Claire These really don't look official...they look fanmade. I say this because every single one uses pictures that were previously released, and usually new photos are used for the posters. Hmmm Also, the one of Dumbledore's Army is one of the pages in the Poster Book.

radcakesfan Nah, they look all real to me. I would like to see Dan/Harry doing a different pose, like that behind the scenes pic of him playing with the tip of his wand in his mouth (!) (from one of the other movies) but then the canonists would all be saying he's gonna blow up his mouth with the wand and Harry wouldn't do that blahblahblah. Eh, at least he looks good,also Emma and Luna-chick. The others, well...not a great photo of them.

Libby Err, I'm glad these aren't photoshopped to the hilt, but I get the SLIGHTEST feeling that WB was like "okay, so they don't like us over-doing the photoshop- so why don't we UNDER-DO it?" I mean, they're posters, right? Not just a background and pictures. Only one that isn't too bad is the trio. The rest aren't very good, I'm sorry, WB. :)

sarah Maybe Dan did his back out or something and that was the only pose he was comfortable doing... :-)

Kristen Yeah, I agree that these don't look very official.

Ronian I'm pretty sure these would be the wall posters that you can buy at like, WalMart. I buy one for each movie and frame it then put it on my wall!

sarah I was going to say that I would have thought that for Amazon to be selling them (as this post sort of makes out) that they would be kosher. However, my limited knowledge of German tells me that they are not being sold by Amazon, they are being sold by 1art1 GmbH and the rest of the posters in the shop don't look any better IMO.

sarah I have just realised, all the stuff in that sellers shop looks extremly like the poster stalls we have at uni occasionally. They sell them for 5 for £5 so 5.99 Euros (approx £4) for one is a tad... steep.

Chris I've liked most of the posters so far except for the over-photoshopping but I must say these set of posters are just plain horrible. I guess the advertising money dedicated to posters has run out now.

Solo The Voldemort and deatheaters and the trio and Voldy look good. The DA one isn't so hot and Dan looks really wimpy for some reason in the others. Maybe the pose?

Adriano Borges totally fan made posters =/

oliphant under-photoshopping doesn't mean bad design! apart from the total lack of concept (unlike those cool orb posters we saw that featured opposing duos), they look really bad. the trio's facial expressions aren't quite consistent, especially with ron nonchantly folding his arms without a pointing wand! the placement of everything is really random, and the lighting is shot. it looks more like a fan made banner below a forum post.

fizzingwhizbee give Ron a *bleeping* WAND!!! It's very annoying hearing all the actors/producers/directors praising how mature and emotionally deep the characters are becoming, and Ron's character is just the kid in the back with the funny face. rant over. =/

Carebie I like the over all design of the Trio poster with Volde, I thought that was awesome, oh and look Harry has a visable scar. YAY! Finally we see it in a poster, Definitely like this one!

Carebie By the way are they making enough posters? Seems to be a lot of them about... Not saying its bad, cause we are getting a few good ones out of the deal, just a lot of posters

Guess That Book

Even Harry, who knew nothing about the different brooms, thought it looked wonderful. Sleek and shiny, with a mahogany handle, it had a long tail of neat, straight twigs and Nimbus Two Thousand written in gold near the top.
