Of course I have the standard, "ZOMG! I want these as prints on my wall!!1!" but more than that they remind me that we havent seen just a whole lot of quality HP art. Are they super stingy with the rights?

I believe so. Was really excited they were releasing a new book for book 1 with illustrations, then I saw it. Meh, its cool, but not as cool as I hoped.

But, I did tweet with Nico Delort and he said a goal for next year was more HP art from him, so there is hope!

Surely there's lots of other stuff you should be more bummed about.

Because everyone wouldn't just compare it to his 3 masterpieces and tell him it doesn't measure up.

So, because he already made an iconic set for the original trilogy, he should avoid the property forever because of fear of criticism?

No, but he should avoid it until he is finished digesting the film and feels genuinely inspired enough by it to make good art.

He's doing exactly the right thing by turning down work til then. There is no amount of crow for him to eat.

He already sounds as though he's been inspried enough. I've read his tweets and he seemed to thouroughly enjoy the movie. I'm sure he's wiser now...just needs to strike a better deal for himself than what Mondo did for his first set. I've no idea what that deal was...I just sense some bitterness regarding the subject. It's none of my business, really.

Just go for it, Olly.
