I know I highlighted Neill Cameron’s Mo-Bot week at the weekend, but this is too good to not show you….
And in the blog post Cameron brings up a very interesting thought…….
“The SECRET ORIGIN of today’s entry in Mo-Bot Week: so aaaages ago I made a Funny Joke on twitter, announcing my delight at the news that I’d landed the assignment of producing graphic novel adaptations of all seven Harry Potter novels… but that I would of course be making some changes. This was just an excuse for me to make up lots of silly titles: Harry Potter and the Unusually Large Baby, Harry Potter and the Drunk Jellyfish, that sort of thing. Anyway, comics writer, journalist and tweeter par excellence Chris Sims chimed in with “Harry Potter and The Hell With It, They All Have Giant Robots Now.” And lo, my mind was blown.”
But you know what…. WHY ISN’T THERE A GRAPHIC NOVEL HP?
Really, why not? Anyone know?
And looking at these pics, extra mo-bot stuff or not…. Neill Cameron would do a bang up job on it wouldn’t he?

Someone asked me this recently too.
I imagine it’s might have to do with licencing costs.

I think Rowling has no desire to see the books adapted into GNs, I think that may be why.

I imagine so…. although, it would be nice.
Maybe one day, maybe one day…….
