What If Harry Potter Is A Ghibli Anime? These Stunning Artworks Have You Covered

Studio Ghibli’s most recent animated sensation, The Boy and the Heron, is making big strides in theaters worldwide. Reportedly Hayao Miyazaki’s last big work, the anime is widely praised for its simple yet beautiful story, the hidden meaning of self-recovery after trauma and grief, and of course, the trademark Ghibli-style breathtaking animation that mesmerized us all ever since The Castle in the Sky in 1986.

Now, how about Harry Potter, one of the most critically acclaimed and popular movie franchises in Hollywood history, is redrawn in Ghibli’s iconic style? Both Harry Potter and Ghibli anime boast some uncanny resemblances: they both tell compelling stories that are infused with magic and mystical creatures, and use them well to convey the deep and rich message within.
