Harry Potter is all growns up, not Jewish photo

As the Harry Potter books become darker and darker, one question repeats itself in many a fan's mind: When will Hermione get naked? Due to the fact that she's leaving the series early to "focus on other projects" and this picture, I'm assuming the answer is "pretty damn soon."

So that brings us to the next, far less important question: Will the games eventually stop sucking? To help solve that mystery, here are a gaggle of new screenshots of the upcoming Order of the Pheonix via Mugglenet. But in case you were really wondering, the answer to that question is no. They are made by EA, which was founded in Australia in 1852, and since only three good things ever came out of  Australia (Martin Riggs, Mad Max, and William Wallace), EA is forever doomed to make crappy games complete with bugs, uninspired gameplay, and broken achievements.

Special thanks to Dtoid reader Megan, who is having a Freddie Prinze Jr.-athon this weekend at her house. If you didn't see the bulletin on your Myspace, then you're not invited.

I didn't even think about Hermione as sexy until that limousine picture. Groups FTW!

Aussie = Dame Edna?

Okay, Cho looks like a dude in a wig, and Ron looks like he's eating something. They clearly had rights to use their likeness, why didn't they? Harry still looks like he's 12 years old.

That pic is disturbing. This thread has become disturbing.

Myspace combined with Freddy Prince Jr is equally disturbing...

I played one of the games on the XBOX:HUGE, it might have been Chamber of Secrets... Anyway, it was "ok." It was your basic 3-D platformer. Collect this. Do this spell. Beat boss and little badies. Rinse, Wash, Repeat. It just didn't hold my interest for very long. Much like most other movie-based games after the NES and Genesis CAPCOM games.

How dare some dude die on us? What a tool.

:P

If she quit, we could just replace her character's lines with Luna's and I'd be okay with it...

Well, I know he died and that was sad, but when you watch the 1st movie and then the second it really messes with the continuity.

That and they have very different aura's to me. It's hard to describe. The old dumbledore was alive and had a warm aura, and the new dumbledore immediately had a much darker, cold aura. He almost comes off as abrasive, whereas the old dumbledore seemed to fit the books better...

Just my opinion though so cum grano salis

Well said bhive. Without being nasty, Richard Harris was a much better Dumbledore, but respect to the new guy for stepping into a dead man's shoes.

My girlfriend is mental on Harry Potter. I started that unfortunately. I've played through most Potter games and been thoroughly let down, especially the GBA versions. No good games for GBA? Oh right yeah, kids own that...

Why would she leave? She's making a ton of money, and I don't think anyone in that cast is in danger of being Type Cast....

"She can't be older than 16."

It can't be anything but right.

Sorry, Richard Harris was a terrible Dumbledore. He was practically on his deathbed during the filming of the first two films (In fact, Michael Gambon actually stood in for him during several scenes during Chamber of Secrets). He had no sense of who the character was either, instead of playing him as jovial and youthful despite his appearance, Harris basically just came up with an "ancient old man voice" and phoned his performance in. At least Gambon's portrayal is slightly interesting.

That one with the Corona looks photoshopped.

@Mxy, I respectfully disagree. I think the exact opposite of what you stated. Harris was jovial and warm, wheras Gambon just comes off as cold. Are you seriously telling me that Gambon is "jovial." I have the movies, tell me where cause I want to see it...

If Lindsey Lohan was good for anything it was the Harry Potter SNL skit when she plays a 'mature' emma.

I actually don't think she was drinking in that shot, it looks like she just posed for the camera. Her neck is pushed out(she is trying to keep the drink away from her, and Ive never seen anyone hold a bottle by the top with the tips of their fingers, then again, when I'm around those bottles I'm normally drunk, so maybe I just don't notice.

@bhive01:

Gambon is barely better, but Harris was flat out terrible. He did absolutely zero research into the character, and only took the job because his granddaughter begged him too. Neither of them has done the character justice, but at least Gambon doesn't seem like he's going to keel over and die the entire time he's on screen.
