Anybody else remembering this SNL sketch?
Um, how can you tell? That part of the left poster is lost in lack of contrast, and on the right, it’s covered by the title.
John Mace, they both enlarged her breasts and slimmed her waist. Drag another window in front of the image to get a vertical line on your screen, and compare both to her facial features. Her hair is a bigger difference, though, I think.
I believe they call it “Graphic Blandishment”.
I’d be pissed too, if someone tried to make me wear a bikini top like that. Holy pinched nipples, Batman!
Oh, about Hermione - she’s about the right age for growth spurts, eh?
That is my favorite credit.
Her hair is a major difference on the I-Max poster, all windblown and away from her face. It almost looks like one of those celebrity fakes, in which a face was photoshopped on to a nude photo. Or so I’m told.
With Hermione’s magical exploding bosoms, Harry’s package would HAVE to be bigger. I mean, duh.

Unless, of course, Harry had a thing for wands, if you know what I mean.

Ugh. Good writing, bad execution. Is that SNL or a high school play?

I wouldn’t guarantee that wysiwyg.
So she stuffs?
That King Arthur poster comparison was a bit disconcerting- in the “flat” one, Knightly looks almost concave. She isn’t that flat-chested, is she? I seem to remember some boobage on her…
I’ve studied those [del]breasts[/del] posters side by side [del]at great length[/del] for a while and I’ve [del]come[/del] arrived at the conclusion:
They’re two different completely different shots of Emma.
Look at her hair. In the left photo, her hair is hanging down; in the right, it’s being blown out by a breeze.
Look at her shoulder. The pattern of light and shadow doesn’t match from one photo to the other.
Look at her face. On the left, her philtrum is in the light, as is the underside of her nose. On the right, not so much.
Look at Neville’s collar. He is clearly standing at a different angle in the right-hand photo.
But taken together, you see something peculiar. In the left image, her body is shaded but her face is well-lit. On the right, her face is shaded but her body is better lit. My guess: her right arm was probably at her hip or something, visible in both photos, and it was edited out of the final version of each poster by two different touch-up artists. Whether they changed her waistline in either photo, I couldn’t say, but who knows? Maybe they didn’t have to.
Fish is right. It’s two different photos. Tear your eyes away from the boobs for a few seconds, and look around the rest of the group. The most obvious detail is Neville’s pose, but there are others. The photog probably took the same shot a dozen times with slight changes in lighting and such. In the shot on the right, he clicked the shutter when Hermione had just inhaled. I don’t think there’s any more to it.
Hell, the slit in her skirt is even different!
(Made ya look!)
Nah, it’s the same photo. You can do all that stuff in Photoshop et al, even the angle-changing and wilder hair. [ETA] There are too many points at which the two versions are precisely the same.

She’s not concave, but average sized boobie will not look their best in something like that.

You can change many of those things in Photoshop, yes. The question is why anybody would bother spending Photoshop time to slightly adjust the angle of Neville’s collar. Breasts, waistline, hair, yes — collar? That is such a trivial change that it makes me seek a simpler explanation.
Ok, so I downloaded the image from that site and then in photoshop, I was able to layer one image on top of the other.
They seem to be the same photograph or else Emma hit the exact same facial expression at the same angle to the camera.
However,
Her body has been sculpted. Cut in at the belly, expanded at the breast, (more side and top) and her hair has been extended.
It could be a composite, though. Say they had one photo where they liked everything but another photo where Hermione’s face was better. It’s extremely simple to put the two images on top of each other and use masks to have the face from one but the rest of the photo from another. I do agree that some things have clearly been retouched (like her hair and her face) but I could see it as a combination, that the two photos are not the exact same version, that one might have elements from another photo. (I frequently take several photos in rapid succession to make sure that I get one that isn’t blurry or with eyes closed or whatever. It’s common for me to later morph parts of one with parts of another to get the best of everything.)
