It will in a few years and rowling will say "this is the definite harry potter story I wanted to tell" like the überhack she is and beat that dead horse some more.

Throw in a "this was the case all along" line that she doubles back on by season 2 and you've got her.

Because it was the dullest franchise.

I think Rowling was pretty protective of the franchise for a long time?

Anyway I'm sure there eventually will be. The movies were all so condensed and there's enough material for a season in each book

The real question is how Harry Potter was adapted into the dullest franchise 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
"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.

I’m glad you’ve been able to synthesize literary criticism down to the amount of times an author uses a particular phrase. Also I’m pretty sure that’s the most contrarian book tiering I’ve ever had the displeasure to lay my eyes on. It’s as if you took anything on a high school reading list and shoved it in “Shit-tier”, save for Gatsby and Charlottes fucking web.

user save yourself some face, you don't have to eat the pasta if you don't want to.

Nice to see some classic pasta.

I think the problem with the Potter movies is that it's a book series with loads of details that doesn't lend itself too well for movie adaptation. The plot and developments in each book are too slow burn to efficiently work as a movie, and completely rewriting the plot in order to turn it into a better movie script would have been unthinkable, so you ended up with these bland movies that were kind of just a collection of best of -scenes from the books.

So in that sense a tv or animated show might be a better solution, the whole story would need more time than just 8 movies to tell itself properly.

>Responding to pasta seriously
How embarrassing.

Is there a Harry Potter dating sim? Even Avatar had one.

Sadly no
There is witch trainer but it’s just Hermione

I did a quick google search and Stardew Valley creators is doing a Wizarding School sim. Hopefully someone creates a Hogwarts mod with the Harry Potter characters.

I will post this already before anybody else posts.

Holy shit what.

I fucking love Stardew Valley it's everything I wanted after getting tired of Animal Crossing/Harvest Moon, so I'm kind of hyped.

Harry Potter fucking *started* as a comic, but his name was Tim.

Go back to /lit/ and wank over Vox Day or some other right-wing martyr bleeding all over the internet.

Harry Potter is a poor man's Power of Five.

because in the first years after the books became a success, Rowling actually didn't want to have too many things derived from them. She even used to be opposed to having toy lines and stuff like that.
Then she greenlit the movies and the money started to pour like mad, so she changed her mind.
As for after that, it probably has a lot to do with ownership of the adaptation and exploitation rights shared between her, the publisher for the books and WB making it hard to pump more adaptation of Harry Potter itself which is why instead everyone's been trying to turn it into a larger "universe" with separate works that will be less of a pain to deal with in that regard.

>It’s as if you took anything on a high school reading list and shoved it in “Shit-tier”, save for Gatsby and Charlottes fucking web
So pretty much /lit/ spirit for everything.

JK Rowling outright said no to an animated adaptation, explaining the former.

To be fair,no one can keep track of all the pastas posted on Sup Forums.If i had to make a Google search of every post i read here before responding to someone on the Internet,i'll never post anything

Probably because Harry Potter is fucking boring as shit and one of the dullest magical settings ever devised.

DEH

I have a bigger, more general question: what other untouched titles do YOU Sup Forumsmrades want to be adapted into comic form next?

We've got stuff like (Sup Forums's favourite) Artemis Fowl, A Wrinkle in Time, Alex Rider, Percy Jackson - heck, even schlock like Twilight getting this treatment; surely there are plenty other works with potential to mine and improve on through a different visual medium.

Artemis Fowl has a comic

>being such a newfag that you can't tell what's pasta and what isn't

Hi Ladderbro

Don't get your hopes up too quickly. The publishers are doing a game called spellbound. But, Concerned Ape isn't part of ChuckleFish. This is them doing their own thing, like Starbound.

>Ayn Rand
Hey, wai...

>THey're all fiction
KEK

The second Punic war.

I wonder how the story would change if Draco was a chick but she still hated Harry

>Michael Jordan
A/10 perfect addition to a perfect pasta

YES

Money is better from movies, user.
Comics would require her to most likely be tied to a publisher and sign away the rights which she can't do and get "muh money".
Cartoon wouldn't work without the voice actors as that's one of the main selling points of the HP series is the actors.

But with her ignoring her own canon of the mud blood being white and is now black, she might do it if she's poor enough again

>Draco was a chick but she still hated Harry
Hate sex, lots of hate sex

Narnia and His Dark Materials deserve to have their own animated series mroe than Harry Potter.

Identical, except in the earlier years when there would probably have been more stupid catty atempts at getting to each other.

this

but he is opposite

Are those any good?
Got the first one from the library, but I found it pretty dull IIRC.

The Black Company

The Last Unicorn (by a nonshit artist)

The Brothers Lionheart/Ronja Robber's Daughter

This. If I could I would pitch an animated adaptation for His Dark Materials

There would be a shit ton of porn of her.

>a shit ton of porn of her.
a shit ton of Femdom porn of her.

If that were true there wouldn't be shit tons of vydia adaptations.

Literally the same as if Sasuke was a girl
>Lots of sexual tension
>Tsundere to the max
>other girls would have 0 chance
You could make it work, have them like each other during Book 3, break it off in book 4 and then rekindle in the 2nd to last so you can fake kill her off, and then bring her back in the last book

Wasn't Rowling totally against it ever appearing in animation for a long time?

Why did she consider Chris Columbus a superior choice to Spielberg?

Did she like Home Alone and Uncle Buck more than Goonies and Hook?

Eh, at first.

Malfoy is a HUGE pussy tho:

>“I'm Draco Malfoy, I'm Draco, I'm on your side!"
Draco was on the upper landing, pleading with another masked Death Eater. Harry Stunned the Death Eater as they passed: Malfoy looked around, beaming, for his savior, and Ron punched him from under the cloak. Malfoy fell backward on top of the Death Eater, his mouth bleeding, utterly bemused.
"And that's the second time we've saved your life tonight, you two-faced bastard!" Ron yelled.”

‘>The Forest?’ he [Malfoy] repeated, and he didn’t sound quite as cool as usual. ‘We can’t go in there at night – there’s all sorts of things in there – werewolves, I heard.’

>‘But this is servant stuff, it’s not for students to do. I thought we’d be writing lines or something. If my father knew I was doing this he’d –’

>‘And what if whatever hurt the unicorn finds us first?’ said Malfoy, unable to keep the fear out of his voice.’

So likely she would have a "femdom" mask, but would quickly go sub if the partner made any challenge.

Nah, people just join Wizard 101 and hook up with each other instead.

I'd fucking love some old-timey detective novels being made into graphic novels. Albert Campion, Charlie Chan, Nero Wolfe... I know Chan and Wolfe have had comics before, but I'd like some more.

>Complete cunt to Harry in public, while hiding the fact she's his pet in the sack

She said no to an animated movie instead f a live movie which was the better call. A Live movie makes a lot more money and an animated movie would have been a Warner production in 2000-01. So I would not expect it to be remotely watchable. Probably something that does not look too amazing, really diverts from the story, is shortened down to an hour 15 or an hour and a half. And never made enough to merit a sequel.

And that is why she would be best girl

>It's the harry potter series but Malfoy is a blonde be that wants harry's dick, and Voldemort does too and is a hot chick but black haired
>the book is now about a Blonde vs Brunette fight for the dick of the MC

WHY WORLD?! WHY?!

It's easier to strike deals on what's essentially shovelware than it is on something a lot more costly though. Not to mention that WB already have some affiliate studios for game tie-in and stuff like that.

>Voldemort
>not Snape

>not fem Sbape projecting her frustrated crusg on Harry's dad on him

Couldn't get the dick she wanted dick so she has to go after the son. wow thats hot

WB has a fucking animation studio.

>wgynotboth.jpg?
Also you forget the possibliteis of forbidden magic for the sex, that's a big up

>Implying Last Unicorn's comics had a shit artist

Nigger, I'm not opposing the fact that she struck gold with the franchise and keeps branching out, just the hypocrisy of the whole thing. You can be a greedy fuck and avoid being a hypocrite, she can license harry potter sex toys for all I care but pretending that the play or the new movies have any fucking merit or integrity to them whatsoever is ludicrous, despite whatever you may think of her original works.

That and what this user said annoys the fuck out of me.

I kinda want to see genderswapped Ron and Hermione to doze off heavily while they cuddle.

Because it would cheapen the I.P.

Not in terms of quality, but in terms of profitability.

twilight got a comic.
