Looks like the GOF (bleh) poster. At least it’s Dumbledore and Harry.

Such a pity it’s not real :-( Saw it yesterday and it was so moving I almost cried!

I’ve been telling people it’s fake for days and no one would believe me! So thanks TLC! it’s a nice poster though.

Well, it looks really nice. No wonder people mistook it for a real one – I would’ve done that for sure. But the tagline, it’s just… I know this is fake and all, but if they mess up the line “I’m not worried Harry, I’m with you” in the actual film then I’m going to be seriously mad at the scriptwriters. That’s the only thing that made me doubt this poster, the tagline “I’m safe tiwh you. Harry.” I dont want something like that in the actual thing. Please WB, don’t do something like that.

I haven’t seen it. But I expect, we won’t see a legit poster, for another few months. Like maybe in May? Too bad, though. I hear it’s really nice.

Very very convincing that it could be made by WB, except they didn’t put in the exact date, which mad me think it was fake. Still an amazing picture, its my wallpaper, and I’m going to save it to my files soon!

Looks pretty good for a fake. I really like that picture… is it a recent still from the movie?

Posted by margoooo on January 04, 2008 @ 06:32 PM

Margoooo no it’s not a still from HBP. The sillouettes of Harry & Dumbledore are from OOTP promotional material and the pretty background image is just a random picture.

Specer

wow! it looks great no wonder people thought it looked it real, I would have thought that too, though it dosent look like the type of scene that WB would choose for the poster.

Well, I thought it was real. Lol.

Whoever did that did an incredible job on that, thanks to whoever created it. It’s a much better poster than the likes of those for movies 2-5 (for the most part), and Warner Brothers should hire that person who created it to do the HBP posters. Or bring back Drew Struzan, who did an incredible job on the first movie’s poster.
