Thing That Might Have to Exist

Harry Potter As a Disney Movie

by Jamie Frevele | 2:27 pm, July 30th, 2011


As a newly-minted Harry Potter fan and life-long Disney fan, this interpretation of the former in the style of the latter makes my heart so warm that it’s bubbling. Joyfully, not dangerously. DeviantArtist Makani is behind these character portraits and, oh my goodness, all her work is so great. But here, just an idea of what Harry Potter would look like as a Disney movie.

They are all here! Nice work, Makani. Except now, I’m going to forever wish this would actually become a real movie. Please click and say “Engorio!” to embiggen.

    fabulous to continue in any way possible, a brilliant idea that is taken body already : i see future, lol and a creativity rage like the films and books, or even more because it is funny to see too by children ~

    These drawings are actually pretty old…I remember looking at her drawings to help me through the long waits between movies. All of her stuff is amaaaaazing! Check out her comics and scenes on her page as well.

    I love them really but seriously Harry just looks a wee bit more .. sexay than the rest. Love them.

    I would watch the HELL out of this, and then develop unhealthy feelings towards Cartoon Sirius.

    These are really old, as in, a few years back Leaky Cauldron used them for pictures during their April Fools day wizard twitter thing.

    I totally forgot about these. Thanks for the reminder. I’d love to see it done graphic novel-style.

     Oh my god, yes. I’m so glad I’m not the only one who noticed the roguishness of Sirius. Yum.

    You think THOSE are good, you should see her version of GLaDOS.

    It is interesting to compare this to the anime version of Harry Potter that was on reddit a few days ago.  http://imgur.com/A9o5X

    I’ve been a huge fan of Makani’s art forever, and while these are old, she is by far my favorite HP fan artist ever and I frequently visit her collection of Harry Potter art on http://acciobrain.ligermagic.com/ . Her style is just so awesome and while reminiscent of Disney, is all her own. Nice feature!
