Nice pic,nice pic:)good early xmas gift XD but i have to agree about the school robes thing,it’s clear in the books that in hogwarts they never wear muggle clothes.anyway his hair is way more better then in ootp(though i think it’s still a bit too short:P)

The hair istill still shorter than the POA hair and in my opinion that was the best hair, just the right length for Harry. But this one’s not so bad. Dan looks very handsome in it. It’s short but remember that the OotPhair was the shortest of them all and yet the movie is the second highest grossing HP film. The non book fans must not care about Harry’s supposedly messy hair so much.

I’m sorry, but am I the only one who is not too thrilled with the pic. It’s soooo blah, so boring! It’s Harry, standing, holding some books. We’ve seen that every film thus far. I think they could have given us something a little cooler for the first promotional pic…

I think that bright thing on the left is a window. which means he just came from outside. probably walking into a classroom, maybe potions…....?? just a guess.

Great pic! Of course it’s exciting, it’s the first HBP pic!! and he is holding the book! and he is hot! what more do you need? :D

I feel the same dg_4ever, I can’t believe we’ve already seeing the fist HBP pic! It seems it was just yesterday when I saw the first pic of a 10 years old Daniel as Harry, promoting the first movie…. and just some months ago I was watching OotP and reading HBP

It makes you realize how they don’t stop working. For example, Dan was making interviews to promote OotP until some weeks ago, and then, he has already been several months filming HBP. Am I the only one who thinks that crazy? And David Yates who has just finished OotP and now the next one…

Like always, I suppose we have to talk about the hair… well, I think it looks great! My favorite so far. It’s longer than in OotP, you have to be blind if you don’t notice that, and it’s the same length and style than PoA, which is most people favorite, so don’t try to search an excuse to criticize, because this is what you all wanted!! Btw it makes him look younger than in OotP, which is good I think.

I imagined the book to be bigger, but now I see it I think it makes sense. If it was a big book, Snape would have noticed it sooner and the plot wouldn’t be realistic.

To bad they wont grow out his hair again. The long messy hair is so canon I wish they could atleast stick to that.
