Airbrush as magic wand in ‘Potter’ posters Anyone creeped out by PosterWire’s investigation of Hermione’s breast size from one Harry Potter poster to the next should try reading some of the fan fiction. That stuff will keep you up nights. Sure, someone seems to have mucked around with the IMAX version of the Order of the Phoenix poster. But it’s hardly the first instance of digital augmentation. The best-known case might be Keira Knightley, who was enhanced to promote King Arthur. Granted, Emma Watson is 17, so overtly sexualizing her makes some people a little nervous, and rightfully so. We’ll leave that to Dan Radcliffe, as portrayed in Ricky Gervais’s Extras. —Posted by David Kiefaber

» Emma Watson Gets Breast Augmentation For 3D Movie Poster from Adrants
While not as dramatic an increase, proportionately, as Keira Knightley received for her King Arthur movie poster appearance, Harry Potter's Hermione, played by 17 year old Emma Watson has been given a cup size increase for the IMAX 3D... [Read More]

it actually looks like the poster on the left is the augmented version. look at hermione's face in particular. it looks like she's had an airbrush job to even out features and make her look like more of a covergirl on a magazine.

in the photo on the right (the larger breasted imax version, haha), her face looks a lot more natural -- like maybe they hadn't hit it with the photoshop job.

true, i guess there have been cases where ladies have been augmented on posters to look "better" in whatever respect, but in this case i think it's more likely that the left poster is the augmented one. . . while the right one is pre-touchup.

They look to be two different pictures to me. Her hair is less fluffy in the left one and the guy behind her seems to be looking in a different direction.

I think David Kiefaber should get a life rather than obsessing and scrutinising Emma Watson's breasts. Yes, the pictures are microscopically different, but so is the contrast and colour saturation!

So WHAT? Emma is eventually grow up, whether ANY of us like it or not.
So let her grow - and unless SHE objects, let the studio 'help' her if it will help the movie!
IF Emma objects, then pull the posters.

Geez, guys; get a life.

maybe it looks bigger because its in 3d

OK the thing is the right image is actually the right eye view of the picture..this is how 3D is created...this is just both the views..u can create an anaglyph with this picutre and it perfectly works..
