We'll probably get one after the Magic Beasts films finish and Rowling starts needing more cash.

she's a fucking billionaire who's been getting royalties and micromanaging her franchise for a decade, why would she need more money

>why would anybody need more money
Is this a real question?

didn't the magic beasts movie came years ago? are you telling me there's more? why in the fuck?

*why would anyone need more money when they're a billionaire

reading comprehension

>he thinks rich people are ever satisfied

Yes, user. Billionaires among all people are well known for not wanting to get richer.

There are 5 planned.

...

but why, it makes no sense to me

There is a cartoon from the early 2000's called UBOS, which is kind of a clone of Harry Potter.

Rowling was weirdly protective of her mediocre children's series.

That's why you're not a millionaire

Because with money comes power. And given her increasing role in politics, it seems she will be wanting more.
And I'm sure the Labour Party is enjoying her 1M donations.

Can someone explain why so many people on tumblr and women of that mindset love this series so much? It became nothing but relationshit and basically forgot all about what made it magical after the 3rd movie.

So it isn't Harry Potter.

fish and chips covered in cocaine are expensive

>why so many women love this series so much
>It became nothing but relationshit
You answered your own question

A better question would be why anyone would further be involved in one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises. Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though r-right

"No!"

The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

it's because all of the shipping and of course the whole witchcraft thing is supposed to be empowering for women

Fuck off

>not good at googling
>so sad I can't find the anime
>still sad it doesn't exist because even a bad harry potter anime would still be fun to watch


If Rowling falls into obscurity enough she might legitimately pursue it herself, hell she still might if her fans insist on it.

There's so much money in the franchise. The last few movies were utter garbage and everyone still goes gaga for it (I hate them and I hate the final book but those days I feel like watching the series or reading it I don't skip them)

lel, that pic triggers /lit/ a lot

Good, you're here.

It lost all of the magic and everything that made the wizarding world cool, whats the fucking point then. Why do women like such pointless and cringey drama instead of magical beasts and wizard fights?

you can watch little witch academia instead

Rowling holds the rights with an iron grip and everything has to go through her in guessing either no one made a pitch or she said no

>it's because all of the shipping
Women are so fucking stupid when it comes to that. They ruined AT and recently star vs because of that bullshit
>and of course the whole witchcraft thing is supposed to be empowering for women
Fucking how? Witches are supposed to be cool and ugly and violent and evil, these women only like pink things and pacifism and being obnoxious activists

>Shit Tier: To Kill A Mockingbird
>God Tier: Atlas Shrugged

Unironically neck yourself like they were going to do to Tom Robinson.

>This copypasta
>That pic

I haven't been to /lit/ since I had to argue that Tolkien was an inferior writer to Pratchett in some aspects, but I imagine they would not like this at all. Hell, I don't.

based armond white

Yea if you don't like a coherent world, or magic with dignity, or characters with more than one defining trait, or men

Rowling specifically shot down the idea of cartoons and comics because she wanted the series to be "for everyone" AKA she didn't think it'd make any money in those mediums. She said this shit years ago though and given her recent behavior she'll probably change her mind one day.

well harry potter also lacks of everything you just mentioned except for men in the lead role

You can't just conjure solid gold bricks and she still needs to finish the servants' quarters for her mansion

>coherent world
Oh, user.

She can't hate on Corbyn leftists without money.

Who handled their franchise better: Rowling or Lucas?

Don't forget Harold Bloom who wrote the second half of that

So far rowling she made more money than Lucas and star wars is a bastard of what it used to be. The original trilogy is better than Harry Potter though, but all the fallow ups are really damaging the brand in the long run.

My last semester of undergrad before going into grad school was a Harry Potter course
It was fun to analyze the books since I hadn't read them since I was a kid, but damn did the last book just kinda fall flat.
I think I could've done without the epilogue too because I'm one of those faggots that think Harry should have ended up with Luna, but whatever.
I think we agreed that she hit her stride as a writer halfway through the 4th book, and it started declining about halfway into the 7th book and she just couldn't get it back.

It was all she had at the time.

Goddamn I loved that game. Actually most of the Potter games where you explored Hogwarts were comfy as fuck
>youtube.com/watch?v=cQ38d5903BY

I love this pasta because it's so easy to segue into it. The first line is always different.

Because witches were persecuted so they want to break out and be a witch that doesn't get persecuted.

Explain British politics to me? I thought Rowling was on the left. Is Corbyn more center-left / civic nationalist or something?

I only read it for the marauders because I thought the idea of being able to turn into an animal and do cool shit with my friends once a month would be a dream.

they dont know that Rowling is one of the few Billionaires who donated enough money to charity that they are now merely multi-millionaires according to Forbes.

I think at one point even Radcliffe said he thought endgame was Harry/Luna not Harry/suspicious lookalike of his mom

Is that pic supposed to be wrong in nearly every conceivable way?

Only the movies. The show is fucking shit.

I'm on tumblr and people have turned on HP and mock Rowling mostly

Reminder that James was best boy.

Imagine a Harry Potter game built in the GTAIV or GTAV engine. That'd be neat.

Who WOULDN'T wanna bone Luna, anyways?

James was a dickhead who regularly assaulted anyone who annoyed him, but because Dumbledore is a shit headmaster he let it slide
And Dippet was shit too if he was headmaster at the time

Rowling is centre left (or at least a Blairite) so give some money to help the poor. Corbyn is further left. Not quite communist but on the socialist side of things.

Hogwarts pic related?

>Women are so fucking stupid when it comes to that. They ruined AT and recently star vs because of that bullshit
Yeah user, because men's obsession with Star's feet/armpits and Marco crossdressing isn't nearly as toxic as teenage girls drawing pictures of some characters together.

Well it also makes sense because Luna had more character development in 2 and 1/3 books than Ginny had in 5.
The soulless ginger had absolutely no personality and she deserved to be with Neville
Fuck I'm autistic

Next one in November. They story revolves around Grindelwald (The German fuck Dumbledore beat up). The SJW crowd have their Tits in a twist because of Depp having a role.

Even better.

Here, have Cho for your efforts.

She was smart to. Limiting the HP media makes any new content seem like an " event" to it's fanbase.

I have no idea how the general public has any energy left for franchises where every release is an event, but it keeps happening.

The energy dies when it becomes a yearly thing like Star Wars. Look how the hype leading into 7 compared to 8

Comparing their fat selfish selves, who hate things like sexuality or things like blood sacrifices, is an insult to all actual witches

Think about it like Star Wars movies. Within the past several years we've become so inundated with SW releases that their plans for a new movie every year has essentially been met with ridicule from the more cynical fans among us. Or something like that.

Maybe a better example would be Cartmanland.

The only one he’s shown actually assualting is Snape who bullied other kids himself.

That's kind of my point. The more cynical of us point out that there's nothing special about releasing a new movie every couple of months, but on a wider scale it still gets treated like a huge deal. Same thing with a lot of marvel movies.

Why, did she accidentally say something that they perceive as sexist?

user, no one outiside of diehards and those who read buzzfeed liked TLJ

lifting someone up by one ankle and showing off their undies to everyone who cares to look for nearly a half hour isnt assault?

Ship drama ruined season 3, youd know that if you watched the show

Never underestimate the power of normies, I wager. They will always find a way to disappoint you. Just look at everything related to politics within the past ten to fifteen years.

I'd wager it's the too-little-too-late realization that Harry Potter was nothing to get excited over, and all of their WE ARE DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY BUT IN REAL LIFE showboating was naught but nostalgia.

>slut!
Ahh Crookshanks, you are by far the best thing ever in this series of pictures

>Women are so fucking stupid
FTFY

Turns out they were done by Babs Tarr. Didn't know that until just now, looking for the source to see if they ever made any more.

I admitted he assaulted Snape in that post user. It’s not like Snape was some innocent dude though. The kid was hanging out with teens who were sending mudbloods to the hospital.

ah wait, I fucked up and misread that.
No. Still I'm right because its mentioned that Snape merely got the most direct attention of their ire. Others suffered as well, just more roundabout 'pranks' that would make the Carrie moment of dumping pig's blood on an unpopular girl seem tame. Keep in mind that the twins were considered 'tame' by comparison to the marauders. And they used unlicensed and untested potions to turn people into canaries.

It still made a billion dollars.

because thats about what it costs for a lot of people in every major nation to see it exactly once

>Never underestimate the power of normies

You're also dealing with the marketing teams and budgets of WB and Disney to promote franchises they've sunk billions into.

>implying I don't
>implying I give a shit about shipping or even pay attention to it
Just watch the damn cartoon and enjoy it for what it is. Fans and their shipping don't seriously affect the way the show is run or written. You think the creators are actually polling numbers or sitting on Tumblr and thinking "Hmm, look at all this ship art we better make X pairing come true instead of what we originally intended to happen!".

So Rowling is sensible? Huh.

Wasn’t James being an ass to in hogwarts the sole cause of snake being a cunt to Harry except when he needed to help him?

what the friggen hell am I looking at?

Moore.

Alan Moore being the kind of edgelord to be like "What if Harry Potter did a school shooting and raped McGonnagal?"

I just finished century what’s Alan’s problem with Harry Potter?

I can’t understand what you’re trying to say.

Yes. And supposedly he was like that to a lot of other people, Snap was merely the only one to actually know who did it and look James in the eye while James 'pranked' him

Alan Moore does not like HP apparently

Honestly, all Moore does these days is act on some arrogant need to prove SOMEONE wrong about something

Doesn't he actually believe in magic? Maybe he found HP insulting or some shit.

Edgy Moore

Because he's the largest figure in terms of media from 21st century. He, as the Antichrist, represents Moore's distaste that franchises dominate pop culture.

As far as I know he's never talked about it in an interview, so who's to say if he really " hates" Harry Potter. But for the role in LOEG he's the perfect fit..

I hate the fact that the guy who keeps reposting this doesn't use the version with clifford on it.

She's also a complete hypocrite.
She goes around telling middle class people that they should house "Syrian" "Refugees", while her multimillion dollar mansion sits almost completely empty.

Don Quixote is a masterpiece. So, are most books by Dostoyevsky.

Im saying the cartoon is ruined by the relationship drama that took over the actual cartoon, ya dumb fuck.
