This is the best picture I could find of the Daily Prophet from SS.  I think some people might be able to locate their swatches!

I think I see one. Doesnt someone have the very first few lines?

And I think someone has the R from BREAK-IN.

I can't see where my one is from    Even worse I have a large letter that i had assumed was a letter n but looking at this large picture it is an entirley different type face.  Hope they didn't use a stunt Daily Prophet for the cards

Did you post your card, Sharon?  Where can I find it?

[Sharon]

No piccy's I am afraid.  I am quite a low tech girl at heart, not even on the internet.  Well technically I am on the web at the moment but you know what I mean    I just have to do these vague descriptions and let the Shackers imaginations do the rest

I don't think there was a stunt newspaper, but the swatches were cut from more than the front page.  There are swatches of the crossword puzzle, for instance.  I'm a big fan of the Daily Prophet cards -- I hope Artbox makes one for every HP movie!  Just think, there could be a card from the newspaper with the Ford Angelina article in COS, and one with Rita Skeeter's story about Harry and the Triwizard Tournament in GOF.

Sharon, if you bought the card from eBay, the link to the auction might still have the photo.

No this was one of my very lucky pulls  (I am still very happy as you can see  )

I am a huge DP fan as well.  I think it is the fact there are lots of variants, everyone seems to come up with lovely cards.  For this set I also pulled a blank one, which might seem a bit disappointing, but even this is lovely.  You can really see the quality of the paper.

When they evetually get to the OotP I hope they not only do a DP but also a Quibbler card.  That is one I would really want    Wonder how long we will have to wait for that set

Oooooh, a Quibler card!  That would be fantastic!

Filming for OOTP starts in January 2006, so we probably won't see the movie (and cards) until spring 2007.  At least, I think it would be unlikely the film could be ready for Christmas 2006.

This leads to something else.  The GOF cards are supposed to be released in October 2005, COS sometime in 2006, and it would follow that OOTP would come out in 2007.  I really wouldn't be surprised if Artbox came out with a GOF update in spring 2006 and moved COS to the fall.  Then they'd have HP cards coming out roughly every six months, to keep up interest.
