2 of the new images are of Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) while the rest are some of the new members of the cast including Xenophilius Lovegood (Rhys Ifans), Albert Runcorn (David O’Hara), Bathilda Bagshot (Hazel Douglas), Rufus Scrimgeour (Bill Nighy), and Gregorovitch (Rade Šerbedžija).
No new images of Emma Watson or Rupert Grint I’m afraid fans but if you want them, click here to see yesterday’s images!

Seven new cast promo images from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 have been released, and show Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) looking more grown up than ever before. Along with the boy wizard himself, the new stills also focus on the characters of Xenophilius Lovegood (Rhys Ifans), Albert Runcorn (David O'Hara), Bathilda Bagshot (Hazel Douglas), Rufus Scrimgeour (Bill Nighy), and Gregorovitch (Rade Serbedzija).
Harry looks more worn than we've seen him before, thanks to the events of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and an upcoming epic battle at Hogwarts. So, Potter fans, is this how you pictured the characters? Does Harry look badass enough? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 is in theaters from November 19th, with Part 2 released on July 15th, 2011.
