A series of many genres, including fantasy, drama, coming-of-age fiction, and the British school story (which includes elements of mystery, thriller, adventure, horror, and romance), the world of Harry Potter explores numerous themes and includes many cultural meanings and references. All versions around the world are printed by Grafica Veneta in Italy. The series was originally published in English by Bloomsbury in the United Kingdom and Scholastic Press in the United States. The main story arc concerns Harry's conflict with Lord Voldemort, a dark wizard who intends to become immortal, overthrow the wizard governing body known as the Ministry of Magic and subjugate all wizards and Muggles (non-magical people).

The novels chronicle the lives of a young wizard, Harry Potter, and his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, all of whom are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

We came to them saying, 'This feels like it could be very very cool.' And as a kid who grew up reading those comic books, that's the stuff I love.Īlso, Anthony Mackie is very funny in our movie, and I like the idea that Scott Lang is tasked with getting this piece of equipment, he’s got to come up against the Falcon but he’s also a fanboy so he’s kind of apologizing when he’s fighting him.Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by British author J. Marvel never ever came and said, 'You’ve gotta work Thor into the movie!' There was none of that stuff. What would the combination of their two powers be like? It started to feel organic to our movie. We all loved Anthony Mackie in (the Captain America sequel) Winter Soldier, and we all loved the idea of Mackie and Rudd squaring off. We talked a lot about who it could be and Falcon just felt like the right thing. It made sense to pit Scott Lang against something or somebody before he was really ready. We were doing a heist movie and one of the tropes is that trial by fire where everything is organized with the heist but, oh, there’s this one piece of technology we don’t have and we have to send our hero into this situation to get it and he might not be fully prepared. You have both an Antony - as in Ant-Man’s loyal insect friend - and an Anthony - as in Mackie who plays the winged Avenger Falcon - in the film.īringing Falcon into the movie really was when Paul Rudd and Adam McKay were starting the rewrites and we were talking about elements that we wanted to add.

Sequel to things we never got over
