Order of the Phoenix card set chatter...

Despite the headline being blurred, it's pretty clear that he says "he who must not (be named)"...ill have to keep my eyes open for that one.

[Part of the headline is blurred out on the card.  There must have been some contractual reason for Warner Bros. to require this, maybe because the headline was revealing part of the plot that they didn't want released prior to the movie (which is why update sets are produced).  I'm a bit baffled about why Artbox would produce two Daily Prophets for the set when they could have had one for OOTP and the other for OOTPU.

It's not as if WB are giving away the plot, the book has been out for ages so what happens isn't exactly new to people! 

maybe the illiterate.

No, it wouldn't be giving away the book plot, but as we've seen, the movie often changes some of the details.  WB is very propriety about its licenses and images.  I'm just saying that Artbox wouldn't voluntary blur part of an image on a card -- they had to have been told by WB to do so.  Had this prop been held for the update set, the image probably wouldn't not have been blurred.

There are plenty of people who are interested in the movies, not the books.  Not everyone wants to read them, although I personally think one can get more from the movies by reading the books first.  I've read all of the books multiple times, yet I still get aggravated when important info is left out of the movies.  My husband hasn't read the books (FYI - he is not illiterate) and enjoys the movies, but I often have to provide him with details from the books so that certain movie plot aspects make sense.

i didn't mean to be rude with my comment.

it is very true what you say about books and movies.  stuff does get left out which maybe should be included, i would be quite happy to sit through a 4 hour movie of the HP books, but i'm sure younger fans would not, or indeed the older fan.

[kbmum]

I think extended versions should be released on DVD.  I was just reading online yesterday that the Pensieve scene with Snape and Harry was originally going to include Lily, along with James and Sirius, but they had to cut Lily from the scene.  I'd love to see that kind of stuff on the DVD.

Well, you can refer back to the replies to your post with the same question about the delivery of your 3D boxes.

As for the postal strike, I don't think anyone on the forum can answer how it will affect various aspects of delivery, other than to say it will probably take longer.

Thanks Cindy. Yes your Parcelforce bill will be sent (first class) which will now be delayed by the strike.

I'm sorry about that Potter as lots of us in the UK got our cases a week ago

Yeah yeah, rub it in... just because you have Chris as your supplier

[gimli]

Well I do try my best to get Potter cards here as soon as I can

I just can't wait myself so everyone who buys from me benefits from my obsession

For those who have seen the movie, can anyone verify whether the picture on the card appears in the movie?

Could it be that the "blurring" is due to the pictures in the DP are in motion? And maybe the Headline was a moving banner type of headline. Oh well, who knows....

[Bryanjs14]

I think it is blurring just because WB said to blur it.

The top of the Paper where the Prophet logo is easily visble, and the part that is blurred contains no photos, it just says in big bold print HE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED HAS RETURNED (or something like that)

The P9 card is the Ministry Munchies prop.  What is this and when is it seen in the movie?

[Bryanjs14]

lol I thought that since I pulled mine.

I have to imagine when Harry goes to the Ministry there are people walking around carrying it.

[kbmum]

I wondered if it's a Weasley product designed to irritate Umbridge.

[HPfamily]

Maybe someone carried it into the Hogs Head after shopping in Hogsmeade.

Talk about slow...I only just noticed that there are no film cell cards 

[The Razzer]

if you mean the CFC numbered film cell cards, then there are these cards inserted in the OOTP set.

there's loads on ebay to take a look at.  or do you mean something else??

[ricks]

Does anyone remember when the Umbridge’s Progress Report (P6) appeared during the film? I just remember Umbridge asking a bunch of questions and tapping on her clipboard...

[LikORish-Spider]

The talking letter that Harry got at the Dursleys informing him he was suspended would have made great Prop Cards.

The PROMO sets of four come in the following colors:
Gold
Silver
Green
Pale Blue (Looks almost like silver, very subtle color)

It could have been on the clipboard, and "used" in the film but only for a single frame, or the scene might be on the cutting room floor. I know of one card set where an actor signed loads of autograph cards before the studio cut all of his scenes out of the film.

Actually, there were a few places in the cards where I thought they provided information from the books that weren't in the movie. Not to mention the character name given for Jim McManus' autograph, which wasn't in the movie or the movie credits or confirmed by the books or Jo ...

There were quite a few costume cards with "material used in the making of" instead of "worn by." Perhaps there weren't enough worn items available early, to cut into 8000 swatches?

ok, so im not slow, just blind  i havent noticed a single one on ebay but im not looking too hard at the moment 

[ferdinand_the_yak]

I pulled two CFCs so they are definitely in there

Now I have a question: for those of you who have a /100 Death Eater mask prop, what kind of material is it? I got the impression that it was some sort of fabric when watching the movie.
