leave.
