It makes perfect sense. They're going in the ORIGINAL order of the books, not the new order that puts them chronologically. Plus, H&HB (while one of my favorite books) doesn't have much impact on the rest of the overall story. If they had to chose one or more to leave out of the series, H&HB is easily the first pick. In fact, it's the only one that they could leave out without impacting any of the others.
As for the teaser poster... eh. Could be fanmade, could be real, who knows? Something like that would be easy to whip up in a PhotoShop, but it's also conceivable that the higher-ups involved in promotion don't want to reveal too much too soon. We've got a long wait until this movie comes out.
