If Harry Potter were a comic book

[PyroChamber]

We all know how much everyone loves Harry Potter, from men to women to little kids. But if Harry Potter was a comic book series (still written by J.K. Rowling) instead of seven books, do you think it would still be popular?

Wait, do you mean what if it started out as a comic instead, or what if they made a comic now that the books are done?

Cuz if it started out as a comic, theres noway it would have been as popular.

I can tell you that if a Harry Potter comic book was published now, it'd go straight to number one, and I'd buy 5 copies.

it might work at that

If it had started out as a comic book it wouldn't have been as successful i don't think
But if they started a comic series now after the 7th book has been released i think it could work (Haven't read the last book, so don't know what happens, don't spoil it plz)

Here's to hoping that if Harry Potter ever graces the pages of a comic book, Humberto Ramos stays the hell away from it:

It's been done, and better.

Same here.

And I'm not even THAT big of a fan.

Now I haven't read the last book, and don't plan to (see, told you I wasn't that big of a fan), but ideally if they put something out like Harry Potter running around as an adult, as an Auror or something that would be great. You could simply have a series of almost bounty hunter-like adventures exploring the magical world. That'd be something I'd really want to read about, personally.

Of course, I wouldn't go near the book if they made it a manga.

I meant if it started out as one. But if it did, and everyone loved it as much as they do now and gets a lot of good reviews, J.K. Rowlings might be considered the best (if not only) female comic book writer today to some.

It's been done, but I wouldn't call that better. He looks 30 years old.

Looks can be deceiving.

That's not much better. Mandals? C'mon....

 

[Darthphere]

He had them before they were trendy.

What, if Harry Potter started as a comic book, Gail Simone, Louise Simonson, Devin Grayson, and all the other female comic book writers would've ceased to exist?

Dude, mandals were never trendy.

 

[Darthphere]

Dude, mandals were never trendy.

Sadly, they are. Don't you read Vogue?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

They're trendy right now if you visit any college campus. They were just never good.

This depends on what your definition of trendy is. I mean, I could go any trailer park in middle America and see dozens of stained wife beaters. That doesn't make it trendy.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's trendy to the trailer park crowd. You just don't travel in the right circles. You probably don't even have to avoid any beer spills in your circles.

I can assure you that when I'm involved, beer is never spilled.

Because you're some kind of freakishly super-coordinated drunk?

Pretty much, yeah. At least, when it comes to handling my drink.

Sure, a lot of the comic buying public might think she's the awesome, but would it have attained the popularity it has as a set of novels? Sadly, no. Comics don't have the audience.

Yeah, you can't stare directly at it. A few glanes to get the gist will do just fine.
