Six New 'Harry Potter' Character Posters

With Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince just a few months away - but nearly nine months after it was originally supposed to be released - there's a new set of Potter character posters. The math gets a little tricky if you don't know they've split the final book, Deathly Hallows, into two movies. So there are eight movies, and this is the sixth book. Some people think making Deathly Hallows a two-parter is a money grab, but at this point, they could do the entire rest of the series in Pig Latin and it would still be one of the most profitable franchises ever, so what's another billion dollars, really? Plus, Deathly Hallows is a very long book, and the movies are already two-and-a-half hours as a rule, so this way they can hit everything they need to hit to wrap it all up. As for the new posters, I think they've gone a little overboard with the Photoshopping, because honestly, Emma Watson's not even 20. Why do you need to smooth out her face, exactly? I prefer the previous collection, which was a little bit darker, since that's the overriding tone of the second half of the series. Of course, in interviews, Daniel Radcliffe has said there's more humor in this movie than in some of the others, so maybe these are more on target than I think. Minus the digital airbrushing, that is.
