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!


Posted by kershaw77 Feb 5th 2009

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


Posted by DeathlyH Feb 5th 2009

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


Posted by mousouchop Feb 5th 2009

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.


Posted by angelina_johnson92 Feb 5th 2009

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.


Posted by slytherin_vix_88 Feb 5th 2009

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...


Posted by mousouchop Feb 5th 2009

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.


Posted by krazykobra29 Feb 5th 2009

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!!


Posted by slytherin_vix_88 Feb 5th 2009

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


Posted by DeathlyH Feb 5th 2009

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!


Posted by PotterYay Feb 5th 2009

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.


Posted by CFplayer19 Feb 5th 2009

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...


Posted by DeathlyH Feb 5th 2009

Interesting idea, CFplayer, but I don't see it.


Posted by adriennecray Feb 5th 2009

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


Posted by DeathlyH Feb 5th 2009

Yeah, they are, Adriennecray. Dan is gorgeous!


Posted by hermyluvr Feb 5th 2009

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!


Posted by MousieButtons Feb 5th 2009

I like how it says HP6. I think it makes it look new and different from others.


Posted by iwantorlando05 Feb 5th 2009

YAYYY!!!!! I'm so excited! They all look AMAZING!!! I'm so excited right now! I just want to see the movie!!!!


Posted by phoenixknighter Feb 5th 2009

Why are you calling them gay adriennecray... we already know Dumbledore is, lol.


Posted by Twin_of_Ron Feb 5th 2009

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 !


Posted by Twin_of_Ron Feb 5th 2009

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 !


Posted by DeathlyH Feb 5th 2009

Phoenixknighter: XD You win! That was funny! :D


Posted by ginmo Feb 5th 2009

lmfao "HP6." They're getting lazy like the fans. :P I really like these posters, by the way.


Posted by i_am_hermione Feb 5th 2009

nice! I'm going to buy one.... hmm, maybe not yet, because maybe some better posters will come out. but this is exciting!


Posted by Slytherin15 Feb 5th 2009

I WANT A POSTER!


Posted by Snapealicious Feb 5th 2009

Alright, where's the poster with Snape on it? And where the hell are Dumbledore's glasses? I want to see the "Prince" !


Posted by hp4747 Feb 5th 2009

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"


Posted by ArwenUndomiel Feb 5th 2009

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?


Posted by chommy Feb 5th 2009

phoenixknighter: A little advice; click the 'Post comment' button once and wait. ;)


Posted by BellatrixCrucioYou Feb 5th 2009

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...


Posted by ajrome Feb 5th 2009

I like that they put HP6, except that the 6 looks retarded.


Posted by hpintwense06 Feb 5th 2009

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :]


Posted by jojoinpink54 Feb 5th 2009


Posted by jojoinpink54 Feb 5th 2009

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.


Posted by bookworm_g Feb 5th 2009

well, ... FINALLY!!!!!!!! ..... the first one was the best!


Posted by quidditchplayer Feb 5th 2009

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, :)


Posted by ArwenUndomiel Feb 5th 2009

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.)


Posted by phoenixknighter Feb 5th 2009

ok chommy i'll try that because i'm not posting twice or thrice on purpose, lol! (unless if i'm really angry hehe)


Posted by xgetxfreex Feb 5th 2009

These are pretty B.A.


Posted by HPBESTEVER_clau_pink Feb 5th 2009

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.


Posted by pickles27 Feb 5th 2009

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?


Posted by Remuslupinismylover Feb 5th 2009

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.


Posted by malteselover Feb 5th 2009

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.


Posted by kooldude10694 Feb 5th 2009

FINALLY! I HAVEN'T EVEN LOOKED AT THEM YET!!!!! AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!


Posted by Fia Feb 5th 2009

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!


Posted by kooldude10694 Feb 5th 2009

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!!


Posted by Fia Feb 5th 2009

Agreed, kooldude10694! I loved the first one! And that Dumbledore line is AWESOME!


Posted by kooldude10694 Feb 5th 2009

AWESOME! NUMBER 100! Um. yeah, the 6 looks wierd because we've never seen a 6 in the "Harry Potter " font.
