Disney is buying up everything. They own Marvel, Star Wars, The Muppets, Pixar, and, of course, ABC TV.

So, crossing of the various of these companies holdings is inevitable, especially considering that this has been happening in Marvel for decades.

Indiana Jones and the Fantastic Four in the Galaxy of the Force, anyone?

I can see a point in time when JK Rowling sells out to Disney. Or someone else.

At least they're not doing the Ben 10 thing with giant heads.

Marvel has had crossover between their characters far before they were making super hero movies. They actually had a comic series dedicated to heroes teaming up, though it was largely Spider Man who teamed up with various other characters.

Disney already does it as well. The Phineas and Ferb Star Wars special was excellent.



I highly recommend watching the whole show.

Today's New York Times: J.K. Rowling Just Can’t Let Harry Potter Go - the article describes those who can't get enough and those who think Rowling should move on. I'm in the JKR needs to shut up category, myself. Reading that she tweeted last month to apologize for killing off Lupin is tedious in the extreme. People still take these witterings seriously?

But according to the article, the play is sold out for the next year sight unseen, so I suspect I'm in the minority.

My feelings exactly! Love J.K. Love the HP books. But I think she likes being in the news as much as some polticians, and her talent is wasted focusing on past accomplishments. She needs to be writing much more and a variety of projects. Imagine Stephen King doing nothing but yammering on about "The Stand" instead writing more and doing new projects. Even though he had a hard time letting go of projects also. You eventually must move on.

My gripe with JKR is that even though we have seen more HP writings, none of it is really new. It's all her either very slightly flushing out the existing books or wishful re-writings of the books.

Put out something new in the series, or move on. Let Pottermore be what it is, a way to explore the books with a bit more depth.

Remember, she did not write this play. Though I believe they did need to get her consent for it.

Rowling should have the decency to shut up already.

Word Of God pronouncements tend to be better accepted by authors who aren't being schizophrenic about whether or not they have ended the story.

...

If you want more Harry Potter, there is quite a bit of fanfiction out there, some of it actually well-written, consistent, and TBH of superior quality.
