And if these photos *were* dress rehearsal shots, the kids would have 
been in the clothes they were actually going to WEAR in the shot. 
That's why it's called DRESS rehearsal :-) in theatrical productions, 
anyway -- it's usually the very last rehearsal before opening night. 
Also, movies are not rehearsed in the same way that plays are 
rehearsed. Movies are rarely shot sequentially (not even HP, though 
these have been shot less-unsequentially than most). While I suppose 
there might be a few run-throughs before filming begins, to give 
everyone a sense of how the whole film will go, it's my understanding 
that the actors go home in the evening, learn their lines, get up the 
next day (often at some ridiculous hour like 4:00 a.m.), go to makeup 
and wardrobe, wait for their scenes to be shot (or, if they're still 
in school, attend lessons on the set), rehearse the scene in costume, 
wait some more while the sound and lighting technicians put 
everything in place, and then shoot as many takes as the director 
thinks are needed. 

At least that's how I've heard and read that it goes.

At any rate, I am looking forward to seeing Cuaron's interpretation 
of POA. I think it speaks volumes that JKR is willing to let Cuaron 
do things considerably differently than Columbus did. (Or maybe it 
says something about Columbus, since he's the producer this time.) 
Thought actually I think it speaks most about David Heyman, since 
he's the executive producer and probably has the most to lose in 
terms of professional stature if Cuaron blows this.
