Who has wasted their IP more?

J.K Rowling or Bryan Konietzko

Now that I think about it, I am astonished at all of the children’s book series and young adult series that I’ve held the grain of a small passing interest in, but was never committed enough to read, either because I just missed getting into them as a kid, or I had outgrown being in their target range by the time I learned of them. But I really probably would have watched their cartoon versions if they’d been made, and maybe read the books after that.

The west really needs to do what Japan does and dive on every moderately popular YA book (LNs are just YA books).

I'd like to see an animated series set after Deathly Hallows, following a kid on his first year at Hogwarts, experiencing everything in a post-Voldemort world.
They have 18 years to work with before they have to involve Harry with a physical appearance (by the timeskip 19 years later in the last book, Harry's eldest son was on his second year).
They would follow a kid through his 7 years at Hogwarts, then they could follow another that's starting right after the other one graduates, and you have 14 seasons. You could even have a spinoff featuring the Romanian representative in the Goblet of Fire from the first character's time at Hogwarts, following his adventures at his own school. Season 15 would be the second kid meeting the kid from the first series (now grown up), and they form an unlikely duo as the second kid apprentices under the first.

I have way too many ideas.

Stop wasting "ideas" on things you don't own. Write things you will own.

>The Wizarding World at Universal,
Only thing good that came out after the books

Reefer Madness: The Animated Musical

Like anyone takes actual advice from Zig Forums users, let alone Zig Forums.

If every writer of fanfiction actually wrote their own thing that would go a long way to making things more vibrant. Yes, fanfiction sucks, but the issue is that the precedence has been set that the only "web writing" in the west is fanfiction (which sucks). If such a precedent didn't exist you wouldn't have people spending years of their life trying to get into a publishing world that isn't really open to them anyway as its all so nepotistic.

Honestly, “boarding school for witches” should really just be considered a genre by now, instead of always associated with the one IP.

I kind of forgot most of what goes on in the books between whenI read them back when they were coming out and now, and I still love that place. I kinda don’t get people who are still obsessed with the characters and stuff.

It wasn't even new with Harry Potter. The Worst Witch did that shit in the 80s (with Tim Curry).

I'm surprised there was no HP cartoon/animated series/television show
Especially after the first and second movie

That’s part of my point. Everyone now retroactively remembers The Worst Witch for being “Harry Potter before Harry Potter,” and that’s backwards. Harry Potter instead should have kicked off more properties like it and like The Worst Witch. But that didn’t quite happen.

Trash series but it would print money

Well, at least more money than the live action would print.

When the first movie came out, I was surprised and kind of pissed it wasn’t animated to begin with.

i'm just going to come out and say it, HP isn't that good. People only remember it fondly because they read it as a kid when they have nothing else to compare it to.

would we see black hermine and Dumbledore sucking constant cock

There is an abundance of kids/young adult books that got low effort live action adaptations that just flopped or turned out forgettable. Spiderwick Chronicles, Bridge to Terabithia, the Chronicles of Narnia, the Golden Compass, A Wrinkle in Time, I think Artemis Fowl is getting one, etc.

A Series of Unfortunate Events did kinda surprisingly well but still not all that great.

Anime/cartoon hybrid.

Would be awesome to see an animated adult drama.

Have you ever been to the theme parks? She didn't waste that IP, not by a long shot.

That's mostly the case with LN adaptations as well. I guess they should just learn to budget, which really is not something they do in the studio circuit, having worked in it as a bus driver for a year.

I don't understand why comics and cartoons aren't produced to advertise books like they are in Korea and Japan. It seems to be a really successful means of advertising (The anime market is oversaturated, but THERE IS a reason for that), and comics in particular would be cheap to produce.

Given how books are selling less, and book shops are closing, you'd think they'd try this out.

It had to have done something right to get so many kids to read it in the first place. I remember Potter Mania being huge when I was a kid, and the books selling out immediately upon release in what people were acting like was some unprecedented phenomena. It was a lot better selling than any kids book had been in a while, at least.

But yeah, today it’s all about the nostalgia for that time.

that good or bad?

The theme parks are the only thing good left. Fact is she could have been the queen of all media if she was smart.

Because to 9/10 people comics = superheroes (which was basically true for a long time), and they're sold in dingy shops in back alleys, staffed by fat weirdos.

Yes. Slice of life degrassi drama in Hogwarts. It's literally printing money, wtf is jk Rowling thinking not allowing an HP cartoon?

I always found it boring compared to the chad kid's book series Redwall

Would fucking love it

OP specified profitable otherwise I'd have a few suggestions

Americans don't read comics. There's no good distribution or sales method for them like there is in Asia. They're not ingrained into the culture.

Animation is also more expensive to produce outside of Asia. America is better at live action, so that's what it does.

It really isn't difficult to understand. Normies don't want anything to do with your niche hobbies.

>Normies don't want anything to do with your niche hobbies.
Thank God

To be fair, normalfags don't really "want" anything.

>GG anime

I would be hype for this.

HBO his dark materials is pure kino

Bro, she's a fucking billionaire. HP went through a successful eight film series that told the entire story of the novels. That's almost unprecedented. She did just fine, and didn't dilute the brand with a bunch of shitty shovelware or Calarts style cartoons.

Ah, Redwall. The book so nice that the author wrote it twenty times.

Imagine madhouse titmouse or gainax animating the wizarding world series

Damn straight

They’ll like any overly advertised in their face.
Anything can be advertised and made applying, this is America.

I wasn’t sure if I should bring that up, but fair point. I’d heard good things from a couple people and I honestly wasn’t sure if that was a reflection of their personal tastes and them being big fans of the book, or if the show was actually succeeding. I didn’t love the books that much, they were honestly kinda disappointing and I didn’t think they’d been worth it once I finished them, so I dunno if I’m gonna check out the show. The movie tanked though.

I think we got exactly as much Harry Potter as the world needs. Harry Potter is fun, but the world falls apart pretty quickly if you look at it for too long, especially if you fuck with the tone like in the Fantastic Beasts movies. I'd rather see different shit.

A lot of these publishers also publish graphic novels, they themselves should be well over this perception. Worried about adult's perceptions? Make it for kids instead. It should be noted I'm not even talking about full serials, I'm just talking about one off, or even single page comics to grab attention and sell books. I'm talking about it as an advertising medium rather than a viable product.

>Americans don't read comics.
Then let's talk about the rest of the world, because comics are being sold and read somewhere outside of Asia, and apparently it's not America.
