I am pretty much convinced this is the way WB is going to show us the locket and the ring and that they ignore completely the discriptions from the book.
They have done that very frequent and in many cases I am glad they did, because following the written picture to the letter had resulted in some very drap and dull pictures or situations that just don’t look well.
for instance the schooluniforms with the housecolours are nowhere to be found in the text, instead of that Harry and friend would have looked like blackdressed Mickey Mouses in the Soccerors Apprentice. Not sexy, definately not sexy.
But the locket, which certainly is not the fake locket, looking yellow, either with amber or citrine is a bit of missing the target. Yellow is such a Hufflepuff colour, Slytherin would have use green smaragd or precious stone of that hue.
I also wonder how they gonna play out the “S” from Selwyn, what cause d Harry to stupify Umbridge when there is no ‘S’ on it, only some unrelated alchemic symbols.
Okay, now I know exactly what I want this Christmas, the triwizard champions wands and Lucius Malfoys walking stick, that would make my year. Fluers wand is so cool looking. I like the locket but the ring looks nothing like I pictured it and is that the Deathly Hallows symbol on the ring? I can’t remeber that being on the ring, but I may be wrong.
@Kamion: I do believe that the locket, shown so far, is the “fake” locket. Left by Regulus. I don’t see any sign of a stone, on it [I may have missed it?] In the book, it [the fake Horcrux] is desctibed as NOT having the snake on it…. which is the first thing Harry notices…as well as the size.It would be reasonable that this would be the fake. I am also of the opinion, not knowing how Noble works, that it is taking time, as they want it “just right”.

@jiselle: The Deathly Hallows symbol was the marking that Marvolo said was “Slyherin’s Mark”....he thought it was the Peverel coat of arms. My thought, on the Locket [the “real” one] is that they are taking extra time to make it “just right” KInd of like Tonner and NECA [?] did with the dolls. JMHO

First, that is the fake locket that Regulus left. It doesn’t have Slytherin’s mark on it. Second, isn’t the necklace supposed to have “My Sweetheart” on it. Liked the ring, though. The Deathly Hallows sign looks so cool.
okay there is a tiny descrpition of the locket regulus had Kreacher replace the horcrux with and here it is as is found on page 609 of the american paperback edtion of HBP ” This was neither as large as the locket remebered seeing in the Pensieve, nor were there any markings upon it , no sign of the ornate S that was supposed to be Sytherin’s mark” so the one showninthe calandars and the replica Noble’s has put out fits as the fake horcrux harry and dumbledore get from the cave. , on the Diadem of Ravenclaw it isn’t in HBP as Dumbledore did not it had been found by Voldemort, so he never mentioned it specifically, just that it was highly likely that Voldemort had found something of either ravenclaw’s or Gryffindor’s and that the only know relic of Gryffindor was safe, it being his sword. as for the ring i pictured the stone as being black as well and the book bear me out on this , from page 207 in the american packerback edtionof HBP ” For a moment harry thought Gauntwas making an obscene hand gesture, but then he realized that he was showing Ogden the ugly, BLACK-STONED ring he was wearing on his middle finger” WB loused it up as that ring is neither a black stone nor is it in anyway ugly, although they got the metal corret it is supposed to be gold, i do not blame Noble’s for it as they could only replicate what WB had made for the movie

Okay the ring i can kinda deal with…but as the person above said…BLACK!
i kind of imagined it chunkier and less rigid and pointy looking…
BUT THE LOCKET! what the hell! If this is the replica then I’m totally fine…if this is the proper thing WB need to maybe read some books at a certain point…maybe…i dunno?
Where is the S? harry is supposed to look at the snakes and know what to do? its not even round! the locket on the front of the adult DH was perfect and exactly how i pictured it…this stuff is just all wrong…
I’ve never complained or anything…but can u do something right for a change wb?
oh come on now, everyone who's whining! i wouldn't ever buy stuff like this, cos it's pretty tacky to begin with, but there's no reason to complain that the products don't match the book's description! let the artists have a little vision of their own.
If you want a sweet-heart necklace like Ron's go to a market or LizziDukes *Other establishments are available!*-----Cheaper too!
I thought the ring would be more like a large jet stone in a Fat setting. Again make one tweek costume jewellery or something.
P.S. How good at marketing are they if people are commenting that they hate the designs, yet are willing to buy them anyway? Genius! Bottle it quick!

That is the worst locket ever. They've got it all backwards. The eye thing is supposed to be on the INSIDE of the locket, those incompetent fools. Maybe they put it on the outside more for show since it does seem to come in a display case, and I guess they rather have it displayed closed that way. I really wanted to see a locket with the green crystal S on the front of it. Then it would have been cool to put the eye on the inside so t would have a cool effect when you open it up. Very disappointed with that piece. I think I might have to go make my own... :/
LOL @ the person who keeps writing "neckless"... ^_^ Very cute.
The ring looks awesome, but much less crudely made than I originally thought. The book says that it is crudely made. This is the one used in the movie. It still looks cool. The extra detail is the only complaint.
The thing about the ring, though, is that each time I look at the picture I think it looks like a piece of slate/blackboard with the Hallows sign written on it in chalk. I think that’s what is making it look so cheapy to me.
"Is this necklace for sale?" she asked, pausing beside a glass-fronted case.[br]"If you've got one and a half thousand Galleons," said Mr. Borgin coldly.[br]"Oh -- er -- no, I haven't got quite that much," said Hermione, walking on.
