OotP official photos!

I was just discussing this with a friend a few weeks ago -- the lack of official pics from OotP. No longer!

The Scotsman ran three pictures in their print edition this morning -- one of Harry fighting a dementor, one of Umbridge, McGonagall, Trelawney, and Filch, and one of Luna. You can see them in a slightly grainy scan here on HPANA, and the first two are also in clearer-but-smaller form on the Scotsman's online article. Umbridge is wearing a pink tweed poncho -- I'm guessing it's sewn, but I bet you could knit something similar in structure -- and Luna's got a great turquoise pullover. (I think I'm gonna love Luna's costumes, given that I dress like a color-blind twelve-year-old half the time anyway.)

Hopefully the big fansites will finagle high-res pics soon, and then we can really get started on the analysis.

I absolutly love (or hate? I mean it is hideous) the teedy poncho! and so happy to see you are back!

I wuv the luna sweater is reminds me of the sweater the oldest boy wears in "Nanny McPhee" (#1 movie to watch when you want to knit thousands of british victorian inspired thingnies!) but I'm starting to think maybe the phone shows the actress the way she dresses normally. Maybe not as Luna.

Let's get our eyes relaxed before we have to stare at zoomed photos to count stitch count eh? :)

hehe, thanks! knitting's a lot funner when I have a place online to flail about it. :)

I love/hate everything about Umbridge. I've actually considered dressing as her (I think I may be just too old to pass for a student now), but there's no way I'd be able to stay even remotely in character. or bear wearing all that pink.

do you think Luna's holding a phone there? I really couldn't make it out.

Actually that pic is really old. She's holding Order of the Phoenix. Google "Evanna Lynch" in imagesand you can find it super easily...

oops! just noticed my mistake there. I'm a hopeless typoist. I meant the photo, not the phone. I'll stop procrastinating from work and filling up all your comments now ;)

ah, I gotcha. and you're right -- here's the same picture, only clearer. in this one, though, she's wearing the same shirt/sweater/jewellery, still holding OotP, but it's in a photo studio setting. maybe it's some studio photographer's way of putting her into context within the books/films?

either way, I really like that sweater! looks like it's a raglan hoodie with a kangaroo pocket and cabling down the front. hmmmm...

*procrastinating too*
