Rowling has complete control and what Rowling says goes.
since when? she wasn't even invited to the anniversary celebration mega event a few months ago
Doesn't mean she didn't approve it, probably.
she is an outsider/outcast among the community, why is she even involved in anything if they don't want nothing with her?
those same people shit talking her, line her pockets
Pretty much the opposite - she fricked up so many times that only diehard Potter fans that ignore her frickups will buy her shit now. There's a reason HB3 had all the marketing and no hype.
Agreed, and also, before someone makes this political, I feel the need to point out that the "frickups" being referenced were frickups apolitically. It's classic George Lucas Syndrome, but much worse.
>he "frickups" being referenced were frickups apolitically
what were they? the only shit i know is the trans stuff and "i never said hermione wasn't black"
aren't they enough offenses nowadays in our modern time and era? people were marked as undesirables for less
As the other anon said, George Lucas syndrome, adding in stuff to the lore like "Wizards didn't use regular toilets, they just shat where they stood and vanished it away with magic" despite the first book mentioning a room full of chamberpots, and other meaningless fluff that was added to the canon through either her tweets, or through the Pottermore website, which added additional details to the world.
What meaningless fluff was there? The only thing I've heard of is part of the process to become a bootleg furry was to keep a leaf in your mouth for a month.
>What meaningless fluff was there?
>"Dumbledore was totally gay, guys, even though I never built that fact up whatsoever throughout all of the books."
Shit like that.
Oh, for some reason I thought that was an interview. Makes sense.
It was an interview, the only reason she even said it was because the interviewer directly asked her, way back around the time the fifth film came out
Most anons think it was some shitpost on twitter made in the last few years for some reason
>Most anons think it was some shitpost on twitter made in the last few years for some reason
>for some reason
that's because the rumor that it was just some tweet has been circulating since, like, at least 2014.
I never cared for the gay dumbledore thing change but it's weird to see the modern internet doesn't remember how old it is, the discourse surrounding it never really ended
The funniest/saddest thing Pottermore introduced was Draco's future wife who should have been part of the story
The movies are literally prequels that are worse than the Star Wars prequels
She also signed off on and contributed to the Cursed Child play and declared it canon and marketed it as a new entry to the franchise and everything which is, like, comically-bad-fanfiction-tier
>The movies are literally prequels that are worse than the Star Wars prequels
At least they haven't introduced magic-chlorians.
It wasn't just the political stuff, once the kids who read the books grew up, they realized that they weren't as good as they thought were as pic related shows.
>muh quality
the marvel movies, percy jackson, whatever else are equally shit written but normies still eat them up.
the truth is that the HP fandom is too old to be cool and too young to be retro. in 30 years it'll be the new hotness again.
also by then i suspect jk will probably have made peace with the trannies even if its insincere
dumbledore just bought a bunch of sparkly hats overnight when he became old
By pissing off the trannies, modern left's pet cause, Rowling proved she believes in something. She is not a deep political thinker by any means, but she has principles.
>liberals are the ones who don't want change unless something comes along that personally affects them
Is this homie serious
Long before the trans stuff she was being criticized and was generally disliked. She kept adding to Harry Potter lore but everything she added blew. The most infamous being a claim that, before toilets were invented, Wizards just shit their pants and magicked it away
Damn responded to the wrong guy. I meant to respond to
Damn, she's on par with Tomino himself, a true master of speculative fiction.
Actually one of the reasons the Fantastic Beasts movies flopped is that David Yates is directing. He's utter trash as a director. Add in a script from Rowling that doesn't work but nobody is bold enough to tell her its not that good, and you have those movies. If they were actually entertaining then peope would go see them regardless of the troony stuff.
Rowling, without Harry as the protagonist, can't write any fiction worth reading. She lucked out with Harry as a character, without him there's no firm ground for her story for readers/viewers to enjoy. Shame.
>There's a reason HB3 had all the marketing and no hype.
To be fair it was obviously going to be a shit movie. Any movie that has a conservative wizard dressing like this obviously does not understand the source material. That final fight between Dumbledore and Grindelwald is the worst duel in all of the movies, it's not even a competition. Simply incredible how unimaginative it was.
Just because she wasn’t invited to a celebration doesn’t mean she doesn’t control her IP.
She has full control of her IP that she put into contracts with WB.
DC can’t just make a Harry Potter comic just because WB makes Harry Potter movies. They have to get WB and Rowling’s permission.
There is more focus being put into the video game.
And I don’t think Rowling cared for comics.
>wasn't even invited
lmao
If she showed up absolutely none of them could make her leave
Nothing Harry Potter related is happening without her approval
some actors/actresses outright said they won't appear if she would have showed up
wait, that's not true
Emma Watson?
among others, she was the most outspoken in the group
> heromine being the most outspoken
like pottery holy shit
those monster seriously need to be executed for their stupidity and terrorism
that would be too much
Good for her for maintaining control of the incredibly valuable thing she created.
Because the wizards shit their pants and use magic to teleport the shit into the buttholes of trans women. This is canon Rowling has said it herself.
weird fetish but okay
yeah that was a big L imo too
Because they'll never be as good as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqUN4YdQgVQ
Rowling doesn't like cartoons, she thinks it is beneath her and her work. I imagine that applies to comics as well.
The pippi longstocking creator was just like her, the ghibli guys asked her about making a pl anime and she told them to frick off.
You know, that might have been a good call.
That's a stupid mindset but might be a saving grace in modern times
I don’t think Rowling would allow DC the Harry Potter brand.
>trump is voldemort
Well, they both lost. They have that in common.
i thought Biden was voldemort, because rightwingers can't even say his name.
Please... Please tell me that is this is real it was canned.
is Nighting thinking, "yeah, these wimps'll never make it as superheroes"
Glasses there is just another name on the plaque.
Probably for the same reason we will never see an animated adaption, JK Rowling is one of those people who think animation is a boring medium meant to distract kids.
>my book series aimed at kids is too high brow too be a cartoon
she's moronic
Take your meds and stop believing what the voices in your head tell you
what
Did I stutter?
Does she really or is this just a meme
Yes she actually does hate animation
I don't get it. She hates comics and cartoon, but she's fine with video games?
b***h knows where the money is
>JK Rowling is one of those people who think animation is a boring medium meant to distract kids.
Source?
Tall lanky Ron, plain Jane Hermione, and Daniel Radcliffe. They really captured the characters.
Ever heard of Books of Magic from Vertigo? The real Harry Potter.
Shamelessly ripped off Harry Potter half a decade before it was written.
I'd rather be milked to death than watch even 5 minutes of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises! Seriously 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.
>Remember the six million leg-stretchings, goy
what i don't really get is how people my age (late 20s, early 30s) are still latched on to this shit
Nostalgia is a hell of an exploitable drug
yeah but here i am every wednesday talking comics in the storytimes
but i don't compare shit to voldemort or thanos or the empire just because i don't like it or disagree with it
maybe i'm just getting old
I have seen people comparing real life events to mcu stuff.
Do you get that most of the people who like this stuff doesn't either? That all the shit you see spammed on here are tiny tiny minorities that do not represent the way the vast amount of people act about or towards something? Do you unironically think you can judge huge groups of people over a dumb tween some randos sent out?
How the frick are you in your 30s and don't realize this basic ass shit?
Personally I like the noble hearted Slytherin. Sirrus was the best. Shame he was banished to another dimension.
Also their underwater Common Room is Tight.
Sirius was a Griffy. But yeah, I'm still mad he got killed off.
I remember all the fan speculation and books talking about what that mirror could be and the possisblity of him still being around. Then Rowling goes "LOL he dead" and then starts killing people by the score. Damn those books became a meatgrinder.
Also hurt seeing Luna's father being a cowed weakling. After publishing a paper that was the only truth at the time we finally see him and, he squeals on them.
I felt him some kind of Magical J J Jameson before that.
>I felt him some kind of Magical J J Jameson before that.
I NEED PICTURES
PICTURES OF THE BOY WHO LIVED
HE'S A MENACE
Its mcu capeshit for the YA crowd.
I mean, the female crowd that still reads YA books.
They're the literary equivalent of adult Disneyland fans.
Harry Potter due to luck and the right blend of elements was able to capture the attention of kids who generally didn't read for pleasure alongside the nerds. This led to it becoming a worldwide brand for over a decade while also being a "legitimized" nerd property in a time before the MCU.
There are many fans who have never displayed much interest in another books series and so their only fictional reference point is Harry Potter, there are many fans that because of its widespread appeal became meshed in the greater community surrounding it and hold great affection for those times, there are many who got filtered by actual adult books and have become stagnant in YA of which HP is still quality for, there are many fans who never found anything that could match what it was for them so they cling to it.
I get it to some extent (for me it was homestuck and I thank every day that it died) but the importance that comes from refusing to move on is just really depressing.
>milked to death in every other media
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
>couldn't stand up to one dark lord and two dozen cronies
>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
>afraid of death
The Chad Discworld wizards:
>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
>can stand up to dragons, elves, Things from the Dungeon Dimensions and even the Auditors of all reality
>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
>summon death to ask him trivial questions
it still amazes me to this day how the harry potter spergs defend the series outside of ego-fuelled nostalgia when discworld did everything so much better over a decade prior
Probably because the appeal of the two stories are way fricking different? Way to be a tard.
Also that anon makes them sound like huge mary sues
>Also that anon makes them sound like huge mary sues
They're actually parodies of somewhat lazy academics. The most useful wizards in discword are a guy whose goal in life is to build his own PC, and a guy that would rather eschew magic for a much more practical technique of running away or swinging a brick in a sock at you.
Harry Potter is all about adventure and being clever, Discworld is more comedy focused.
Discworld also has the problem of changing main characters, and while you think you could just read only the ones that start the same main characters, a lot things will go over your head because nearly every book is required reading, especially the books about the city guards, the witches, DEATH, and the magic school. It also has a lot of books, which scare younger readers which should be their main audience.
I mean, with a few notable exceptions, the DW wizards are the virgins
Only because their CHAD genetics can sire literal world breaking gods.
preach greybeard
We did get some offhand remark somewhere that Dark Wizards attempting to expand into North America get BTFO by Elementals or something.
I wanna see those schools. Though Dermstrang was pretty tight and they did have staffs.
>rise the ranks by 86ing their superiors
That's how I imagine that russian school does it, and that's why the ex-Death Eater ended up becoming schoolmaster there.
>tfw we'll never see a faithful Ridcully on the big screen, sending men mad with just his bellowing and love of hunting
Because JK Rowling still owns the IP to Harry Potter and refuses to let anyone else use the lore unless she approves of it. Also im pretty sure scholastic or Little Brown Co own the publishing rights. WB only owns production rights and the marketing rights associated with that. If you want to make Harry Potter comics you have to go through Jk Rowling, not WB.
Source of image?
this isn't Major Bummer by any chance, is it?
New Excalibur #3.
But Harry Potter was based off a comic, why would it need one?
>tfw have to wait 98 years to republish harry potter as furry trannies with nearly the same plot except they're all furry trannies and every wizard poop in the world is teleported to a vault in gringots with rowlings corpse in it.
kys terrorist. Humanity will never condone your evil
JK Rowling is terrified of other people doing a better job than her
Which she really shouldn't be, looking at her trannoid fans constantly trying to "reimagine" the cast as various minorities should give her confidence they won't be showing her up.
Nah but look at the Clusterfrick that has been the Fantasy Fiction Amazon is trying to cram into a Game of Thrones mold.
Only thing that keeps them form ripping her works to shreds is being alive.
i was always proud to be slytherin they are the same as the christians, reviled just for being based and one with the only true God.

What was that one comic with a magic school killing spree? I can't remember it for the life of me
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century. Man did that shit story shit the bed, even before the schoolshooting issue. How can you make a critique of the HP books in a universe where all literary characters are real and have Voldemort raping girls at a muggle rock concert before he's going back to be a teacher at Hogwarts? Even if Alan had just watched the movies he would have known it doesn't fit.
for context, their harry was the antichrist with the mark of the beast and hogwarts was just an elaborate coping mechanism they put him in to occupy him. when he found out he snapped and killed them all. and then mary poppins kills him. if this sounds moronic, it is.
>and hogwarts was just an elaborate coping mechanism they put him in to occupy him.
Nah, Hogwarts was a regular magic school. It's just that Totally-Not-Alistair-Crowley that soul-jumped into Voldemort's body and took over(while at a Muggle rock concert in London, don't forget) used the school to stage a bunch of shit that was meant to shape Harry into the antichrist that Not-Crowley wanted to change the world, explaining why there's a new way for Harry to prove himself with each new school year. He failed and so Harry was a failure as the antichrist.
Using the convenient yearly Hogwarts shenanigans to train Harry and him being the antichrist instead of a jesus allegory was probably the only decent ideas in Century. Too bad the execution sucks ass because Moore couldn't be bothered to even watch the movies so the characters make no sense. I just don't get why he decided to write a story that was all just time-skip after time-skip. Why not write about Quatermain having trouble with the rampant drug use of the 60s and 70s, slipping back into his addiction because it's impossible to escape the presence of drugs after Mina disappears? Why not show Orlando fighting in a war instead of just having a page saying "oh yeah he fought and killed his own guys"? Why not show Mina trying to get out of the nuthouse, having it mirror how her husband tried to escape Dracula's castle and how Dracula would cloud his victim's minds? All of that would have been better than just jumping to the end so Mary Poppins can show up as God to solve a problem that shouldn't have needed the input of the League.
if harry was in character and learned he was the antichrist he'd probably just kill himself
Wasn't there some shit that stopped him from doing that, like he couldn't die until God showed up to wipe him away? I thought that was why he just hid himself away for a decade or however long it was. He clearly didn't want to be the antichrist but he just couldn't stop it.
The fact that God couldn't find him because he was hiding in Grimauldi Place was fricking stupid though.
I didn't think Mary Poppins was actually God, just had God-like powers?
Antichrist Potter says something about being a big deal and having a whole page in the bible and everything, and she answers something like "Oh yeah? Well I'm on every page b***h". She's clearly God.

only time she let comics soil her dumb shit
Rowling never bothered with it
from what I've heard Rowling is very elitist and thinks comic books and animation are beneath her and undeserving of having Potter
I have heard the same thing at least about animation. I think it was just like a single off-the-cuff comment but it was pretty clear.
i dont even like rowling, but its fricking weird that no one actually checks what she's actually said before getting angry about it. everything with her these days is sourceless wank drama
twitter poisons old people. its so sad
