The “Harry Potter” franchise doesn’t seem like it’s going to die out anytime soon (like “Star Wars”). From movies to books to plays, the series has appeared in countless art forms. Now, it’s about to become a comic.
So, what’s the deal? J.K. Rowling recently approved a comic to benefit those affected by the shooting at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub called “Love is Love.” It’s a comic anthology created by DC Comics, IDW Publishing, and includes more than 200 writers and illustrators. All of the proceeds will directly benefit the survivors of the tragic shooting. The anthology will feature Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Dumbledore, alongside characters like Superman and Catwoman.
The comic above was drawn by Jim Lee, showing Professor Albus Dumbledore with Harry, Ron, and Hermione lighting up a magical rainbow flag with their wands. This is significant, as Rowling confirmed Dumbledore was gay after the books were published. A quote from “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” will appear alongside it, reading:
“Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.”
You can pre-order “Love Is Love” now for $10. It is for official released sometime in late 2016.
