Clemence Poesy's auto has to be one of the worst in the history of Potter cards. She ought to be ashamed to pass this off as a signature. Artbox should have chucked it back at her.

... just the same as we had with Sean Bean (as per FOTR) or 'SB' (by the time we got to TTT)

There are two signers in the Charmed series that did the same thing. I hate it when they do that.

[LikORish-Spider]

Hey! At least she got the letters right.

[ladeeda]

In some ways, I'm quite pleased with her signature, but that's just me I suppose.  because, at least there's a more valid reason for me to buy that card, because she changes her signature everytime she signs.

Couldn't agree more with you on this one - truly dreadful! 

Maybe shes just a bad writer? 

Nope, just lazy.
She's signed before & those autos look nothing like what she'd done this time around. 

[portlaw]

She obviously thinks shes good enough to just be lazy, nobody is good enough to do that 

[richbarb94]

maybe shee got advice from gary oldman, lol. his signatures are horrable.

[Gallifrey]

Maybe she didn't like her card this time around.   

[Nienna]

  yeah, the Oldman autos are dire and as for her not liking the cards she's given to sign - well, I'm sure she was paid enough to put pen to card so the 'liking' part of it isn't important!
What's worse is the amount people are having to pay to get her auto - ridiculous!

The top card is the P1 I pulled and the bottom card is a P9 I won as a second chance offer when the winning bidder reneged on the transaction.



Has anyone seen any photos of the Daily Prophets, such as screen shots from the movie?  I'd like to try to locate from where the P9 swatch was cut.

Why is some of the words blurred on the daily prophet prop card?

This isn't the first time this has happened.  The cards are produced, and sometimes released, in advance of the movie's release date.  WB controls the content of the card sets and will not allow the release of certain plot information until after the movie comes out.  In this case, words were blurred because Warner Bros. was concerned about revealing plot info before the movie's release.  You'll also notice that the first base set released for each HP movie doesn't have a complete story line.  The update set is then released to fill in the blanks (and, of course, to make money for Artbox).

Really? Silly me. I thought it was because the Daily Prophet was a wizard paper and the text was changing so when the muggle camera took pictures of the moving text (to put on cards) it became blurry.

Especailly since the sets are usually so late that the movie has already been released.

Nice cards Cindy!

Did you all see the drawings from Lovegood's home that is ending soon? I can not believe how high it is in price I assume it is because people think it is part of the deathly hallows symbol, but I am not so sure. What does everyone else think?

Ha, ha.

Yes, the sets are usually late (usually due to WB being slow to approve the cards).  However, the sets are planned in advance of the movie release and WB keeps tight control over all of the images.

I don't know if a forum member bought it or not, but I think that was a lot of money for that card. I would have to see the movie again to get a better look at his drawing to know for sure if it was from the actual symbol or not.

Looking at the picture on the card, the APEX of the triangle is the only place that it could come from (no curves seen).
The vertical line to the APEX (in the Swatch, APEX pointing down) goes beyond the APEX and is on the other side when compared to the Apex on the drawing on the card itself (enlarge the card to 400). To realise/realize this, turn the Swatch upside down. Also, the angle seems bigger (75 degrees on Swatch vs 60ish on the drawing). But then, I am known to be wrong
Swatch as it is:

Swatch Flipped Left to Right

Drawing

I see what you are saying, but it could be it. It is too hard to tell with that card image. It does look like in the real drawing that one side has more space than the other, just like in the swatch, but I can't really tell if the line extends past the triangle or not, like it does in the swatch. Interesting. Thanks for the great pictures though!
