and this isn’t too soon guys… the first official pics are always released a year before the film comes out… so we’re right on track… teaser trailer should be coming in march :) and this is a great pic though i have to admit, we’ve seen harry standing in a doorway many times before ;) exciting to see the potions book though!

Shameless fangirling here, but Harry (Dan, I mean) is looking really handsome there. Bring on more HBP promo pics, I say! Hopefully more Harry/Ginny scenes soon _

The red draping with the starry design, on the extreme left, would seem to be one of the four-poster hangings from the boys’ dormitory in Gryffindor Tower.

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!! YAY! First pic, Christmas came early, I have been whining and begging for some official something and here it is! Dan looks awesome, too, very intense, can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait! We need a countdown clock to torture ourselves with as we watch the seconds tick away oh, so slowly over the next (almost) year!!

About countdowns, The OotP one says it is Now Showing, yet it has been out of the cinemas for months.

“When are they going to put them back in school uniforms instead of mufti ???”

Here we go again. They DO wear their robes during school hours but when they are not in school hours they wear normal clothes. They wear robes and school uniforms quite often during POA, GOF and OOTP just not every blinking scene like in the first two films which I found unrealistic – I have never been able to get why this is a big deal, and if Jo had a problem with it she would tell them.

I could be wrong but I often think that those people who seem to romanticise the wearing of uniforms and school robes are the ones who never had to wear them, lol.

Guess That Book

"Harry! I've been wanting a word -- you don't mind if he's a couple of minutes late, do you, Professor Sprout?"[br]Judging by Professor Sprout's scowl, she did mind, but Lockhart said, "That's the ticket," and closed the green house door in her face.
