Fair use rationale for Lord Voldemort[edit]

This image, Riddleinhogwarts.JPG, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. No free alternative can exist given the likeness of Voldemort is a trademark and thus protected;
2. It is a low resolution copy of a movie poster;
3. The image was released to the media to promote the movie in querstion, Harry Potter 2;
4. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the movie or the book in any way;
5. Copies could not be used to make illegal copies of it, because it is too low-resolution;
6. As JK Rowling refrains from depicting Voldemort / Tom Riddle in her books, no original pix of both are possible, but a picture of his movie version would greatly enhance the article
7. no free alternatives seem to exist
