The more I think about it, the more I think that a version of Harry Potter identical to the ones released in our world would do significantly better than ones “localized” for the IST world. A localized one would fall into the “been there, done that” market and be overlooked. But, one like our version would be more unique to them. A secret, magical world without supers? Brilliant!
For us, sure, the idea of an “alternate” world where fantastic things can happen is common place. But, in the IST world, the fantastic is commonplace. Mundane worlds would be rare things to have written about. The novelty would probably help the sales.
Plus . . . White Star Trading could easily provide the manuscripts to Joanne Rowling, to have her “write the books” on the IST world.
