I do not have many “fangirl” moments (I usually keep them to myself) but prepare yourselves: Dan is striking! I like my Harry brooding and pensive :) Good point Molly Wobble- I see that the whole map is exposed. The photo plus the HBP synopsis- wow, so exciting!

“I’d love to see the School Uniforms, again. Other students were wearing them. in OOTP. How come the Trio (and “guests”) aren’t wearing them, all of a sudden?”

The trio WERE wearing their uniforms in OOTP, in the DA, in the DADA classroom scene, in the exam scene and a number of other times, when they aren’t wearing them it is out of school hours. Check the DVD.

Wow, still almost a year to go and already the first official pic, thanks WB. And thanks Leaky.

The pic looks great. And should prove that they won´t leave the darker stuff out f the movie. Harry looks quite serious, doesn´t he? Anyway, he looks really handsome and I am glad everyone seems to like the hair this time around. ;)

Anyway, I wonder when the WB might create their HBP websites. If we already get official pics, then it shouldn´t be too long. (yes, I know I am greedy). So how about a pic with DD and Harry in the cave? Harry and Ginny in wherever they were in that scene from the peek? Ron in Quiddtich uniform? :)

I am sure many of you ladies would agree with me, let’s hope that when Harry is not in uniform, they continure to costume him in those fitted t-shirts :) It is obvious that Dan works out… seems to have gotten warmer in my office all of a sudden..silly me, I can’t begin to imagine why :)

whoa, whoa, WHOA.

Romilda and the chocolate scene is IN?! YES! Oh my gawd, that’s one of the best moments in HBP!

Now, if they only kept the bit where Harry threw a Potter Stinks badge at Ron’s forehead in Goblet of Fire…

I think people want them in wizard robes because in the books they don’t wear muggle attire unless they are trying to blend into the muggle world. If the movies followed the books they would not be in muggle clothing. Of course Harry and Hermione wear them when they are home in the muggle world for summer break but other than that they only wear wizard robes. Ron and all the others wizards who do not go into the muggle world would never wear muggle attire especially Draco. I also think that in each move they wear muggle clothing more and more which strays from the book. But like someone else said if Jo is ok with it I guess I can be ok with it too.

Is anyone else having issues with the Leaky Galleries? I haven’t been able to get them to work for me in a while. The page loads and at the bottom it says “done but with errors on the page.” So the page loads, but I can’t see the picture or the video or whatever it is I’m trying to excess. Maybe there’s wrong with my computer???

MICHELE, I hate to blow your bubble, but the books clearly say, that the adult wizards wear robes, but their kids often wear muggle clothing. I believe that this is written in GOF, but it could also be COS. (although you’re probably right about draco, but even in the movies he looks more wizard-like than the others.)

I think he’s staring at Malfoy because Harry is obsessed with Malfoy in the 6th book. The Potions book looks great. I’m really excited about this film, more than I have been since the 3rd one.

I love the little cauldron illustration on the book! This is a very nice picture.

Also, I was really amused to see people wondering when Leaky would put up a new countdown – that was my very first thought!
