If Harry Potter Was an Anime...

I found this picture through StumbleUpon and thought it was cool: [WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS]
"
If Harry Potter Was an Anime"
Random Thoughts on the picture [Some spoilers ahead]:
- I love how Ron looks. =3
- Fred and George remind me of
another set of anime twins...
- Snape looks kind of like a girl. Weird.
- It took me about five times looking at them to see that that's NOT Harry and Ginny, it's Lily and James.*facepalm*
- Dobby looks a bit like a baby. Oh well.
- I like Percy and his glasses.
- It also took me a while to realize that that's Neville with the sword and Luna with the sleepy look.
- Basically it took me a while to realize who everyone was.
- I should stop rambling now.
I wasn't sure if this thread should go in anime, art, entertainment, goof off, or general...someone can move it if it's in the wrong place.
Anyhow...enjoy!

That picture is amazing. Want. Want so bad. I had to thin for a moment on the long-haired red-head. BTW, where's Lupin and Tonks? SO deserve a mention here!

AH. I LOVE IT. I'm such a major Harry Potter geek and I wish they would make an anime of it. Wow, this picture is amazing. I love it. Oh, and there is Tonks and Lupin.
It took me a minute to decipher between all the Weasley's and who Sirius was, but I got it eventually. ;P Anyways, I love this! So so so so so so much. (dies)

On the one hand, it makes me glad Harry Potter isn't an anime, because everyone looks way too pretty, even Snape and Winky (or is that Dobby? I just realized the house elf at the top is probably Kreacher). XD On the other hand though, this version of Tonks is SO much closer to what I had in mind while reading the books, barring the anime style. XD It's really well drawn, though!

Wow, this was really well drawn! I think Harry Potter would make an interesting anime, though all elements may not translate well.

Ok maybe someone can help me out here. There are two people I can't figure out for sure who they are. The one next to Lupin I assumed is Sirius but then who is the guy standing back to back with Kreachher? Sirius's brother? That's my guess. Any know?

That is amazing!!!
EDIT: Oh, and Winry, yes, that is apparently Regulus Black.

Ah yes, i saw this a while back around the time of the release of the final HP movie!
The Malfoys fit the art style well, but that's just me. I was rather impressed at how well Professor Mcgonagall, Tonks, Luna Lovegood, and Olivander looked.
Also, lol, Sirius looks like he has vampire teeth. XD;

O.O The twins are hot.
Yes, everyone looked too pretty, but it's so...pretty XD
Also, I honestly think it looks like it would be a more interesting anime than movie or even book....'
Tonks is the Woman with Purple hair.(That was how she was described when she first apeared in the books)

Harry Potter could be a decent anime, if the art style was more like Monster or some other serious-themed show. The kids, Voldy and Dumbledore look fantastic, but I've seen bishies that look manlier than Snape here.

Speaking as someone who hasn't read the books, I think it could work as an anime because, if done right, it could actually engage us with some of the characters that die later on. I mean, in the last couple of movies it was like, "This character's dead." and I felt like I was supposed to care but mostly I was just thinking, "Who? Which?"
Also, a properly done anime would include all the stuff that I'm sure was in the books that did not make it into the movie.
In any case, there's a good chance I'd watch it. Or at least a few episodes of it.

^It seems that there are a lot of LilyxSeverus shippers on that site. I don't blame them.
I thought it was interesting, btw, that they included Regulus Black in the Banner. He was kind of awesome, in a way, even though he never actually appears in the story.

I think I recognize everyone except the red haired guy with glasses. Also, where's mad-eye?

I think the guy with the red hair and glasses is supposed to be Percy? I have no idea who the person with gray hair in a purple robe and hat next to Mcgonagall is. Does anyone know? Meanwhile, this was pretty awesome! Snape does look a little to much like a woman though.

I think the grey-haired lady is supposed to be Professor Sprout. She kinda looks like the Sprout from the movies, yes?

The redhead with the glasses is Percy, more likely than not. I'm pretty sure that, from the top down after Arthur and Molly, it's Charlie, Bill (with Fleur), Percy, and then Fred and George. XD

Half a second. Then I figured everyone out. Sad neh? >> I'm so deep in Harry Potter stuff. AHAHAH!!
I love this picture. It's beautiful. Snape does look a bit girly, but w/e. He looks great no matter whut!
<-- *Severus fan*
Blk, you are awesome and that should be noted. I love you for sharing that page!
So many SeverusxLily pics~! *melts*
Actually, I found Lily to be a brat... but... I digress. ^^;

I can't even figure out who Snape is. Is he supposed to be the girl lying in the flowers? I really hope not. I realize this is a fan drawing (and a pretty good one at that), but thank goodness they aren't actually making this into an anime.

Yes, Snape is the sleeping beauty~ <3 XDDD

If Harry Potter was an anime, well, I'd be a fangirl.
Hopefully, it would do the books justice.
I actually thought that the twins were the Hitachiin twins at first..... Dobby looks so huggable.

Actually no, that's Sirius Black. [spoiler]He dies first.[/spoiler]

Actually, he appeared a lot in the last book. What with Kreacher telling them all about the locket and all. o-e He was a pretty contributing factor to the HP plot. Without him the second chase for the locket wouldn't have been necessary. And how boring would it have been without that second Ministry break-in? xD ;D

I would disagree. Snape is Obviously on a bed of Lilies because he was in love with Lily, and Sirius Black was never mentioned to have long black hair.

For how well drawn this poster is. It should be, because it was done by a guy name Nakagawa, he was trying to get people know his artwork due to the fact that he wants to be an animator. He also had a site that had more designs of characters from the books, but it has been taken down.

Funny how over half of the Harry Potter pics in Pixiv are those of the past generation (James and Lily's.) I guess they feel they have more freedom with the character design that way; however none of them fails to portray James as some sort of smug chum while Severus is a shy and adorably effeminate boy.

I'm going to admit I'm not really a big fan of James. He seemed like a huge jerk, but I still agree with you. Severus was obviously kind of a jerk as a kid to considering how he treated Lily in the flashback from book 6 though. Then the way he treats Harry as an adult is less then friendly to. Severus isn't exactly a nice guy.
[spoiler]Even if he did love Lily. He still treated her son with contempt because of his father which is really just not right in my book. Don't blame the son for the sin of the father. He might have been a shy kid, but none the less. He wasn't exactly rainbows and puppies.
