Dobby

Dobby has come to warn you, Sir. Yes, Dobby from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets graces the teaser poster for the new Harry Potter movie. (I have the three official movie posters from the first movie. I still need to get them framed.) He's completely done in CGI. I just got so excited when I saw the poster I had to share it. Another five months of anticipation until the movie premiers. Hopefully this time I can complete my goal of re-reading the book before I see the movie. Without a doubt, the first book was better than the movie. You don't need to see it on screen to "see" it. The world J.K. Rowling creates on the page is visualized with such brilliance and vibrance in your head. That's the only downfall of the movie, though so many aspects of this world were as I imagined them. It creates the image for you -- it serves it to you on a silver platter and you don't have the joy of cooking and serving it yourself. However, I still loved the movie with all my heart and I think I've protected the images I have in my head for future books. Speaking of which, book five, The Order of the Pheonix has been delayed until at least next summer. Poo! But I trust that Rowling will publish it when she feels it is ready and no sooner.
