Seeking PoA poster

Hi. I'd like to acquire a Harry Potter poster, if I can source it. I haven't been able to find it for sale anywhere on various movie poster sites, nor on EBay ( Read more... )

It's a black and white newspaper ad, but with photoshop trickery some added colour. It was never a poster as far as I know.

Ah! That would explain why I can't find it as a poster to purchase! :-(

Thanks for the help.

In all the years in this fandom, I don't ever remember seeing this picture before, nor a poster like it.

I have quite a diverse flist, ie, not all of them are H/Hr shippers (which I'm proud of!), and if you would let me, I can cross post this post on my lj, to see if anyone has seen it, or has access to it, however you must unlock it. Let me know. :)

It's a particularly attractive picture, I've always thought. My actual copy of it on my PC - I don't remember where I got it from - is a bit larger, but with German text.

A couple of other people have replied here stating that the picture is from a newspaper advertisement, which would explain why I haven't been able to find it anywhere to buy. Still, you never know these days ... memorabilia like this can turn up in multiple shapes and forms. So if you'd care to do me the favour of cross-posting my request I'd be only too grateful, thank you!

I *think* I've unlocked it, but I'm not completely sure ... this would be only the third blog entry I've ever created on livejournal. It took me ages just trying to work out how to do my first ever inclusion of an image and lj-cut!

Cheers, and thanks!

It is a news paper ad so the quality is crap. This is the only one I can find right now:

As you could see from my image my copy had the text in German ... nice to see what it actually means in English!

Thanks for your help, I appreciate your taking the time.

Yeah, I went through that search a couple of years ago after I saw the image online. An ad that ran in newspapers and no color version to be found.

I like the suggestion of prevailing on some of our talented artists to try and colorize this one, maybe Photoshop out some of the text.

Oh, lookie, you have an icon made from that image!!!

I know I've seen it around as one or two icons, including one that's already colourised, which I think I saw a month or so ago on someone's post. I may have even asked "where did you get the icon?" in a comment but I never got an answer back.
