I am so glad that these pictures were sent to us, but you have to agree, the pictures do look somewhat werid!!!


Posted by AmandaB Jul 23rd 2008

Wow, I feel so spoiled. That WONDERFUL teaser trailer, AND these pictures? Woah, WB, you're incredible.


Posted by Abergoat Jul 23rd 2008

These look horrible.


Posted by addicted_2_hp Jul 23rd 2008

Lol at AmandaB. You said it... Dan looks like he is in his early 20's in one of the pics. And he is always so akward in his pictures. He needs Trya Banks. xD


Posted by browncoat Jul 24th 2008

The Graphic Design for these images is shockingly awful.


Posted by viikka Jul 24th 2008

When I saw these I thought I would be the only one who thinks these pics are just plain horrible. I'm so glad I'm not. It's sad that someone will pay something for those stickers and even collect them. WB or whoever made these should find some better grafic designers.


Posted by viikka Jul 24th 2008

by the way... couldn't these pictures (of Harry and Ron) be from the same photoshoot than OtPs promo pictures. They're not the exact pics but they do look very much the same.


Posted by bEtHyBoP13 Jul 24th 2008

I'm not usually the kind of person to say things like this but.. what in the name of the wee man happened to Ron's hair in that pic??? Lol I find it kind of funny :]


Posted by bEtHyBoP13 Jul 24th 2008

I'm not saying I don't like them or anything though, they're great! They make me laugh a lot. Especially the one with Dumbledore and the Sorting Hat. He looks a bit gormless like he's been sleepwalking and suddenly stumbled across this huge hat..idk, I think that could be a funny Caption Contest pic :P


Posted by JaySlytherinGirl Jul 24th 2008

*sigh* how unexciting...


Posted by harry_p_7 Jul 24th 2008

.... seriously whats happening to WB? first the trailer now this?! im starting to get scared.. what if the movie is worse than the trailer AND these pics put together!! its starting to seem so.. and... wheres hermione?


Posted by Padfoot777 Jul 24th 2008

Yeah, Dumbledore does look like he has been sleep walking, but one thing bothers me, what are his glasses!?


Posted by hedwighummer Jul 24th 2008

Unregistered_Animagus, how true. I didn't notice it until now, but now the vacant scowl is bugging me. But it wouldn't be nearly as bad if they didn't put Dan and his vacant scowl on a cheesy background and make him glow. Ah, well, at least it's something.


Posted by viikka Jul 24th 2008

Hey Padfoot777, I hadn't even noticed before that somewhere between PoA and GoF Dumbledores glasses have mystically vanished. Maybe he had laser surgery done or something :)


Posted by the_patronus_seeker Jul 24th 2008

I think we're going back to SS movie stuff now. Its looks a little awkward, unauthentic, and cheesy but at least we're getting a movie!


Posted by JM_Potter Jul 24th 2008

I'm sorry but th actual pictures are crap! Harry Potter and a Gryffindor Scarf


Posted by Willowrose Jul 24th 2008

I want that scarf! I've been wanting a Gryffindor scarf for a while now but yet to get one. :/ I guess I'll make that my big HP buy for HBP!! :)


Posted by CFplayer19 Jul 24th 2008

they are kinda dumb!!!


Posted by Godric_83 Jul 24th 2008

why does harry look constipated in almost every pic, and it looks more like an advertisement for the clothes/products then promotional pics for the movie.


Posted by Osaka Jul 24th 2008

Uh, maybe I just never notice before, but does Ron ALWAYS hold his want so inelegantly? He's got it in a pretty embarrassing stranglehold in that last image. . . Come on. Show that wand some respect, Mr. Weasley.


Posted by free23allie Jul 24th 2008

Weirdest pics yet!!!! Ron's hair makes him look like a girl. Dumbledore looks already dead. And the pic with bellatrix looks like it was from the 5th movie!!! lol


Posted by angelina_johnson92 Jul 24th 2008

I'm glad they have some marketing stuff out, but it's way too much, especially with that sticker book. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan but I don't think I would buy that. I agree that they look really awkward, but I do have to say that Ron looks pretty good. :p

Posted by dont_look_down Jul 24th 2008

So like um, is harry attacking the cloak?? I dont think this is WB's fault about the lack of material, more David Yates, we didnt have to wait this long with the previous directors, and afaik they havent changed marketing/selling directors? Hopefully we'll have a full fledged trailer within the next week!


Posted by amy4dan1327 Jul 24th 2008

some of the pics are pretty good, i guess!!! i want a cloak and a scarf to wear!!! =]


Posted by BlackKat Jul 24th 2008

Harry is missing a hand in the pic of him with the cloak. :P I wish Dumbledore wore a deep purple robe instead of grey :( I think he'd look alot better.


Posted by beccaboo Jul 24th 2008

i would like to have the count down to the hbp movie on my computer. is there a way to so that?


Posted by bradthewizard Jul 24th 2008

The one with Bellatrix was AWESOME! did anyone else notice thatin the picture of Harry with the gryffindor cloak, Harry only has one hand?!


Posted by alexxx Jul 24th 2008

angelina_johnson92 : i completely agree with you 100%. harry potter is not for sticker books okay, thats like winnie the pooh, or barbie. and yes, everythings awkward


Posted by ryroandhobo Jul 24th 2008

i know i shouldn't... but MAN THESE WERE HILARIOUS. they looked too... forced and just unnatural. ewwwww it was so awkward but sososos funny ^^


Posted by flibbertigibbit Jul 24th 2008

now i understand why people see harry potter as "lame" sometimes...


Posted by aguamenti8 Jul 24th 2008

hahaha. these are hilariously terrible. what's up with dan's hair?


Posted by ekspresis Jul 24th 2008

lol someone's been using MS Paint


Posted by phoenix_flames_ Jul 24th 2008

none of these pictures are at all good... :S awkward and very unflattering ones of Daniel in particular...also, all you boys reading this take note, most girls tend to like slightly longer hair than what Dan has here, he looks far hotter on goblet of fire :D


Posted by mmm_malfoy Jul 24th 2008

Why is harry casting spell at that poor cloak?!


Posted by hermy91 Jul 24th 2008

atleast dumbledore's beard looks as white and long as it should be =]


Posted by sshuggi Jul 24th 2008

One thing they're failing to do is reveal his scar. It's been a very important part of many of the books, as well as being mentioned in the first couple of pages of the series. I don't see it in any of these pictures and many other.


Posted by MaiceyMay Jul 24th 2008

Wow that's radical....not. I agree that they do look kinda fakish and Rupert and Dan are NOT attractive here and they always are. Seriously a sticker book? Maybe I can give it to my 3 year old cousin and she can play with them and rip up the stickers and might also be fascinated by glowiness of them...Gesh....


Posted by gryffindor_gal_714 Jul 25th 2008

these are pretty corny


Posted by merry_sa Jul 25th 2008

I'm quite sick of that same pose where they're pointing the wand. Can't they try something else? !?!?!?


Posted by BlackKat Jul 25th 2008

Oh, why can't they make Harry's eyes look different from everyone elses. Isn't that a big part of the books and his relationship with a certain someone.


Posted by Dezz Jul 25th 2008

Is it just me or does Ron have the same hairstyle as Peppermint Patty from the "peanuts gang"? He really looks like a girl in those photos...and I agree with the rest of you who said that they were pretty cheesy advertisments. Its bad enough that I am 25 and LOVE HP...now those made me feel even more immature.


Posted by dracodragon Jul 28th 2008

Is it me or does Helena Bonham Carter look the exact same in the Harry Potter movies and in Sweeney Todd? It could be Bellatrix in the movie, I swear. Although, she kind of looks like that all the time :)
