Isn't it interesting that they emphasized her chest?

[Onlooker]

And for you horny 10 year old boys:

[DS1]

1. like giving Keira Knightly actual tits in the Pirates posters

I think that actually pissed her off

[hfojvt]

2. Emma (Hermione) Watson is 17

and they are supposed to be 17 in the movie too. Not 10.

Although as small as she is, she could pass for 13 :hide:

[suzbaby]

4. Hey now...

There's nothing LESS attractive about a small pair of breasts.

Someday, we small breasted women are going to come together and we're going to MARCH on the world! Nothing over a 'B' cup will survive! Muahahahah! :evilgrin:

[purr]

7. LOL!! Sounds good to me!

Small boobies unite! I would swear if I could afford it I'd get something there so it doesnt look like im a wall LMAO :)

[hfojvt]

16. Dr. Zhivago

tear down this wall!

[Maine-ah]

19. woohoo!

I'm with ya! The only reason I have anything now is because I'm breastfeeding..lol...

[Divameow77]

25. Actually I think

they are only 15 in this movie, 17 in the last.

[Mike Daniels]

42. agreed on the breasts

It's not as though they have Jennifer Love Hewitt in a plunging neckline front and center.

Nice overall shape but her bust is hardly in your face on the poster.

[regnaD kciN]

54. Hmmm...

It's not as though they have Jennifer Love Hewitt in a plunging neckline front and center.

I Know What You Did Last Quiddich Season :rofl:

[kay1864]

49. Actually, they're 15 in the movie

5th-year students.

Emma Watson was 15-16 at the time of filming.

[Deja Q]

3. She looks unhappy too. Can't imagine why...

:crazy::crazy:

Doesn't Harry show his "Hairy" in this movie too?

[skygazer]

5. What, you mean stuffed kleenex in it or something?

I don't know - I think people can find meaning or emphasis wherever they want to. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that women have breasts. This isn't a poster where she's bending forward with bright red lipstick and a lot of cleavage - it's a picture of a bunch of kids, one of them's female and she has breasts.

I don't really think the world would be better or at all normal if everyone went around ignoring their sexuality. Which seems to be what some people want.

[nini]

6. I'm not really seeing that

I expected a big cleavage plunging thing I could rant about the sexism, but this?

nah

[The Straight Story]

8. I'm sorry, were you saying something, I was looking at boobies and didn't hear ya

:rofl:

[johnnie]

9. "And for you horny 10 year old boys"

Or apparently, any of you Republicans out there...

[SarahB]

10. Breaking news!!!!

Women have breasts! :wow:

[RetroLounge]

11. Pics?

:rofl:

RL

[rug]

12. Figures you'd pop up in a thread about 17 year old breasts.

[RetroLounge]

13. Hey! I resemble that!

Wait. You're here too? Hmmmmmm.

:D

RL

[The Straight Story]

14. TSS checking in - I didn't move to Bakersfield for the desert, I like the view of mountains I got

:rofl:

[rug]

15. .

:yoiks:

[Blue-Jay]

18. Actually, someone photoshopped the poster to enhance her boobs.

Here's a before/after:



If I were her, I'd be pissed off.

[MonkeyFunk]

20. well duh!

of course the tits are gonna look bigger in IMAX!

[gmoney]

31. And 3D!

Of course, if you count the time from CONCEPTION as some fundies want, she might be 18 at this very moment. LOL

[hyphenate]

22. They also fluffed up her hair

and lightened the whole image. They also toned it green instead of blue and put an underglow to Hermione. It probably was only minimal work to make the changes.

[Blue-Jay]

24. Oh yeah. I didn't notice that.

That probably says something about me that I'd rather not discuss.

[Divameow77]

26. I don't think most

teenage girls would be pissed about getting digitally enhanced boobs ;-)

[gmoney]

32. The artwork they REJECTED

If you think THAT'S bad...

[jmowreader]

38. Let me see...

Changed color balance of whole piece. (Look at the kid next to Ron's left shoulder. Face is much redder in the Imax version.)

Lightened background.

Fixed color balance of Harry's clothing; in the Imax version you can see he's got a red shirt on under his robe, whereas in the non-Imax version it blends right in

Fluffed up Hermione's hair, also the hair of the girl two back from Hermione

Took about three inches out of Hermione's gut--look close at the curve under the breast, not just at the breast itself.

Significantly softened Hermione's makeup. Look around the eyes.

Come on, folks. This ain't reality we're talking about here. The finished piece is...well, prettier...than what they started out with.

What really pisses ME off isn't made-over, photoshopped, enhanced images of people. It's made-over, photoshopped, enhanced images of products. You saw Falling Down, right? The scene in the Whammyburger, where he shot the place up with a Mac-10 then ordered lunch. He pulled the hamburger out of the box...it looked like your generic "this has been under a warming lamp for the last four hours even though we started serving lunch five minutes ago" burger. Then he points at the promo shot for the sandwich. "That's what I'm talking about. Look at that. It's hot, it's juicy, it's three inches thick...now look at this ridiculous squashed thing. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this picture? Anyone? Anyone at all?" I wanna see "Products Without Makeup" articles in the Star instead of Stars Without Makeup. Yeah, I know Sandra Bullock looks washed-out with no makeup--"not looking washed-out" is why she wears it. I wanna see a photo of what the Bucket of Boiled Stuff I like at Joe's Crab Shack looks like when I get it versus the picture on the menu. Trust me--they're not even close. I wanna see a photo of that laminate flooring without the ten pounds of wax they put on it before they photograph it. I think you'd be highly pissed at that--far more than "they made Hermione Grainger's chest more prominent in the publicity still for the movie she's in." Besides, don't they still sell Wonderbras?

[blondeatlast]

50. Did some face work and trimmed her waist, too.

It doesn't look like they altered much of the others, either.

[northzax]

48. and in movies that have, as a central theme

boys in the throes of puberty, it's shocking, isn't it?

[MonkeyFunk]

17. You'd think at Hogwarts

every girl would have giant bazongas and the boys would all be hung like clydesdales - they have MAGIC after all!

[The Straight Story]

23. That's usually what I tell women when they smirk at my size

Hey, I ain't harry potter with a magic wand, I got born and all I got was this lousy branch.

[regnaD kciN]

40. That's probably because...

You'd think at Hogwarts every girl would have giant bazongas and the boys would all be hung like clydesdales - they have MAGIC after all!

...they haven't yet been trained in use of the Mammaria Gigantica and Packagus Humungous spells. :evilgrin:

[hyphenate]

21. I think it's great that the girls outnumber the boys

in that poster. And since Harry is the center of attention in the poster, it's only fitting that his two best friends, Hermione and Ron, are featured "in your face." It's also fitting to see them as budding (no pun intended!) adults--the next generation to fight the evil minions of Voldemort.

Up until #5, very few actually came out and said his name: it seemed that every one of the older generation was too afraid to speak of him. But Hermione took the gargantuan step forward and named him, even if she did so with much trepidation. I think it only goes to show that the young generation isn't going to be afraid of facing him in #7, regardless of the outcome. :)

[chaska]

27. Hairy Pooter and the Order of the Penis. They should have turned her around.

[NC_Nurse]

29. No, it's Hairy Peter and the Order of the Penis.

Or at least, according to my husband. :D

[HughBeaumont]

28. Here's the version they were GOING to use:

[Redneck Socialist]

37. LOL, you beat me too it.

I was going to post that.

:7

Here's the clip:

http://thetravisty.com/Saturday_Night_Live/wmv/Lindsay_Lohan_-_Harry_Potter.htm

[WinkyDink]

30. And with Daniel, we know what they COULD have emphasized!

[krispos42]

33. Where does the line of the 'P' in 'Potter' point, hmmm?!?!?

*cough* package *cough*

[Mojambo]

34. At least we can't see the sorcerer's bone. n/t

[WCGreen]

35. Yea but they all looked really pissed off....

Oh well, I guess the Goth chicks have finally hit Hogswarth....

[Manifestor_of_Light]

36. I'm wondering.

Why is the Oriental girl that Harry kissed SO FAR BACK on the left, so that she is barely visible? I know she's a new character, but really......

I saw the movie Wed. night and thoroughly enjoyed it.

[MonkeyFunk]

39. Oriental?

geez... I guess that's better than "girl chinaman" but barely.

[NewJeffCT]

43. I haven't gotten to book 5 yet

But, I know the Asian girl was introduced as a very minor character in (I think) book 3 and was still pretty minor in book 4. She's certainly not as well known as the main characters, and I have no clue how her character develops in books 5 and 6.

[AllegroRondo]

45. she's minor in book 5, out in book 6

barely mentioned at all, Harry breaks up with her and starts dating Ginny Weasley.

[Zomby Woof]

41. What's with all the sulking?

This trend of having the actors on movie posters looking oh-so-serious, full of purpose and angst, ready to kick your ass... can the idiots in marketing (not to be redundant) come up with anything different or better just once?

[regnaD kciN]

55. Considering that they're in a desparate battle against the forces of evil...

...I wouldn't expect them to be yucking it up.

[NewJeffCT]

44. I saw a high school yearbook like that once

A certain percentage of the girls' formal pictures were with them posed semi-sideways so their chests would be shown off...and, they all happened to be the more well-endowed girls.

Of course, when I saw this yearbook, I was 20 years old or so. so, I often thought naughty thoughts like that...

(A good friend of mine's stepfather was a high school principal - so, we got to see the yearbook ahead of everybody else at the school that year. )

[regnaD kciN]

56. The kids of a friend of mine...

...refer to it as "The Obligatory Gen-X Chest Shot." (They were particularly amused, several TV seasons ago, when the Olson Twins got their OGXCSs in their new sitcom.)

[DS1]

46. *approves*

[GoddessOfGuinness]

47. Remember this poster?

How much of Princess Leia's leg did we actually see in the movie? And as I recall, she was pretty averagely endowed in the breast department.

And for that matter, Luke's chest wasn't quite that exposed either...nor was it as muscular. :rofl:

[NewJeffCT]

51. I know

Not to mention the brass bikini Leia wore in Return of the Jedi - I was 16 when that movie came out, so I was like the perfect demographic for drooling over women in brass bikinis.

And, you're also correct that Luke was never that "buff" in the movies, either.

[El Fuego]

52. I guess that's why you need to see it in 3D

[Zavulon]

53. They did the same thing with Summer Glau on the cover of Serenity.

She's almost unrecognizable - Summer is cute, but not a full B-cup on her best day and wouldn't have breasts as large as shown in the posters even during a pregnancy.
