Harry Potter anime

[SeiUsa]

You've probably seen HP fanart in anime style on the net, but what would you think of an actual anime show going through the whole series? I think it'd be kind of cute, and a lot of scenes wouldn't have to be cut because they just put them into episodes. Sounds a little crazy, but I think it would be funner than live-action. (no offense to the moviegoers)

I agree! (I'm a complete movie hater!) The acting in the movies is terrible, but to think! They wouldn't cut a single thing from the show because it would all just be episodes. I think it's a cute idea, but then again I hope it doesn't happen. Just an excuse for people not to read the books. Sadly I've run into many people who think that reading the books is dumb and that they should just go see the movies. ugh. oh well. opinions.

I think it would be interesting. I'd still read the books, though. There are some things the book can convey that an animation or a movie or something like that just can't.

Why should people HAVE to read the books to enjoy the story of harry potter? They may not get the full effect by watching the movies, but it's not like it's stupid for some people to not have any desire to read the books. Plenty of people either don't care for casual reading for enjoyment, but enjoy movies very much.

I love the books AND the movies. And I think there are certain things movies and animation can convey that books can't. Usually when I read, I picture the background music, how the voices sound, etc...and it's enjoyable to me personally to see how thea ctual background music and voices of animation and movies match up to my imagination.

that's rare. that's the reason I don't like the movies. I feel as though they take away the imagination and tell you what Harry and all the other charcters should look like. I dunno. I don't think people HAVE to read the books, but they have so much more detail, it just seems more enjoy-able then being shown what some director thinks they should look like. They are opinions of you and me, I don't think we should argue.

Sweetie, this is a message board. If you can't handle debate, you don't belong here. Plain and simple. Just becuase someone disagrees with you, or wants to debate something does not mean you're fighting, being mean, yelling, or arguing.


And now for my reply...I don't think it's rare at all. I know a lot of people who have never read the books, but enjoy the movies very much. I have a friend that makes sure to see every movie when it comes out, but has yet to read one of the books.

To someone who has never read the books, it doesn't make any DIFFERENCE to them what Harry and the gang look like (and, if you ask me, they did a damn good job casting o_O; I'm failing to see how any of the chars don't look like themselves). It only makes a difference to you or someone who reads the books becuase they already KNOW.

no, its rare that the way you pictured them to be, matches up to what to movies are showing you.

And I dunno, I just really hate the movies because they can't be JUST like the books. I know that they don't have enough time to make the movie that long and that they put most of the important stuff in, but I wish they could make it like the movie "Pride & Prejudice". That movie is 6 hours long because it is paractically word by word with the book! And now, they are re-doing "Pride & Prejudice" and it'll be just like those Harry Potter movies! They'll skip stuff and get it wrong! And plus, they are re-doing it with Keira Knightly as Elizabeth Bennet!!! *throws up*

Well...I'm suprised they haven't made HP into a cartoon or an anime by now.And actually, I didn't start reading the books 'till after the 3rd movie came out.I actually really like the movies, some people don't, if you don't, just stick to the books, simple.

[jupiter23]

Actually, I've already seen the first three movies also. I didn't start reading the books till last week, and I've only read the first one so far. I checked the second book out of the library at my school just today, and may not start reading it till tomorrow. And considering I knew next to nothing about Harry Potter before I saw the first movie, I thought all three movies were pretty good.

I've read all the books and I've seen all the movies. O_o A lot of the cast looked exactly as I pictured them. My brother, who is the only other person in my house that's read the books, agrees with me on this. He thought they did a good job, too.

The only one of the movies I didn't like is the 3rd movie which, in my opinion, sucked horribly. It's been a long time since I read the 3rd book, I need to read it again, but they cut too many important details and changed too many things (that I can remember) for me to like it.

Back on topic, people. This isn't a movie/book debate.

I, too, am surprised that they haven't made an anime or cartoon about Harry Potter. Maybe some non-sense cartoon full of face-faults and half-assed composed music int he background. "Harry Potter and his adventures at Hogwarts". It wouldn't need a plot. Just a bunch of random episodes with no stable plot to string the episodes together. Like Scooby-Doo.

I think that's part of the reason why I wouldn' twant to see a cartoon. It would just be like....a new and carbon copy villain every episode, and Harry and the gang beat it. And they'd probably give them these ridiculous powers that aren't even in the book...And Voldemort would be like the recurring King Koopa or Bowser in the mario brothers cartoons.

Voldemort: "I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME, HARRY! NEXT TIIMEEE! *SHAKES FIST*"

Malfoy: "And I would have taken over Hogwarts, if it weren't for those meddling kids and that groundskeeper!"

...*shudders* Yeah. I'm good with just the books and movies.

They could give Harry and the gang magical henshin sequences to transform into their wizard forms.

Harry:"Hogwart's Power Make-Up"

And Tuxedo Ron could come in, shout useless information, and get captured or nearly killed almost everyday.

In other words, just like Ron now.

I realize I probably should have said something earlier, but am I the only one who found that funny? Now I think it'd be even more interesting to see Harry Potter as an anime.

no i think it's hilarious but in my head i think "what if they actually did that?!" and then I threw up!

[Sylphiel]

I've never even read or seen any Harry Potter stuff, and I still found that hilarious. I nearly spit out my Mountain Dew laughing.

OH dear the mental image I've been given XD it's just too funny

If they did a harry Potter cartoon/anime I reckon it'll be something to see I might not like it but I'll see it just to see what it's like type of thing
