Woah. He looks a lot less like Harry and a lot more like James.

1st comment?

Well, if that is Dan, he looks a lot older in the picture.

I’m still surprised we haven’t been bombarded with HBP images yet. Do you think they want to wait before the teaser is released to start releasing new images? I think it would be kind of neat to make the teaser the first thing we’ll see.

Hopefully this means we’ll be getting more pictures now but i keep saying that so we’ll see….

I think he looks the same as always =/ And that that pose is getting lame. Come on WB, be creative!

Are we sure thats actually a new photo? It looks the same as Ootp, same pose, same outfit. Kinda looks like they just superimposed the pictue to a new background. I could be wrong of course!

very cool i want it!!! even though its in german, but i do have to agree with Amy S that pose is over used, but even so its cool, and yah he does look like james, but would that not be noprmal as he gets older? except for the eyes Lily’s eyes…...

Aha, as I suspected, I have absolute proof that I am indeed , ..wrong…as usual! Just made a comparison with OOtp posters. yeah this looks new but as Amy points out, same pose. Except, I like the pose. Its a cool pose.

Honestly, some fan posters look better. WB needs to give us the good posters like they have done in the past. Still it isn’t a terrible poster and Dan does look a lot older! It’s going to be great!

actually harry must be old because ron,twist,seamusidean and neville do look old.

Well, I like it- I’m not one to complain about poses, so I’m pretty content with this odd (but great!) bit of news. :D

A simple marketing promo poster.Nothing special.I can’t wait for the official teaser poster, actually.I hope it’s something satisfying.Anyway, yeah Dan looks older and anyway…I’m curious if that pic of the castle is new or old.

By the way, I didn’t mean anything by saying Dan looks older. Obviously at some point he will no longer look like a 15 year old. I just meant he looked like he was in his mid-twenties because he was so polished looking.

I expect that the Dan part is indeed a new photo, but that company created the “poster.”

Yea! He can pose however he wants as far as I’m concerned! Can’t wait for more HBP pics.

Aw he looks.. fuller. Which is great! Makes him look a little older than in OotP. I wish they had posters for Ron and Hermione too though.

Yeah, it’s not really a movie poster, it’s just for toys and stuff like that. I’m also more interested about the castle. By the way, you can see it’s a new pic of Harry, because of his hearcut. It’s a bit different from the one he had in OOTP.

Obviously a fake. The German title says “Halbblutprinz”, not “Halbblut Prinz”, in two words – I think WB would be able to spell the title correctly.
