Empire, one the worlds most popular magazines, contains the upcoming film Harry Potter 7 part 1 on the front cover.
We see by his stance, with his wand equipped, that he is ready for battle and the evil ahead. We can also see shattered glass pieces scattered around him with images of his best friends and his archenemy, Lord Voldemort. We can see by the shattered glass effect that friendships are at stake, and may be lost during the event of the film. We can also see from the shattered glass that his friends are following the same status as his enemy, which means some deception could take place in the film.
Lastly, Lord Voldemorts eyes are facing towards Harry's friends, which could mean that he is after them before he reaches his main target, Harry. This shows that the film may contain Harry's friends being captured before he does, and it's up to him to rescue the savior of his beloved friends, the ones he's spent the last 7 years of education and his life with.

This is the front cover of the Harry Potter 7 part 1 video game for Xbox 360. It is a mid-action long shot, we can see straight away that Harry, the main character, is going to be faced with a very powerful enemy. We can see this from Harry's attacking stance, and the faded eyes at the top of the picture, portraying an angry glare and he looks like he wants to cause havoc or cause harm to Harry.
The fact that Harry is running through the woods shows that his trouble is never ending, and that when he does reach the end, he has to face his archenemy if he wishes to overcome the evil thae has been following him.
We can also see from the dark and dull colours that the game will include events of an evil and corrupt nature.

Here in is this poster we see a long shot of the trio looking very cautious and worried , this shows the audience that they expecting something bad to happen. We can see from the slight glow around them that they are honorable, innocent, and are set out to defeat the evil ahead. The tag on the poster is 'There's no place to hide' and the trio show this very well. They're facial expressions show that they are not safe, and that indeed there is no where they hide.
Their dress code is very formal, and shows the audience that they are growing up. It could also mean that they have been interrupted from an important social event because of the evil forces attacking them, or they think someone is after them. This is where the tag on the poster relates to the trio once again, they thought they were safe at social gathering, but in reality, no where is safe for them.

Another current poster used for the new Harry Potter 7 part 1 film. It is an extreme long shot of Snape and a medium shot of Harry, and personally in contrast to the other posters, this one shows a little bit more about what the may contain, because of the other posters being quite basic.
We can see from the light behind Harry's body and head, that it gives him a halo effect to show the audience that he is the protagonist, and he is the character that is going attempt or succeed in saving the reality around him. If we look in the background we can see the antagonist (Snape) hiding in the shadows, dressed in black, looking at Harry. This gives off the effect that he is the evil bringer, and the target or enemy that Harry has to face.
We can also see from this movie poster that there are nothing but dark and ill-lighted colours used, which tells the audience that Harry will be encouting several problems, and that things will not be positive in this film.

This is another one of the current Harry Potter 7 Part 1 film posters. Despite it being a very basic, as it is just a very close up shot of the face of the main character, it also gives away an awful lot about the film. We can see the a slight glimmer from the stubble hair around his cheek, chin, above and below his lips. The stubble represents the fact that Harry (the main character) has now grown up, and is turning into an adult. The lighting in this picture is mostly dark, apart from 1 half of Harry's face. The darkness portrays the sense of evil and shows the audience that disastrous things are going to happen in the events of this film. We also see that half of Harry's face is lit and half is dark, this gives the audience an insight to the film that Harry may have a dark side to his personality, and this recent film may well present that to the audience.

This is one of the current posters for the film ‘Harry Potter and the deathly hallows Pt 1’. It is a medium still image of harry, and he looks very scared and cautious. He is looking over his shoulder with his wand equipped and looks as if he is ready for battle. The colours used in the picture are very dark and gloomy, and portray the evil and fear this film will contain. The caption on the poster is ‘Nowhere is safe ’ and there is blood splatter at the bottom of the poster meaning that the film series has changed from a friendly children’s film to a blood shedding thriller. The use of the clouds fading from light sky to a thunder sky portrays the image that things are going to turn from good to bad very quickly and that trouble is ahead.

They didn't want to stop making money just by launching the films, the harry potter merchandise range is huge, one of the most popular products being replica wands. This picture shows Harry himself in a medium mid-action shot with the wand in action in one of the Harry Potter films, then next to the picture, a picture of the replica wand itself. This attracts the attention of the buyer.

We can also see by the immaculate wand detail that this product is recommended more for the die hard fans as they prefer quality when buying replica's as it may be something they keep for life.

We can also see by Harry's facial expression that he is dominant and in control, which influences the buyer as it gives them that sense of power.
