I absolutely adore this series, but I don't think it would work in movie form. What makes the books (for me, at least) is narration and there's no way to include it in the movie: no one going to like constant voice-over, so we lose a great part of the books right away. And I imagine the movie would make all kind of unnecessary changes - like upping Kitty's role in the first movie, because if there's a hero, movies have to include a heroine and hints at romance*, even though romance is the farthest thing from what was going on there. And they would probably cut Bartimaeus' many forms (because it would be costly to include them) and give him a couple of trademark forms - the gargoyle form and Ptolemy, most likely - and make him keep them even when it makes little sense in the situation. And I don't know... I just get the feeling that visually it would be a CGI mess. I think Bartimaeus could work if it was traditionally animated, because then you could keep the demon characters realistic-looking (so that they can be properly impressive and terrifying and dignified when the mood demands it), but be able to make them shift to a cartoony* version of themselves (when the mood switches to being more-lighthearted) and give them certain traits that would carry through their appearance shifts (even if it's just character's voice).

* Cna you imagine if they tried to make it an outright love triangle between Kitty, Nat and Bartimaeus?

** cartoony in expression, I mean... like in anime? I don't think cartoon style in tself is a good choice for this series. The comic book, for example, was done in a completely unsuitable style. I don't know why they had to hire that artist, but for me personally their work was hard to look at.
