Emma Watson’s IMAX Boob Job

Hi, I'm a digitally altered Harry Potter movie poster

The augmentation is subtle, but if you look carefully at the poster for the IMAX version of “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” you can see that Hermione’s boobs are a bit larger. Though come to think of it, everything seems bigger on that IMAX screen. And while the Warner Bros. marketing department felt compelled to alter the size of Emma Watson’s breasts, they don’t seem to have fiddled with Harry Potter’s pecker, but from what we hear from the folks who have seen the London production of “Equus,” Mr. Radcliffe doesn’t need any below-the-belt enlargement.

Update: According to this interesting analysis, the difference is actually caused by the 3-D camera used to shoot the image in the IMAX poster.

This isn’t the first time a movie studio has altered parts of a woman’s body in a movie poster of course. Julia Roberts has claimed that the woman in the “Pretty Woman” poster isn’t her, but rather, a body double. And Keira Knightley was abuzz that her bust was digitally enhanced in the “King Arthur” poster which you can see below.

But body parts aren’t always made larger. In Kelly Clarkson’s case, her derriere was made smaller, or at least more round. Check out the two different versions of the “From Justin to Kelly” movie poster below, and notice how the version on the right has had some extra curves added to her waistline.

But the most egregious example in recent memory has to go to TIME magazine, who didn’t alter the size of shape of anything, but who, on June 27, 1994, published the same photo of O.J. Simpson on their cover as Newsweek. With one slight modification: the color of his skin.
