Potterglyphics: Harry Potter, encapsulated - Time Out Chicago Kids Just in time for the final installment of the Harry Potter movie series (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two, in theaters Friday 15), Chicago cartoonist Lucy Knisley has finished and unveiled her complete Harry Potter condensed comic, aptly titled The Summharry. As you’ll see if you download the poster at her site, Knisley does an amazing job of condensing the complete series into a humorous, witty, good-natured parody, rife with inside Potter jokes. TOCK caught up with Lucy to get the details. The hardest part, she recounts, was condensing the whole series into the eight comics. (As with the films, Knisley split J.K.
