    you know what…all of those pics are great but I am sick and tired of Warner Brothers and the producers always changing everything!!Romilda Vane as a sixth year?Neville in NEWTS potions?Slughorn thin(well,kinda)and with no walrus moustache?Why??Have they ever tried to stick to the material?I mean how can they explain the fact that there are now two new students in the same year with Harry?The only thing that made me happy was that Harry is holding the Elder Wand in that pic(the link is in a previous post)...then again he shouldn’t be holding it!oh well.I hope this film turns out to be good and not a silly comedy with teenagers snogging.Mark my words fellow Potterfans,the way I see it,the DH films may as well be different beyond recognition and noone will have voiced their displeasure(so many details have changed now,that most elements of the DH plot will be impossible to preserve in the films).It is up to us,fans, to kindly point out that some things are just very different.I am a little disapppointed but still looking forward to this film.:)

    Its like we’ve been waiting 2 years for a bus and 20 turn up at once. WUUUHUUUUU Something at last.

    Marjory – thats a promo shot from OOTP :-)

    I’m confused with the quiditch shot…I could be wrong, but isn’t number 1 the seekers number? Or is it the keepers? Its been a while since I’ve read the books so I’m foggy on that part :-) Are the numbers correct? I know its a petty thing and I’m not upset by it….just curious.

    Thanks WB for sharing…....at last!

    Wow, Ron’s helmet looks really stupid. But I think Ron and the whole quidditch deal is meant to be a comedic aspect so maybe that was done on purpose.

    And did anyone else notice that Tom Felton in the newest picture has the skinniest ankles and the BIGGEST feet ever! How can he walk? Honestly! I love him though so it just makes me laugh but man alive….
