3. The Girl In The Red Dress. - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
It blows my mind when I think about how rushed the posters for
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows look in retrospect, almost as if somebody forgot the movie was coming out and spent the entire weekend brushing up on Photoshop and creating as many usable posters as possible before Monday morning rolled around. Which is strange, given that this thing went on to become one of the all-time mega awesome grossing movies ever. And although all the posters are pretty bad, none are quite as bizarrely misleading and inappropriate as this one of Hermione wandering the streets of London in a red dress. What is this telling us about this chapter in the series? Why's there a truck in the background? Why did they go for the most boring and non-magical image possible? Emma Watson is all they needed to sell the film, apparently, even if she does look like she's just been stood up at prom.
