Yeah, and I can't believe Warners rejected that Chamber of Secrets poster in favor of bland shit like this...

Hey folks, just a heads up that some additional signed mini prints have been made available. I placed an order assuming it was a reprint of the signature as well, but the owner just let me know they were signed by Drew. They aren't cheap, but owning a number of them, I can say the print quality is great and they look very sharp. I keep them in a 13 x 19 art portfolio.

Of course the MOTU is sold out.

Just a thought about that poster. Struzan's painted imagery is too reminiscent of STAR WARS. The Harry Potter sequels were marketed to Harry Potter's fanbase which identified those three actors with the roles, so the poster used put photos of the actors front and center since they were much more important to the franchise at that point than any other element that could have been dramatized in the poster. Whereas when STAR WARS first came out, the three leads were virtual unknowns.

Children couldn't associate a painting of Radcliffe, Watson and Grint as their characters over photos? what?

As opposed to the household super famous actors when Harry Potter came out?
