Bah Hum, the fake poster elves are hard at work this season it would seem. Scores of owls arrived today bearing news that this was the first purported poster for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows film, but thanks to WB we can confirm that this is fake!
I think it’s actually a pretty nice fake (far better than its predecessors).
Speaking as another designer, I think the text at the top could use some work but I see nothing wrong with the logo itself, except perhaps the large Photoshop lens flair in the center.
That fake poster is pretty, though. They should use it. Honestly, I like the fake ones better than the real ones half the time. At least, I like them as teaser posters.
The poster was good enough to trick some people. I thought it was really well done, however, the patronus is suppose to be a stag not a doe. Plus the quote didn’t seem to fit. ‘A’ for effort.
"You only like [Cedric] because he's [i]handsome,[/i]" said Ron scathingly.[br]"Excuse me, I don't like people just because they're handsome!" said Hermione indignantly.[br]Ron gave a loud false cough, which sounded oddly like [i]"Lockhart!"[/i]
Ooohhh, hero! It is actually a very nice fake then.
