Newsarama.com recently posted an op/ed piece about the final Harry Potter novel. The article speculated about Marvel, DC, or the Graphix line getting the rights to create a manga-digest-format-style Harry Potter comic book.
The recent success of Stephen King's Dark Tower prequel comic makes the idea a natural.
If something like this ever happens (though I doubt it will), I'll admit I've long wanted to see fuller stories on the background of the Potterverse.
A series about the founders of Hogwarts, the young Maruaders, the career of Dumbledore, etc all might be fun.

I am relieved that the "Harry Potter" graphic novel series is a comic book and not Harry running around naked with his horse a la Equus.

I'd read it! I've read some fan-created works and something about it really worked for me.
In a boarding school setting, there's ton of room for more humourous side adventures or maybe a concentration on minor characters. And of course the history of Hogwarts and that universe is just ripe for storytelling.

If JK Rowling writes it and Mary GrandPré illustrates it, then yes. Otherwise, no.
Rowling's style and humor and characterization are what make the books for me. I wouldn't enjoy anyone else writing the characters. For me it'd be like trying to read Ender fanfic -- if OSC doesn't write it there's no point.

Not even a little bit tired of Harry Potter, but ... I don't think I'd read it, unless it was the only book in the bathroom. Definitely wouldn't buy it.
I just don't do well with graphic novels.
