Bored Panda got in touch with the author of this idea to learn more about her and this project. The woman revealed that she's a 28-year-old "nerd" living in Melbourne. She has been a huge "Potterhead" since grade school. "I basically grew up with Harry, Ron, and Hermoine and remember waiting in line at midnight for the release of each book."

"I came up with the idea to recreate the characters when I tried to find some fanworks of Hermione. I watched the movies and though I like Emma Watson, I always thought she was too gorgeous to be Hermione. I couldn't find any renditions of her that I thought were accurate so I ended up making her myself. People seemed to enjoy it so much that I decided to make more characters."

While some characters look similar to the ones one sees in the movies, others look nothing like them. For MsBananaAnna, Sirius was the one she personally liked the most. "I thought that was plucked straight from my head. Artbreeder can be pretty limiting in what you can do and can be a bit twiddly so not all of the characters came out as I wanted, but I thought Sirius came out as I imagined him! Dark and regally handsome."

Some of them look the same as the movie (similar enough) and chances are some of the actors were cast for their tallent as opposed to looking exactly like the characters. I know that Dan Radcliff had an alergic reaction, which is why they didn't use contacts.

Meh. The only one that is clearly more accurate than the movie casting is Hermione, who is supposed to have buck teeth and be a little homely, but they accidentally cast a girl who grew up to be one of the most beautiful women of all time. In the books, it is Ginny who is stunningly beautiful, so I guess this artist improved on that one slightly, but still didn't get there. The artist needs to study true redheads to learn how freckles are really distributed.

Loki’s Lil Butter Knife 2 years ago (edited)

This was done by an artificial intelligence art generator- so not a lot of hard work involved unless they were post-edited in Photoshop. You can easily create results like this using AI programs like Art Breeder. You give the AI a number of features or descriptions and the AI will comb its databank of images to generate a portrait based on the feedback. This databank often includes portraits of famous celebrities hence why many people say that some of these characters look like celebrities. The portraits may be edited in Photoshop later. Since these are done by AI, the portraits often look what many people call “uncanny valley, meaning that they look human enough but there’s a feature like the nose or eye colour that looks too perfect or unnatural. It’s really fascinating.

Try being nice and maybe spend as much time and energy this project took into something this creative even one time in your life. Whoever the artist is, major props, yeah a few main people are missing but I'm sure you have your reason and I give props for the mad effort this must have taken.

I think what you write is influenced a lot by how you grew up where you live,etc. I dont know how exactly it is in Britain, for sure there are different races of people , but I would say the white race is probably stll prevalent? maybe at least at some parts and I would say even more in the 90s when she started writing the series. I dont think it was intentional. if she didnt interact much with ppl from different races she would not think about adding them to the story. Still there are a few examples of ppl from different races: Dean Thomas, the Patil twins, Cho Chang, Kingsley, then she mentions some ppl at the ministry. She later realised this under-representation and she started adding more ppl from different backgrounds. I tell you in my country you could live all your life and never meet a black person. If I wrote a story where I wanted to add a black person it would be based just on what I saw in TV, not my personal experience and I could add some stereotypes unintentionaly
