New HBP posters: good guys and bad guys

[potioncat]

> 
> The good guys are no surprise (Harry in front, Dumbledore to his left, Hermione and Ron in back), but the "bad guys" poster has Snape front and center, with Draco to his right and Bellatrix and Fenrir Greyback to his left. Talk about misleading advertising! But, if it plays right, most viewers who haven't read the books will think that Snape is a murdering traitor but a few astute ones (the Snape fans?) may guess that things aren't always as they seem.

> Lovely posters, anyway.

Potioncat:
Well, it isn't the first time they've used "misleading advertising." But we wouldn't want them to give away anything for those who haven't read the books. <eg>

The trailer for the first movie has a voice over of Hagrid saying "not all wizards are good" to a visual of Snape looking very dastardly. I've forgotten what exactly he was doing, scowling or billowing his robes or some such.

Back to the posters, they make a nice pair---and Snape looks wicked (in a good way) But what the heck has happened to his wand? It looks shorter than Umbridge's!

Potioncat, glad she can get to a better computer from time to time.
