I've been meaning to get this off my chest! D:
Ok, so you know how Wybie's character was just made for the movie and is solely created by Henry Selick?
Well i have news for YOU! That's not fully true. At least not ALL of it.
For those of you who HAVE read the book, this should perhaps make more sense if you read the last couple of pages with care as to each and every word printed in the pages.
According to others, yes Wybie does not exist anywhere in the book.
BUUUUUT in the soft-cover black edition of Coraline that me and my friend have, specifically at the top of page 256, the name " Mister Lovat" is mentioned.
This is in the original story, after Coraline returns home to speak with Ms. Spink and Forcible. The hand is still following her. As she leads it to the well while playing with her dolls, Ms. Spink shouts out to her before she runs off that she better be careful out in the woods and not stray off too far. That there was once a Mister Lovat who had lived in the Pink Palace apartments before Coraline. He had lived there and had mentioned something to them about a dangerous old well and something even more mysterious.
But she cuts her sentence off saying "but that, Coraline, is another story..."
MISTER LOVAT come on! XD Henry Selick could NOT have JUST thought out that name out of no where and just HAPPEN to be in the book.
Note: the illustration-verion CUT OUT this part about "Mr. Lovat" and just warned Coraline to take care in the woods. I was a little disappointed D:
so yes, it isn't entirely true that "Wybie" never existed before the movie.
Then again, Mr Lovat could have been ANYONE (OK not ANYONE) but perhaps his grandfather? his father (which we still have NO idea about his deceased parents), or maybe Wybie himself?
And YES I take into consideration that the book just probably had this character as the past person who experienced the "other world" and Selick found it easy to match up the lastname with the secondary character Wybie for reference instread of him just being random. I can see it.
Anywho, the idea just bemuses me (:
Me and my friend even CIRCLED the word MISTER LOVAT just to show what great fans we are XD *weirdos*
ok I feel better now XD you can shoot me now!
Once I get a camera, I shall take a picture of the page too! just as proof! ;D
