After chatting with Brookheimer, Xia Tian talked to people from the publishing company, mainly about the sequel to "Harry Potter".

"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" was launched in 1995, and it has been nearly four years since then. It is time to release its sequel. Otherwise, its fans would have grown up.

Although JK Rowling has been trying to deepen the theme of the Harry Potter series and add various meanings, it still cannot change the fact that it is a children's book.

Children naturally enjoy this series. But in the eyes of adults, the plot is too simple, too playful, and too many bugs.

For example, Dumbledore had a time converter in his hand, but he did not use it to save Sirius or even his own life; the Weasley brothers have always held a map of the live spots, but did not find that the person who slept with his younger brother Ron every day was not the mouse-spotted but the dwarf Peter; the owl could find everyone in the world, but the Ministry of Magic did not think of catching the fugitive by tracking the owl...

Children can ignore these bugs. However, for adult readers, these flaws affect the pleasure of reading, so the main audience of Harry Potter is children.

Children grow up very quickly. Once they get older, their thoughts, concepts and interests will change greatly. At that time, they may not be interested in "Harry Potter".

Just like in summer, I just came into contact with Harry Potter when I was in high school. I found it very interesting and collected the first five Harry Potter movies one after another. But after he went to college, he saw "Harry Potter and the Half-Blooded Prince" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", and there was no bathing look I wanted to buy or even watch.

Therefore, summer must write "Harry Potter and the Prisoners of Azkaban" before the children grow up.

...

For this decision in summer, the publishing company naturally welcomed it with both hands.

Because the Harry Potter series, one to two, after it was released that year, caused a sensation and sales exceeded 5 million copies. In particular, the second one, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", has sold more than 8 million copies worldwide, and is a very rare best-selling children's books in recent years.

At the moment of rapid development of the Internet, there are almost everything you need for free information, books, pictures, etc. on the Internet.

For example, in a cooking manual, people can find cooking steps and tips directly from the Internet without spending money to buy cooking books; in a weight loss manual, people can no longer buy books produced by weight loss coaches, and can directly find weight loss tips directly from the Internet...

This has led to a gradual decline in consumption of physical books, which has also made publishing companies difficult to live, so they urgently need books that can be sold well. The "Harry Potter" series is undoubtedly their savior.

In fact, after the launch of the "Harry Potter" series, many publishing companies and writers saw that audiences of this type had followed suit and launched similar works.

For example, the "World of Magic Books" series, the "Persey Jackson" series, the "Wowl Kingdom" series, the "Forbidden Land" series, etc.

Although these were also very popular after the launch, many of them sold over one million. However, they are still not as good as the Harry Potter series.

A book called "Harry Potter" is a pioneering work, and it is a fantasy literary work that many children have first seen. The first time has special significance for everyone. No matter how good other followers are, in their opinion, it is not as shocking as the first time.

Second, "Harry Potter" itself is also of high quality. It depicts a magical world separated from the real world by a wall. The two worlds almost overlap, but they are very different, which makes readers feel particularly strong.

In addition, although "Harry Potter" is children's literature, its story is not bad at all. The beginning, the transition, the grass, snake, and gray lines are much stronger than those shoddy followers.

What's more, although the "Harry Potter" series is just a name for itself and does not serve as the chief writer in the summer, it has something to do with him after all.

People in the world have always been like red-topped white. Those book critics and book merchants know that they are famous in summer will praise him a few more words. When parents buy books for their children, they usually choose highly-known ones.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the "Harry Potter" series is far better than these follow-up works.

...

In addition to "Harry Potter", the publishing company also intends to adapt "Harry Potter" into a comic and sell it to readers.

The story of "Harry Potter" is very exciting. The most attractive thing in the book is the magical and magnificent magic world. Those magic, flying broom, Quidditch, magic chess, goblins, giant monsters, dragons, three-headed dogs, unicorns, snake monsters, etc. are really too long for people, and they also make every reader have a fantasy magic world in his heart.

However, at this stage, it is still very difficult to adapt "Harry Potter" into a movie and perfectly present the magical world in the book.

Because there are so many special effects used in "Harry Potter", the cost would be incredibly high if it were filmed now. Although it has the opportunity to achieve a high box office, it is indeed a bit risky to be honest.

Therefore, since it is not adapted into a movie for the time being, it is better to adapt it into a comic first. Comics are also more direct and more concrete than words, and are very suitable for readers to read, and they will definitely be popular.

Moreover, generally speaking, comics have both the same readership and different readership groups. Many readers only like them and prefer to use their imagination to fantasize everything said in the book.

But some readers only like to read comics, but don’t like it. They think they are all texts, and the dry ones are too boring. It’s not as funny as comics, with pictures, colors, and more interesting.

Therefore, adapting "Harry Potter" into a comic can not only attract some comic readers, but also attract the support of a group of book fans. I believe there will be good sales.

...

Xia Tian happily accepted this proposal.

There have been many examples of adapting into comics. For example, Huang Yulang spent a lot of money to win the rights to adapt Kim Yong's martial arts comics, and thus adapted several of Kim Yong's famous works.

For example, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", etc. Although the sales volume is not the best, it is quite good.

Therefore, Summer is naturally willing to adapt "Harry Potter" into a comic. He can also add a lot of new things to the comics to make up for the shortcomings of the "Harry Potter" series, and did not add selling points to the comics.
