From here to November, it's going to be one helluva ride. The anticipation is one of the best parts. :D CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

starlette804 - I know! I got mine today too! I nearly broke my neck getting so excited about it! :) It's BEAUTIFUL. I love the pictures inside & I love how the US cover is in the INSIDE this time. :D


Posted by jacobs06 Jul 3rd 2008

whoa..really really high res of harry and Hermione....a little too close..close enough to see chin hair


Posted by Hogwartsgirl52 Jul 3rd 2008

In the slughorn pic, the girl with the pink thing in her hair is Lavender right?


Posted by hplvr92 Jul 3rd 2008

The pics are awesome, but did anyone else notice that the countdown has the wrong date on it? It says Nov. 11, the movie comes out on the 21st... I loved the Luna and Ron pics, they're awesome. Dan's looking good too, I never thought I'd sound so much like a fan girl... I have to go watch sports to feel better, I swore I'd never be one of those girls lol.


Posted by Mattrixed Jul 3rd 2008

Why are they using Bunsen burners in potions class? Surely they would use magic to heat the cauldrons, no? I think it's funny that they have the Bunsen burners in that photo. :P


Posted by obsessedpotterfan Jul 3rd 2008

The stubble on Dan's/Harry's face just kind of complete everything. :]


Posted by Radishes127 Jul 3rd 2008

omg... why the hell isn't Dumbledore not wairing his glasses?!


Posted by BlueOwlfire Jul 3rd 2008

Okay sorry to dampen everyones good mood but I had to point out something..... In all the Harry Potter movies all of the classes have been joined... I mean all of the Houses have been going to the same classes, but in the books they only share classes once in awhile and now when the book finaly has The houses in the same class they break it up? In the Slughorn Pic all of the students that you can see are Gryffindor so why are they changing their format now? Where"s Draco and Knott and so forth? Sorry but the more I see of this movie coming out the more I have been upset. I just think they should have stuck more to the books like they did in the first movie. and stop changing and leaving out so much.. BUT!!!! I'm sorry everyone for pointing this out and runing your good news!!!


Posted by Crookshanks93 Jul 3rd 2008

Lol Hermy91 2 I saw Lavender too! She's got plaits and some pink thing on her head! Haha! Anyway... nice pics, hopefully this means a teaser trailer in the extreme near future!


Posted by musicalgirl Jul 3rd 2008

Did anyone else notice the body in Hermione's eyes? I think this is probably the scene with the cursed necklace-look in her right eye (on the left side in the picture), and you can see a sort of figure in a grey shirt on the ground. No beard or grey hair, so I'm betting on Katie.


Posted by citylove3583 Jul 3rd 2008

does this mean we get a trailer soon???? i think it would be awesome if it came out tomorrow for the 4th of july (for those of us in the US) haha yeah right...


Posted by Lunizzy_lovegood Jul 3rd 2008

AH! yay yay YAY! finally some real pictures. sheesh


Posted by Hedwig8 Jul 3rd 2008

I love that we have new pics! They are great photos, but I really hate the new quidditch uniforms! Oh well, at least we finally have something new to look at. All we need now is a trailer. Come on WB! You have made us wait entirely too long!!!!


Posted by muggleish Jul 3rd 2008

cool pictures! trailer time any day now... i know it's the other story that's up by I seriously hope that it's with Dark Knight, not the Mummy, because I've been looking forward to Dark Knight almost as much as I've been looking forward to HBP... ok... not nearly close but... you couldn't PAY ME to see the Mummy. Gross, I don't want to just pay for the trailer. Anyway... back to le photos... what's with the Bunsen burners in Slughorn's class? "for goodness sake Hermione, are you a witch or not?!" why the hell do they need gas when they can conjure flame whenever the hell they want? I know I'm being ridiculously picky, but they just caught my eye and looked weirdly out of place. Anyway. Photos photos photos! must mean trailer trailer TRAILER very soon!!!! ...right?


Posted by Rose37 Jul 3rd 2008

Thanks for point that out BlueOwlfire!!! Don't worry you didn't ran on my prade!!! Tho remember the book and the movie will never be close to detail from eachother!!!


Posted by All_Hale_Dumbledore Jul 4th 2008

Hermione has a stache!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by me_again Jul 4th 2008

Emma has a cute little mustach!!!!


Posted by michiev Jul 4th 2008

uhhhhh. okay Rose37, your a really bad harry potter fan then. and whoever said emma had a mustache. shut the eff up! how would you feel if someone randomly came up to you and said "OH MY GOD YOUR UGLY!", because.. you know, if some of you are as big of fans as you say you are. you wouldnt be all like "omfg if you zoom in to these pictures you find out they're all ugly" and.. also. you know, complaing about every little thing thats not the same in the book, REALLY PISSES ME OFF. so. if you dont like it, shut the EFF up and go read your WONDERFULY PERFECT BOOK. get over it, and grow up!


Posted by LikexWhoax3 Jul 4th 2008

yay for draco! yay for ron! yay for harry, dumbledore and hermione!! ..heck....YAY FOR HBP. !!!=D ..i hope the teaser is with Dark Knight..*crosses fingers and toes*-__-


Posted by bEtHyBoP13 Jul 4th 2008

I keep wondering why Slughorn is wearing what looks like a graduation outfit...I LOVE these pics and the one of Ron is so funny. Does anyone else take the really random ones and try to guess where they are in the book? Idk I might just be sad...lol.


Posted by me_again Jul 4th 2008

michiev, why don't you STFU? And take a chill pill? Nobody has said Emma is ugly, she just has a cute mustache...deal with it. She has got one, dosen't make her any less cute.


Posted by leighpotter Jul 4th 2008

is anyone not totally loving the new quidditch gear?other than that - TRAILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by emma_holloway Jul 4th 2008

Oh no. They made him where the hat!


Posted by Luna22 Jul 4th 2008

All the pics make me even more impatient....I'm staring at them since an hour now!!But why do they have burners on slughorn's table??Don't they konw that they can make their own fire??!!!!


Posted by kalb Jul 4th 2008

Slughorn is all wrong. I'm sure he'll act the part great, but he's completely opposite of the character described in the books. Arg!


Posted by dizzyshar Jul 4th 2008

I agree Slughorn looks nothing like the book describes, lets hope he can pull it off. Is it me or does the Ron Quidditch picture look photoshopped? The lighting on Ron is completely different from the background, allmost like if that scene was done in 3d with him standing out of it...donno, looks fake to me.


Posted by merry_sa Jul 4th 2008

I love the Ron one with the chocolates, but the Slughorn is still annoying me really...it just looks wrong. I feel like taking all these pics and sticking them together and making a trailer of my own, like an animation booklet. TRAILER, HURRY UP!


Posted by bEtHyBoP13 Jul 4th 2008

I LOVE the quidditch outfits!. And I think Lavender looks exactly as I pictured her especially with that pink headband she's got in. Okay, sorry I keep commenting. :P


Posted by hedwiglives Jul 4th 2008

Another comment that I'm sure isn't very original by now: Isn't Slughorn supposed to look like this? http://www.mugglenet.com/ books/chapterpics/images/ hbp/originals/hbp04.jpg --isn't he supposed to be pretty big? That is so not how I pictured him.


Posted by emmalee256 Jul 4th 2008

slughorn looks NOTHING like i'd picture him. and i agree with Rose37 that some time or another they're going to have to stop showing us new gryffindors and start telling us who they are...


Posted by alexxx Jul 4th 2008

lol look how cute ron is :] and draco ... ;) haha, i love it


Posted by hpismyfav Jul 4th 2008

wher is the flippng Trailer!!!!!!! the Quidditch uniform is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by HpAlwaysN4ever Jul 4th 2008

Does anyone else think Draco is in the Room of Requirement in that picture, trying to fix the cabinet???


Posted by The_Fat_Lady Jul 4th 2008

What the hell! Where's my big fat fatty Slughorn?! How hard is it to don a fat suit?!? I'm so bummed.. well.. I WOULD be, wouldn't I!


Posted by evanna11 Jul 5th 2008

WICKED! A lot of pictures:D...But the one picture with Slughorn in potions class, I assume..WTH is all in potions class..I mean, Neville, Lavender(?), Cho?! The one of Harry and Hermione is very much like in PoA. ACCIO TRAILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!now...I want the trailer..(Ow, Siriusly you couldn't have guessed that..:P)


Posted by trueligth Jul 5th 2008

I love these photos, I can't wait to see the movie and look every thing in action.


Posted by hyphylyphy Jul 5th 2008

why is neville in the potions class?


Posted by PiningOverPadfoot Jul 5th 2008

ZOMGHermione'sHairIsTooBL OOOOONDDDDE!!!! ...Hah a, just kidding. But seriously...THAT'S Slughorn? He doesn't look the way they wrote him in the books at ALL...what about the mustache?!


Posted by LunaIsOurQueen Jul 6th 2008

Luna looks brilliant in this film! I love her hair! They HAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE to give us the trailer soon if theyve just released all of these pics! Why on earth is neville in the advanced potion making class?!?! *confused*, and lavender! And i also noticed that i think they might have changed the actress of Parvati again, but im not sure- im going to check it out on the cast list. If they have its being played by the girl from the Basil Brush show!


Posted by Neurons Jul 6th 2008

Hermione's so blonde...


Posted by irishfanaticwhobelievessnapeisgood Jul 6th 2008

Great pictures!!! To me Slughorn seems wrong, but ill wait til I see the movie to pass further judgement on him! I need the trailer!!!!!!!!!


Posted by tbc07 Jul 6th 2008

AWESOME! Has anyone else noticed that Dumbledore's hair looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER?????? It is actually white and shiny, not ugly and dirty for once!!!!! Even if he still ties it and wears that ugly purple robe....and no glasses...grr.


Posted by Neurons Jul 6th 2008

Maybe dumbledore took his glasses off for one second... and put it in one of the pockets in the ugly purple robe.


Posted by Baphomet Jul 8th 2008

Hermione/Slughorn forever!


Posted by 442Rickmaniac Jul 8th 2008

I agree with many of the above postings--where is Slughorn's moustache? I pictured him as a sort of pompous 1940's movie Col Blimp, rotund, big walrus-moustache and alot of blustering upper-class "ho-ho"'s. Jim Broadbent would've been perfectly able to act that kind of part, should he have asked for it to be that way. But like Alec Guinness in "Bridge over the River Kwai" he miight've found it too boring to play a stodgy old duffer like that (in the text it says "buffer" but I always thought JKR meant "duffer"--but maybe she made a play on words intentionally, given the key clue Slugworth held). I always felt Lavender Brown was a sort of Mulatto girl, or like Angelina. I also think those Quidditch helmets are a bad mistake. After all, Madame Pomfrey can fix a cracked skull in a heartbeat, right? David Yates was a very mediocre choice to direct the last key films. They should've gotten Alfredo Cuizon or even Mike Newell, but David Yates is just so uninspired. More like a TV director. I don't mean one of the edgy types. More like a "Dallas" or "Dynasty" director (for those too young, they were highly popular night-time soaps, but all plot-oriented and lacking any depth, which is precisely what sets the HP series apart, as it can certainly be read on a facile level but has many more fine layers to thumb through than the immediately accessible ones).


Posted by mighty Jul 8th 2008

Amazing what high res pics can do. Hermione is cute, mustache or not (so what). Also, I think "artistic liberties" have been taken with all the HP movies. Harry's eyes are supposed to be green, Hermione's hair is supposed to be bushy, blah-blah-blah. They get the main things right. Stiiiiilllll, I want to see the pic of Slughorn's potions class, bunsen burners and all, in the caption contest.

Is Dumbledore right that Hogwarts sorts its students into Houses too soon - while the kids are too young?

I think we'd better check with Puddlemere United whether Oliver Wood's been killed during a training session, because she [Angelina] seems to be channeling his spirit.
