    Yeah, Fred and George kinda remind me of those twins from Ouran High School Host Club.

    Is that not the whole purpose of the picture?

    You're talking about the redheaded ones who pretend to be gay, so as to attract the randy, female clientele, but aren't actually gay, right?

    Forgot their names, though.

    tbh, I think the picture is really well done, even on a purely aesthetic level. The composition and use of negative space is pretty good, imo. 'Course, I'm not an Art student, so I might know jackshit about art.

    And Luckylee, you don't need to state the obvious. Listen to Carmine.

    Pretty awesome, actually. Who is the guy behind Neville, though? Flitwick?

    Reggie Black of course. Kreacher, or the elf back-to-back with him, should be a freakin' obvious clue.

    Ollivander is my guess, although I could be mistaken.

    For me, Tonks makes that picture. She just looks plain awesome.

    Edit: On second glance, Tonks outfit looks like the one worn by Misato Katsuragi. And Bellatrix looks like a Sailor Moon villain.

    Could be, but I'd expect something more recognizable, like the Deathly Hallows necklace on him.

    Tonks is cool, but it's Bill & Fluer and crying Percy that made it for me.

    Luna's right behind Neville, and it's an old man with long hair next to her.

    Screams Xeno to me.

    Also, Tonks <3

    I just saw this on reddit, made me wish a HP Anime existed. It would be great cause as a series you wouldn't have to mess with canon as hard as the movies did.

    There'd be so many god damn problems with a Harry Potter anime.

    Harry would turn out to be even more incompetent than he is in the books. Ginny would be tsundere as fuck, and twice as annoying. It would focus completely on the romance aspect, to the point where we'd probably never even see Voldemort.

    Actually, the more I think about it, the more I realize that an HP anime would be like watching really bad fanfiction.

    As much as I hate to agree with this guy, this. If the conventions of most animes were subverted, a Harry Potter anime could work out pretty well.

    Yeah, but subverting isn't something the anime industry does often.

    Why bother making an original personality for someone when you can slap on "tsundere" and be done with it. It's proven to make money, and people eat that stuff up.

    A Harry Potter anime could be completely amazing. It could show so much more magic, more character interaction and background information, it's insane. And it will never, ever work.

    The control Rowling would need over this is so tight, it's impossible. And without that, it will slowly start to divert away from canon. Just look at the movies and how easily some of Rowling's very few laws were broken. Harry randomly casting Lumos at the Dursley's, wizard turning into smoke and flying around, complete disregard of wandmovement, ect. And these were actually still supposed to follow the books. An anime probably won't be limited like that. So in the end you'll get kind a 'not really'-Harry in a 'not really'-Potterverse.

    What would it be about anyway? The original plot again? That would just have people rage at times were it doesn't follow canon and yawn when it does. So a different way maybe? Still about Harry's Hogwarts years, but a different plot? That would make it lose every relevance for canon. Or make it some sort of follow-up, maybe even about Albus Potter, which no one will really be interested in.

    The thing is, the idea of a Harry Potter anime is pretty damn amazing. It's theoretical potential is almost as limitless as fanfiction. But it's better left in that fase, because once you try to actually make a Harry Potter anime, it will have to deal with reality. And that will mess up everything.

    I had to look up Tsundere first, but how could that possibly fit Ginny? She went from fangirl to actual friend, to girlfriend. If anything, she had to cool down, not warm up to Harry.

    'Tsundere'-Draco, now that's something to be afraid of.

    I could imagine abusive and easily angered Ginny, giving me a new reason to hate her....
