Phoenixknighter: Don't bring Dan's hotdog into this....it's very hot, yes *blushes* but it's no reason to laugh. I bet loads of people on the site have seen Equus!
Wow, I really like these. Thanks for posting.
@mlc872 Considering that it says "Harry Potter AND the Half-Blood Prince" I doubt people will think that is it Harry-- No one thought he was the Prisoner of Azkaban in HP3... You're issue with that part of the poster is complete tripe. And the same can be said for Dumbledore... Anyone that knows of the story line, knows that that is Dumbledore the Headmaster of Hogwarts. I suppose if someone is so far from the HP world that they could not figure this out would not be seeing the movie, or care about the poster. And I also think putting the Snape on the poster would not be the best of ideas... Snape as a character does not evoke any type of positive reaction. He is a man who repels people and interest-- wouldn't be the best marketing ploy of WB to use him on posters meant to create hype. In any case, I think Poster 2 (Harry brandishing his wand) is the best of the lot. I wouldn't mind if that were released for retail purchase. :)
i know sorry DeathlyH, i just had to say it, lol. At least you girls have something to blush about.. when will Emma make us guys blush??? lol
Phoenixknighter: Yeah, if Dan (Equus) and Rupert (Cherrybomb) can do it, why not Emma? Then the trio can be sex symbols for EVERYONE! Alan Rickman is sexy too, lol. But yeah, Equus is amazing. I'm jealous of ilovedan, I'd see it again, but not just for him! XD
Yeah... good catch hermione93 (I think?)-- Where is Harry's scar? It is not visible in any of these posters-- and all the posters show different portions of his forehead... oh geez.
OMG I CANNOT WAIT!! These posters are amazing. Yea I agree with you guys about Dumbledore, he looks a lot like Gandalf/Santa, but w/e its cool. But I seriously have no idea whats up with Harry's shirt, at first i thought it was something small crawling....idk if thats too farfetched though.
Im unsure... Firstly I do think they're good promo posters overall but the HP6 is a little strange. OK, yeah it could be a nod in the direction of us fans, but then it looks out of place.. No scar, no black hand... and I think we should have some sort of new post opened for every to decide what is on Harry's front.... I think I see a head...
I think the image on his shirt is just light passing over wrinkles in his shirt. His shirt is wrinkled, and therefore is lighter in the places where it catches the light.... I wouldn't read too much into it.
they look realllllllly good!!! but i was hoping for once they'd actually put sumthing other than wands in the pictures...maybe some other magical object like the locket, or the pensieve or something??? but still- i can live with this!!
mousouchop- you're probably right, hey, I'm probably expecting a little too much lol krazykobra29- I think the same, in this book/film thee are loads of different objects, just like DH and yet they choose to stick the wands in again. Yeah fair enough wands are a big part but I wanna see some goodies! lol
Aftre looking very closely at the second poster, I can see that Harry is hiding the HBP's book in his shirt, that's what people are seeing!
Amazing! They definately have more of an epic feel, compared to the other ones. It would've been nice to see Snape in one of the posters though. After all, he IS the Half-Blood Prince.
Is it me or is there a image of Dumbledore dead on Harry's jacket in the 2nd poster...Maybe I'm just seeing things...
Interesting idea, CFplayer, but I don't see it.
What's with the snow, man? I like the first two of Dan, they're gorgeous photographs. Only thing is, the first one literally looks kind of gay. :P
Yeah, they are, Adriennecray. Dan is gorgeous!
somebody mentioned the lack of Harry's scar, and it's true! where is it? I really love these posters, especially the one with Dumbledore reflecting in Harry's glasses! But I find it kind of strange that in one of them it says HP6 instead of HBP. What is that? They've never done that before, have they? And yeah, I agree with everyone who thinks that Dumbledore looks like Santa Claus!
I like how it says HP6. I think it makes it look new and different from others.
YAYYY!!!!! I'm so excited! They all look AMAZING!!! I'm so excited right now! I just want to see the movie!!!!
Why are you calling them gay adriennecray... we already know Dumbledore is, lol.
WOOOO !!! Finally !!! ..... Ooooh getting that excited movie feel again as all the build up begins to start much more ! They look pretty good , only just saw them !

Phoenixknighter: XD You win! That was funny! :D
lmfao "HP6." They're getting lazy like the fans. :P I really like these posters, by the way.
nice! I'm going to buy one.... hmm, maybe not yet, because maybe some better posters will come out. but this is exciting!
I WANT A POSTER!
Alright, where's the poster with Snape on it? And where the hell are Dumbledore's glasses? I want to see the "Prince" !
There okay, but the style is bugging me a bit. I like the color and everything, but the diagonal composition is kind of annoying me. Also I wish that the one with Harry's eye(which I think is an amazing shot) would better if they spelled out "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" instead of just "HP6"
So, I may be to much of an LotR fan, but Dumbledore looks a LOT like Gandalf. The snow makes me think of when they are going through the mountains, avoiding Moria. And maybe it's just me, but both Dumbledores look pretty much the same. Are they perhaps the same picture?
phoenixknighter: A little advice; click the 'Post comment' button once and wait. ;)
OK am I the only one who thinks they need a poster with..oh I dont know...Snape?? He is after all the Half-Blood Prince!!! I love these posters but they should have done one with Dumbledore and Harry and one with Snape and Draco. I really hope they make one with snape....and I hope Hot Topic makes Snape shirts this time around...
I like that they put HP6, except that the 6 looks retarded.
Awesome!!!! My favorite is definately the one where Dumbledore is reflected back in Harry's glasses. It made me kind of sad... but OMG!!!! I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :]
I think they're rather ugly. I liked those HBP ones before, of H, R, and H in the common room and the burrow... lol and I think bill and fleur's wedding should DEFINITELY be in deathly hallows...that would be devastating if it wasn't.
well, ... FINALLY!!!!!!!! ..... the first one was the best!
I looooove the first one! hermione93, the scar is there, his hair is covering most of it but you can see it in the HS pics, :)
I'm pretty sure the scar is there, it's just hard to see with the sort of blue/black/white coloring. I think it's above his left eyebrow (our right.) At least I think it's the scar because it is quite a bit straighter than his hair. (All this being on the first one.)
ok chommy i'll try that because i'm not posting twice or thrice on purpose, lol! (unless if i'm really angry hehe)
These are pretty B.A.
omg! it's soo awesome... NOW I'm really getting excited. I like the second and third .. even though the first one's different it's kind of takki... But WB can do better. But I like that they have a new feeling in them.... like grednforge7. w.e can't wait 4 the movie.
Is this worthy of a new MuggleCast? I don't like how they did "6" in the first one for some reason. What's up with all the snow?
Omg! I don't really like the one of Dumbledore he looks...different somehow...you know? Maybe it's because of his hat or something, I dunno. I like that Harry/dumbledore-reflecti on one. "Once again Harry, I am asking to much of you". Aw! I LOVE REMUS LUPIN.
Wow, these are amazing! I think I've swooned for the last three hours over them. My favorite is the reflection one, but they are all really awesome. What's great about these ones is that they aren't like the posters of the previous movies (Harry standing front and center in some generic pose, Ron looking scared, Hermione looking intense, generic spacy wizard background). I want one in my room so bad! Will definitely buy one when the become available.
FINALLY! I HAVEN'T EVEN LOOKED AT THEM YET!!!!! AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
OMG! I love the posters! They are amazing! I have no reason to complain.... I'm a huge fan, but I'm not going crazy over EVERY LITTLE MISTAKE!!!! Jeesh! And Dumbledore's Hand... Here's my theory, to ease your panicked minds: We actually see Dumbledore's hand get wounded. Remember one of the trailers (the first one) we see Dumbledore picking up a ring and putting it on, and then flinching and dropping the ring and then Voldemort pops up?? Don't worry; Dumbledore's hand will die. And the "HP6.." Grow up. It looks fine that way, and no one died because they didn't spell out "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." These posters were great and I can't wait until the movie comes out!
WHOA! I love them. My favorite is the one with Harry and Dumbledore in his glasses. AAAAAHHHHHH!!!! I'm excited!!!! One of these will probably be my desktop soon!!
Agreed, kooldude10694! I loved the first one! And that Dumbledore line is AWESOME!
AWESOME! NUMBER 100! Um. yeah, the 6 looks wierd because we've never seen a 6 in the "Harry Potter " font.
