PoA poster or a fake?

My opinion - nice poster but probably a fake (too early perhaps for 
teasers to be released if the film-makers are *trying* to keep a low 
profile in order to lens the film with minimal fuss). After seeing 
Oldman's appearance in "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead", have 
to say that I am even more convinced in his brilliant casting.
 
Aside - Yikes! I didn't think that an innocently named subject such 
as "new uniforms" would rile the grown-ups on this little board up 
so much. I won't even dare re-visit the subject of Lucius' Ava... at 
the end of CoS (though until I visited this board, I honestly 
thought that he was just clearing his throat... or gargling :) ). 
J.K. Rowling is in a singular position in our world today - her 
stories are so venerated (and we typing here are a small testimony 
to that), that should the film-makers put a toe wrong, her militant 
fan base (and I refer to the kids) would make a huge fuss. I doubt 
that any other author today has had the power to stipulate matters 
(such as the nationality of the actors portraying her characters), 
as Ms Rowling has. I think that the films are in safe hands whilst 
she continue to write books that kids line up to read. 

Also - I'm a wee bit confused ... should I be combining my messages 
in one post or will I then be posting off-topic?
