Yeah come on WB! I mean sometimes it feels like you all are just sitting back enjoying all the forgery being created. If you want to make the fans happy instead of gunning for you give us the good stuff before the fakers get a chance to pull one over on everyone. This is so frustrating.

OMG if it’s fake it’s good fake It seems that WB prefers say that all stuff who come on web is fake that show us something real. What they do ? Ice Age 3 have 3 posters and one trailer and it’s coming summer 2009. For me despite why WB claim it’s a true picture and WB are not happy that came on web .

Yes TLC why you don’t ask WB when they intends to begin promotion from the movie because there that becomes tiring

“Am I the only knitting dork who wants to know what the connection is between HP and Opal Yarn?”

LoL! Good point.

I’m glad they said it was a fake. Honestly, who spends all of this time making fake posters and trying to pull them off as real? A fan doing it for fun wouldn’t try to mislead people.

well, you cant blame people for making fake hbp stuff, it isn’t like we’ve had anything more than two lousy pictures released. (yeah, WB, i’m talking to YOU!)

like webmaster of master of mysteries say : ” I know what WB and the fansites have said about it being a fake poster, but if any of you can find that promo shot of Harry in anything we’ve seen in the first five films, I’ll give you a million bloody dollars. I can pretty much guarantee that the promo shot used in this piece of merchandise is indeed real and new. The only thing WB is denying about this is that it’s an official poster, and I will agree that it’s obviously not, but it’s a new photo.” and you know what I’m TOTALLY AGREE WITH HIM

How Opal can make this fake promotional poster if they don’t have an official picture ,

Think of this

WB its when you want

I commented earlier and I must say, this IS a fan Poster and I was off. It did look a bit funny though, so it is not much of a surprise that it is a fake. It looked like one that you could find on a sticker book for OOTP.

People can say what they want, but I don’t think that looks like Daniel Radcliffe anyways. More like a stunt double. shrugs
