We still haven't seen or heard anything on Prof Quirrell's (sp?) turban which was pictured in the NSU mag in a HP set preview. That might have been from SS though, I can't seem to remember I don't have it readily available either. Maybe that will be in one of the special sets. Seemed strange to have a picture of a costume that was in possession of AB for a set and not use it  |

I'd like Fleur's costume to be her Third Task since we already have one from the First and Second Tasks.

This set is crying out for the other two House tie costume cards!!!  Yes it is!!! This may be one of the last chances to get those cards. It's a perfect time for Artbox to include those, with Cho and Cedrick having worn them. |

Ah, Cedric's tie. Now that is a card I would HAVE to have  I will be dissapointed with out a DP in this set as well. There were so many wonderful shots of the paper in the movie :'( |

Hm, I find the new info on the set to be both promising and disappointing. Some of the new auto info is good to hear, and the fact that it looks like we will be getting a Daily Prophet in the props cards is very welcome information. However, and I may be the only fool who thinks this, but I really don't like the direction they are going with the 'Material Used in the Making of" costume cards (one of the big reasons I dislike, say, Topps so-called costume cards as opposed to other cards companies  ), and I like most of the prop cards on the list, but 1) how many tent prop cards do we need? To me, a tent is a piece o'scenery, and not really a prop; kind of like if they took a piece of a wall from a house in a film and put it a prop card: really doesn't work for me. And 2) I was much happier with the 10 costume, 5 auto, and 5 prop rumor then the current 7, 5, 3. And I'm a bit to lazy too look, but wasn't GOF 10, 5, 3, with three film cards? So why remove three costume cards for the current set and not increase the number of one of the other inserts. And one last thing, since I'm yaking on anyway (heh, yaking on, heh, that's a funny): So does "2 Dual Auto/Costume Cards" means 2 different duel auto and 2 different duel costume cards, or a duel auto and a duel costume cards making two total, or are they going the same route as the quad card and making it 2 autos and 2 costumes on one cards? *sigh* Instead of answering our questions, it just begets more questions. I realize this sounds like I'm really down on the info for this set, and I am on certain parts of it to be honest, but I do find it, mostly, to be promising, with some very nice autos and prop cards, and some decent costume cards. |

I can answer some of your questions. The odds are not yet set in stone. They could change, and as I recall with other sets, there were questions until we received the cases/boxes and read the odds printed on the packs. If someone from Artbox reads this and wants to clarify the odds/case breakdown, please let us know. Artbox has no control over what costumes (or other objects) Warner Bros. supplies for the cards. If the studio has decided to hold on to the costumes and only give Artbox fabric used to make those costumes, there really isn't anything Artbox can do about it. Maybe Warner Bros. thinks that if Peter Jackson can keep LOTR costumes intact, then they should do the same with HP. I can't imagine that the people at Artbox are pleased with this turn of events. The dual auto/costume cards have one auto and one costume of a Death Eate. There are two different Death Eater dual auto/costume cards. |

So, other then Jason Issacs as Lucius, I don't think we saw a single death eater's face, really. So...this will kind of be liking having an autograph card from third non-descript Gryffindor student to the left in scene 27, 'eh?  Oh, I know full well the odds are never set in stone with artbox, hence the reason I worded it the way I did, i.e. as a rumor. If the supposed box break down was ever actually garunteed by them, I would have been able to complain alot with the last case. See, I can understand a part of the Peter Jackson LOTR costume thing, wanting to keep the costume for show purposes, but then there's also the fact that there are usually a minimum of three or four copies of each costume, which usually each get their turn on screen as the others are worn down through war and tear, so one would gather there would at least be one to give to, say, a card company, if the price was right. |

I think that this is the only set in which I am more excited over the costumes than anything else - thare no costumes on that list that I wouldn't want (well unless they were black cloak Task costumes for Harry - doubtful though). Well, the autos are also really exciting, but until we see who the remaining signers are (Random student #34 in Scene 6) I will try not to get too excited  |

Personally, I think the whole set sounds pretty good, particularly the props -- Daily Prophet, Weasley Quidditch tent, Christmas cards (should have some good variants), Sirius letter, and the Irish Quidditch flag.

That might have been from SS though, I can't seem to remember I don't have it readily available either. Maybe that will be in one of the special sets. Seemed strange to have a picture of a costume that was in possession of AB for a set and not use it Maybe Quirrell's trubin will be in the MM set, perhaps. I've been wondering, how will they accomplish the finished Quad card on a normal sized card? I know we'll see it in two or three weeks when Anna, or Lick-O-Rish, or Gimli, or one of the multi-case buyers pulls one, but I still feel like asking the question. Will it end up like the topps sticker autos, in that they will have a much smaller space in which to sign and thus have a much more squashed sig? And then, assuming they don't put the costumes on one side and the sigs on the other (which they very well might), wouldn't the costume bits limit even more the space available for a sig? Hm...just wondering how they'll pull it off I suppose. |

Sara posted about this in the Philly Show thread. Artbox had a sample card on its table. There is one swatch in the center of the card that is divided in to 4 little pie pieces, one for each costume. Then the autos, with the actors picture, one next to each swatch. |

Oh well, doesn't matter, it'll still be a nice card. |

Inkworks have some pretty cool small-swatched cards, and I daresay we'll see some mastery in the W of Oz set with the small swatches, so as long as it's balanced.
Sara in the mock up did the spacing look reasonable?

It probably doesn't leave much room, but I'd rather have that than have the costumes on one side and the autos on the other. The Wizard of Oz set has some auto, prop, and sketch cards that are 3x5. We'll be able to better judge after we see one, but maybe the quad card would benefit from being a larger size.
