Love it! (though it is a bit too CGI looking, looks more like something for the video game...)

Drao's expression is perfect- he looks terrified, yet unable to tear his gaze from the revolving Charity Burbage. As SwedishSkinJer stated, Lucius Malfoy looks like a broken, desperate, sad man- the untidiness of his collar and the downcast look in his eyes contrasts dramatically well with the proud, wealthy character we saw in CoS and OOTP. And Bellatrix...her expression of that twisted, in my opinion, admiration of Voldemort looks very true to the books.

I can't comment on Narcissa as her head is turned. I hope there's a little shot of her comfortingly squeezing Lucius's hand as he gives his want to Voldemort. I hope they highlight on that somewhat postive, loving aspect of the Malfoy's relationship in the films. Just my opinion.

I don't think they're going to be showing the loving aspect of the Malfoy family. I don't think Narcissa has lines in this movie.

We don't know that for sure. I'm sure Narnissa has some lines during the Malfoy Manor escape scene, for instance.

Gosh...that banner is...different. I'm not sure what I think of it right now, to be honest!

The colours- the contrast between green and gold (green for Avada Kedavra and perhaps gold represents the Order of the Phoenix) I think is effective and I like how they've split the evil characters and the good characters.

Hmm, no, I've decided I like it! It just seemed quite a shock as to me, there hasn't been a Harry Potter poster/banner quite like this before.

Actually Order of the Phoenix had a somewhat similar banner as I recall...there was no wand action though, just the good vs. evil split

[Sacred_Memories]

That is an appalling poster. That makes the movie look like a joke! I've never seen such a horrible poster for the Potter series. Epic fail. We'd better be getting new banners.

I don't know why, but any aspect of the Malfoy family makes me down because, I personally, think that them focusing on Lucius and nothing on Narcissa was a big mistake.

I hope she does have at least some lines. I'd like to see her interact with Lucius in the film and I'm sure she'd do that well; I was impressed with her acting skills in the Unbreakable Vow scene in HBP.

I'll be a little disappointed if they don't show the loving aspect between Narcissa and Lucius; I think it would break the mould of Lucius's pantomime villain style character in CoS. The posters of him so far show that they're showing his more vulnerable side, so I'm glad on that respect. I hope they have a frantic Lucius and Narcissa during the Battle of Hogwarts, searching for Draco.

I completely agree. It's just the test screeners never mentioned ANYTHING about Narcissa...which is a terrible shame.

Again, even if the Lucius storyline has been expanded, that's not necessarily at the expense of Narcissa's scenes. We don't exactly know of his role in The Forest Again yet, so it's all speculation at the moment. Very good speculation, but speculation nevertheless.

You mean because of the video game look? Yeah, agree but otherwise it's awesome!

I actually 100% agree with that. I don't like it. It's just horrible. Voldemort looks really bad. And why do they have the other 6 Potters by themselves.

That is not cool.

[Sacred_Memories]

It's times like these when I wish I had a wand and just barged into WB's marketing department and Crucio them until they get the message.

Guys...a person just pointed out that it's one of the user pics...

[SwedishSkinJer]

So, you want to torture one of WB's teams? Hyperbole much?

Guys...a person just pointed out that it's one of the user pics...

Hmm. Oclumencia had it posted as a new story on the front page. Seems like they were fooled if this is indeed true.

What does that mean? (Sorry, I'm not very knowledgable concerining computer things...)

Personally, I'd rather have a below average poster and a mind blowing, spectacular film than vice versa. This latest poster doesn't disappoint me, I just think WB are experimenting with different styles and of course I know that won't suit to everyone's tastes but so far, for me, the posters/banners haven't disappointed. Just my opinion, of course.

Oh ****, I didn't even notice that Hmm, weird

[Sacred_Memories]

Excuse me while I go swimming...my swimming pool is now filled with utter disgust from that poster that I can practically swim in it.

The banner looks so...photoshopped? Well, of course it is, but it just shows so clearly. An those buildings ruin everything.

Here's a shot of Ron holding his wand from some newly released Hot Topic t-shirt designs:

Yes, I know that there's a thread to discuss merchandise, but this is primarily for the new shot of Ron, not for the shirt.

[FutureAuthor13]

That looks like it takes place during the Silver Doe, to me anyway. Ron's expression here is very determined, in my opinion, which makes me think he's just about to destroy the locket Horcrux. Does anyone know if the hug between him and Harry is included after that scene- I think it's an important moment regarding the strong bond of friendship between the two boys.
