Is a double message. The Poster is like Brokeback Mountain, and J.K. say than Dumby was gay =X

OMG! I also almost cried when I saw it. I think it’s apsolutely perfect.WB should take it for one of the official posters. Looking at the poster it’s like I’m reading the book 6. GREAT JOB

Well I liked it. Nice job to whoever made it. Nothing wrong with a little fanart.

very nice and it could easily pass muster a real HBP poster upon first inspection right down to the paraphrased book quote which film makers a famous for doing as taglines from movies based on books

Not going with the crowd on this one. I don’t like it at all. It doesn’t look at all like what I imagined the entrance to the cave would be. Way to large an opening and wasn’t it supposed to face the sea? Nope, don’t like anything about it.

Nice! Rockin’ poster! What if everyone still likes this one better when WB does release the official one…ironic.

It’s alright. I guess. It seems like it would be kind of simple to make with any professional paint program though..

I’m thinking this poster will be more moving than what we get in the actual movie. Somehow I just can’t see them getting it right. The only time the emotional side of the story has been done well is in PoA (not the ‘he was their friend’ part…).

Cuaron could just DO it right. e.g. when Harry slams into his room after blowing up Marge, the way the camera moves toward the picture of his parents (OK, John Williams’s music helps a great deal here too) and also my FAVOURITE scene in all the movies which is the Lupin/Harry Patronus teaching scene. David Thewlis of course was exemplary, but Dan was excellent too. That scene is better than anything in Ootp, even the Harry and Sirius scenes. I think Yates messed it up when Sirius died. It’s hardly clear what the heck even happens! And Lupin is holding Harry but Harry’s not even trying to get to the Veil. Crazy.

It’s nice.. one thing, though- is that what Dumbledore looks like in this movie? The hat makes him look more like Gandalf!

It’s good to know that this poster is fan-made, but it actually looks rather good. WB may want to hire this person. Whoever it is, they definitely have the pulse of what moves an HP fan emotionally.
