AI Shows What Harry Potter Characters Would Look Like Based On Their Book Descriptions

A movie can never be 100% like the book.

Naturally, there will be a few differences. Some characters or details may be left out because it would extend the movie time too much. Not all the descriptions of the characters might fit because you can never actually find someone who looks exactly like what the book describes. However, not being completely identical to the book does not mean that the movie is not amazing. These are two different media and they have their own way of showing the magic. Speaking of magic, most of us grew up with the Harry Potter books and films. They were a great part of our childhood. Some of us read the books first and later watched the movies. There are some complaints such as Peeves not being a part of the movies or the very famous “HARRY, DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?” If you have read the books, you already know what I mean. Even though the casting for the Harry Potter movies was amazing, it was still not 100% accurate, which is not possible anyway. There were some age differences as well. So the characters that you see in the movies are not exactly what they are described as in the books.

Anna, aka msbananaanna, a content creator from Melbourne tweeted some AI generated pictures of the Harry Potter characters according to their descriptions in the novels. This is something that we did not know that we needed, but now that we have it, we are so happy. You will see below the huge differences in some characters while others can be uncannily similar.

There will always be a few mismatches whenever you turn a novel into a movie. You just have to work with what you can find. Some people prefer movies while others prefer books. Movies give you great visuals while books can give you very detailed information about characters and scenarios. The people who enjoy both are the real winners. “I originally wanted to create a plainer, more accurate book version of Hermione,” Anna told BuzzFeed when discussing her inspiration behind the series of photos. “I always thought Emma Watson was too pretty, as Hermione was never described as attractive, and she was missing her signature buck teeth and bushy hair.”
