JK Rowling was very shrewd with rights negotiations, it’s actually impressive for someone with so little industry experience when she started. Basically she made sure the books got adapted right into movies, and she won’t just sign off on any old thing
> apparently
Pretty much all that is vastly exaggerated by hatchet bearing journos.
Jason Schreier in particular shamelessly lied about it to try shit stirring
Jesus, how joyless
and unrealistic, no kid gives a damn about JK Rowling's twitter politics or her hate of troons
Hogwarts Legacy is going to sell boatloads

>Harry Potter has a gajillion video games, but not a single comic book
Why?
Rowling is picky and a lot of writers 20some+ years ago saw comic books as crude and lacking the "integrity" of non-picture books.
Same reason why we never got a Harry Potter cartoon back in the day. Some forms of art are see as lesser than others.
Surprised Rowling was even okay with video games, maybe the "games cause violence" meme wasn't too big in the UK
This isnt true? Harry Potter continues to dominate book and merchandise sales. Even the movies are still doing ok. Most people think the movies are bad because of the content not Rowling. And im pretty sure the Play made millions of dollars. The Harry Potter franchise will likely never die just like Star Wars or LOTR.
Harry Potter is literally worth more than the entirety of DC im pretty sure.
Lmao in a kid's camp I work at there are still several Harry Potter themed weeks because they love it so much.
Twitter trannies please keep seething, you will never kill Harry Potter and ywnbaw
nobody was shit talking for being woke, they were shit talking her for being fake woke
she didn't give a shit about any of the stuff that woke people care about and only used "Hermione could be black, there's nothing that says she wasn't" and "Dumbledore is le heckin gay" for free brownie points in the media
The black hermione part still gets me, since it was for a play of all things.
Theatre has race lifted for literally centuries; you don't need to justify a casting.
>nobody was shit talking for being woke, they were shit talking her for being fake woke
they're literally the same thing.
we call them "woke" as a sarcastic insult, because they're so misguided yet self-righteous--they think they're "enlightened ones." woke has always been a mockery of people trying to appeal to progressive ideals without putting any sort of rational logic into it.
JK Rowling's control of the series has long prevented original stories from being made outside her supervision. Hogwarts Legacy is the first time she's loosened her grip to let WB make original content in the Wizarding World.
Surface level Kimba thing. The only thing they have in common is they’re both about english boys with glasses learning magic and they have pet owls. The actual plot and characters are radically different, with the rest of the similarities more likely being stolen from T.H. White’s Sword in the Stone, which both Gaiman and Rowling cited as inspiration
Pretty sure it's from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century, where Harry Potter is the Anti-Christ, and goes on a magical school shooting when he learns of his destiny to destroy the world

JK Rowling was very shrewd with rights negotiations, it’s actually impressive for someone with so little industry experience when she started. Basically she made sure the books got adapted right into movies, and she won’t just sign off on any old thing
but there are games of it, including one that is being made by people who are apparently antagonizing her
I've heard she thinks very little of the comic medium, but that could very well be just a rumor.
Makes sense. She did plaigerize a comic for her series
Ironic, considering there are comics/manga better than Harry Potter. Like Witch Hat Atelier, for example.
Hey, someone on Cinemaphile with actual taste for once.
Neat.
If true, that's very close-minded. Maybe she's jealous she can't draw?
This here is a map drawn by Rowling.

One of the lead developers of the game was a gamer-gater before he quit
She probably sees videogames as just merch rather than a storytelling medium, while she specifically didn't want a cartoon/comic Harry Porter.
rights and I guess competition against her own books
>Harry Potter
Gross.

Nobody hates Rowling for thinking trans are frickt. If anything that helped sale books.
Hogwarts Legacy is going to sell because its a self insert Hogwarts sim
Rowling has nothing to do with the story as well
Notice all her attempts at continuing HP have failed primarily because she has alienated her millennial audience with her politics

These people think the opinions on twitter are real life.
They are completely disconnected from reality.
My nephew recently got into the books. He's discovering a lot not in the movies at all
>ywnbaw
Lol based. Tell them what they need to hear, don't feed into the delusion.
>Kids spouting this nonsense without immediately being called a troony by another classmate
See, this is the immersion breaking that ruins comics.
>writing teenagers, but your only knowledge of teenagers is actually sjw women in their 20s on twitter
Lmao in a kid's camp I work at there are still several Harry Potter themed weeks because they love it so much.
Twitter trannies please keep seething, you will never kill Harry Potter and ywnbaw
why did you post a picture of hermione
Lol remember when people used to talk shit about J.K Rowling for being woke before she started trolling trannies?
nobody was shit talking for being woke, they were shit talking her for being fake woke
she didn't give a shit about any of the stuff that woke people care about and only used "Hermione could be black, there's nothing that says she wasn't" and "Dumbledore is le heckin gay" for free brownie points in the media

You just did this thread last week.
It’s not Cinemaphile.
That's Harry potter in a comic.
It's Cinemaphile
Do you really expect this thread to get any traction on Cinemaphile?
Warner Bros make movies and animated features, not comic books.
There's no Harry Potter cartoons, either
JK Rowling owns the publishing rights to HP and she's never thought about making any
JK Rowling's control of the series has long prevented original stories from being made outside her supervision. Hogwarts Legacy is the first time she's loosened her grip to let WB make original content in the Wizarding World.
Coz it's Bwitish. Do they even read comic books?
will it get a cartoon when she dies?
People buy video games.
Cause it’s already a rip off of a comic book
is this a surface level kimba thing or is there more too it?

You got lucky anon.
what the hell is this?
Pretty sure it's from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century, where Harry Potter is the Anti-Christ, and goes on a magical school shooting when he learns of his destiny to destroy the world
You guys ever read Witch Girls Adventures?
The creator has an interesting backstory.
Wow I can feel the seething and spite.
Is it the comic where all witches are major c**ts that murder people in creative and cruel ways
____Yes._____
So is this a series about young psychopaths or do they get their comeuppance?
>didn't turn her into a living WMD by transmuting her to metal and warping her to the upper stratosphere of, say, Bath England
Superfragilisticus this!
>The creator has an interesting backstory.
Qrd?
Where do i read the rest? It just links to some board game when I search for it
It would take away feom J.K's book money
It's still her series, so she'd still get royalties from it--the frick're you on about? It wouldn't take away from anything.
Speaking of HP games, guess what I just got
The virgin Harry Potter wizards:
>hide away from the non-magical folk to avoid being genocided
>avoid using their magic on non-magical folk
>hide their school in the middle of the cold and damp ass highlands
>wave little twigs around

>only eat big dinners at school
>rise the ranks by reading books, passing tests and making new discoveries like a bunch of nerds
>most powerful wizard got his title by cheating with the Elder Hax Wand

>live among non-magical folk, openly display their magical status
>use their magic on anyone who fricks with them, give zero fricks
>put their school smack bang in the middle of their world's biggest city
>use solid oak six foot staffs with knobs on the end

>eat big dinners their whole lives
>rise the ranks by 86ing their superiors
>most powerful wizard fricking earned his title by being too robust and sharp to kill

More people buy videogames than comics
