In an unexpected move, the Harry Potter series is collaborating with a renowned anime and manga franchise, Detective Conan. The Harry Potter universe is exploring various projects in an attempt to recreate the enchantment that the initial novels and films once captured, and this collaboration is part of those efforts. This unique partnership has just made its debut in Japan, as Harry Potter is now joining forces with one of the longest-running (and highly popular) anime and manga series still active today.
The official social media platforms for Harry Potter and Detective Conan, as reported by Oricon News, have unveiled that they are launching a joint project between the two universes. Although specifics about this collaboration are yet to be disclosed, the partnership has begun with a unique poster showcasing both teams prepared to conquer the globe. Here’s the first glimpse at the Harry Potter and Detective Conan crossover: [Insert image]
Why Is Detective Conan Teaming Up With Harry Potter?
I’ve been pondering over the intriguing alliance between these two popular franchises, and here are my thoughts on why they might have chosen to collaborate. Firstly, both leading characters are instantly recognizable by their unique eyewear, a detail that resonated strongly with fans when the crossover was first unveiled. Secondly, it seems that both franchises maintain a significant presence at Universal Studios Japan. However, the specifics of what this collaboration will lead to remain undisclosed for now.
Although “Detective Conan” may not be as well-known in the U.S., where many fans might recognize it as “Case Closed,” it enjoys immense popularity in its homeland, Japan. The original manga was first published by Gosho Aoyama in Weekly Shonen Sunday, a publication by Shogakukan, back in 1994 and has continued to release new chapters since then. Each Japanese theatrical release of the anime series has consistently topped the box office, making it even more successful than the “Harry Potter” franchise in that region.
What’s Next for Detective Conan?
The anime series “Detective Conan” has been doing exceptionally well on foreign screens, and it’s set to release another film this Spring titled “Detective Conan: One-Eyed Flashback.” This will be the 28th installment in the long-running franchise, premiering in Japanese theaters starting April 18th. As of now, no international release dates for the new movie have been announced, suggesting that fans living outside Japan might have to wait a while before they can watch it. Given its less popularity in the West, the wait could potentially be long.
Regarding the upcoming film, “Detective Conan: One-Eyed Flashback,” here’s a hint about what to anticipate: Known as Shinichi Kudo, a student detective who assists the police with his sharp wit and reasoning skills, solving even the trickiest of criminal cases, is the son of a renowned mystery writer. With the exciting news that this series is teaming up with “Harry Potter,” we can expect progress on this project to pick up speed in no time.
