Woman Shows How “Harry Potter” Characters Were Supposed To Look According To Book Descriptions (35 Pics)
Interview With ArtistWhen comparing books and their movie adaptations, books almost always prove to be better. One of the reasons is that a film does not always manage to convey the same imagery as a book in which emotions are blended with visuals. When reading, one can form a completely different image of a place or a character and have entirely another general feeling of a story.
When creating a film adaptation, the cast is usually chosen according to the characteristics described in a book. However, the looks are not always so precise. With that in mind, one Vietnamese woman (to her followers known as MsBananaAnna) decided to use artificial intelligence to see what Harry Potter characters would look like based on book descriptions.

Sirius Black
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."
Fleur Delacour
Nymphadora Tonks
"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."
Severus Snape
Tom Riddle
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."
Lily Potter
Narcissa Malfoy
The recreations of Harry Potter characters got a lot of attention on Reddit (here and here) where MsBananaAnna (or, as she calls herself on Reddit, lettuceown) posted them.
What looks are your favorites? Leave a comment and let us know!
Argus Filch
Ginevra Weasley
Not too bad, I don’t think she was casted well in the movies anyways.
Cho Chang
Her name though. 🤦♀️ When every other girl has a nice / interesting / exotic name the only Asian girl has the worst most stereotypical name going.
Charlie Weasley
Still upset there was not more of him. He works with dragons! Dragons!! He looks handsome in this recreation, too.
Lucius Malfoy
Hermione Granger
Because, she was portrayed as a ugly duckling in the book. Buck toothed with wild bushy hair. JK Rollings actually questioned if Emma Watson would be right for the role, since she was too pretty. She was a geek to the core and became one of the most important characters in the book. Letting you know, don't judge a book by the cover. (Pun not intended, but it fits)
The AI program stitches together different characteristics…the software didn’t smooth them out very well on her lol. It’s not too far off of the movie depiction tho. Those eyebrows otoh!
Except after puberty, she evolved into a hot redhead babe with a tan. Which is highly improbable
Like Luna Lovegood, they did cast a more well-looking actor for Hermione Granger than the character in the books. The movieworld love to pretty up their protagonists.. Hermione Granger was described as having bushy brown hair and brown eyes. With large buck teeth. - Only in a later book, she had them made smaller magically by Madam Promfrey after a curse by Draco.
At least she still had the brunette hair and brown eyes in the film.
That's the problem, they took an interesting geek character with a specific look and made her pretty and more acceptable to the masses
She had prominent front teeth as mentioned in the book. Her dentist parents wanted to fix and possibly apply braces. After the long tooth spell aimed at Harry hit her, the nurse reversed the process slight down further to 'normalcy'. Hair could have been more bushy.
But her parents are dentists, so wouldn't her teeth have been fixed?
I get the casting of Emma Watson when she was young, but she grew out of the look...
For the people saying her teeth aren't big enough, if they were bigger she'd look like a caricature.
Has Hermione never brushed her teeth? Her parents are dentists! And she's too young to have them so yellow. Unless she's an 11 year old with a serious coffee habit.
Normal people actually have this color teeth. It is unnatural and actually bad for your teeth to beach them until they are white like bone.
Load More Replies...Yeah I know that. I wasn't suggesting she needs bright white teeth. But these are extra yellow. Teeth yellow with age and she's not old enough for that color. Unless she's smoking and drinking coffee. BTW my original comment was in jest. These aren't pictures of real people. You know that right?
I know these are not real people, but it's ok when they look like them. And even children can have yellowish teeth (although I do not think they ARE so very yellow). I had. My children do too. My dentist said it's genetic. Plus: we do drink lots of tee and tee is one of the reasons for yellow teeth. And as nearly no one in my country bleeches their teeth, it's not "abnormal" or "ugly" or even out of the ordinary.
And you have fluoride in your water? Or ARE YOU a dentist or specialize in the POROSITY OF DENTIN OVER GEOGRAPHY? This description is normal for that island.
The only bones(and teeth) that are white, are long dead ones (sun bleach) and bottle bleached ones.
Our bones ar3 actually not really white. And i brushed my teeth very well as a kid too, but i nver had clean white color. More like a cream white, obvious that teeth wouldn't be a bright white as well. Also, i have one teeth, just oney that is outstandingly more yellowish then the rest, and my dentist told me its healthy and there is no problem with it. So, sometimes teeth can be more yellow for unknown reasonsy, probably jus tlike people have different reactions to many many things in life.
My teeth are that color and I never drink tea, coffee, or soda. They've been that color since they came in. Some people just have naturally very yellow teeth.
I always thought the movies got less and less accurate when it came to Hermione....they completly abandoned the bushy hair after about the third movie.....
I dont think she was meant to look like an ugly humanoid troll though ..she was described as somewhat nerdy with shaggy hair, thats all.. As the stories progressed she actually was described to have grown into herself quite beautfilly, prompting Ron to like her.. I think this is probably the worst rendition of your characters.. But I do think some other portrayels of some characters are pretty accurate..
Only morons who think it's okay to blackwash characters (but a cardinal sin to whitewash! Neither is okay -- leave established characters the way they were established) do. JK Rowling literally pointed out any time a character wasn't white (Dean Thomas, Lee Jordan, Angelina Johnson, etc.), but she never once said Hermione was black.
Load More Replies...Well, those morons would include the author of the books, though. JK has said she never specified Hermione's race on purpose, and it makes sense for her to be black, and she was happy to have the character cast as black in Cursed Child. Now, JK is a moron about many things, and is certainly guilty of pretending her books are more diverse after the fact. But I say we take her on her word on this one, because why not?
Here’s the quote from the book. Hermione is black. "They were there, both of them, sitting outside Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor—Ron looking incredibly freckly, Hermione very brown, both waving frantically at him." Very brown! White ppl are white. Whether they lay in the sun or a tanning bed to emulate POCs doesn’t matter bc the color doesn’t remain. She is not white. 🤣
She is as black as you are sane or smart...NOT ONE BIT. Where's this hatred for white people comes from ? Do you realize you read a book written by a white author with a white protagonist ? Don't you think it's foolish to hate the same race who produced this peace of literature ? And who the hell told you that white people goes to tan to emulate black monsters ???? Honestly, you're disgusting
Perfect. That is what an eleven-year-old bookworm with mad hair would look like.
This would be mostly accurate if her teeth didn't look nicotine stained
Those teeth are normally colored I have those colored teeth and mine aren’t unhealthy.
Load More Replies...Fact: Emma Watson was going to wear fake buckteeth but she couldn't talk with them on
JEsus. I feel like she’s exactly the kind of person I would have been friends with in elementary school, but at the same time I’m kind of horrified.
Why does everyone assumed to be white? I always thought Hermione black/brown, because of her big curly hair
Prob bc of the illustrations on the covers of the books
Load More Replies...Because you're dumb? JK Rowling LITERALLY pointed out any time a character was black and she never once said Hermione was. Not to mention she even drew her as white and agreed with the casting of a white girl in the movies. Why do you assume people to be black? Why is one okay but the other isn't?
Thank you for that compliment. Maybe think before calling someone dumb. What did I ever do to you to get that kind of attitude. Damn woman. Calm your tits.
They aren't racist if they are just pointing out facts. Not everything is racist
Now a cute ugly - in old age just ugly. Her eyebrows are like tall grass and as wide as her eyes! At the right age, they will far outstrip those of... Lily Collins.
Not much difference from Emma Watson's role, though the depicted hair definitely fits the "Wavy" description.
When I was reading these, I read the title and then looked at the photos, and when I saw this one I went “Hermione Grang-oooooh god
Photoshopped characters..this one takes the cake..she looks a bit whacked out on her knowledge.. stop raising your hand Hermione..you only Tick off professor Snape..and trim those eye brows while you're at it..
her eyelashes are too thick. and her skin is too perfect. but shes perfect. but like, LOOK AT THOSE EYELASHES!! like, damn... i want her eyelashes... shes making me jealous
Doesn't she at some point I think for the Ball use the hair stuff Harry's father invented
Jaysus Murphy Brown! The poster child for the face of a British person
The Irony is that both her parents are Dentists but those are really bad teeth
she was not able to wear the big teeth as an actor because they messed up her speech.
Not bad!! Seeing these recreations, it makes me appreciate the casting for HP all that much more. They we're all very close to the book's description of them. 👍
Please, the previous Hermione is better!!! SHE LITERALLY HAS HER TEETH FALLING OUT!!!!!
In this rendition, Hermione actually looks like wiser version of the average schoolgirl her age, which would be accurate.
Ok this makes me really glad she didn't look like her description. Already not a fan of HP (though FB is another story. Pun intended). Don't think I could have gotten past this face long enough to watch it. Lol
All it said was her front teeth were bigger than the back, like bunny teeth. Not mismatched and all short weird ground-down like... also her hair isnt frizzy enough. Honestly, Emma watson in the 1 and 2 movies is a great portrayal of Hermione, with a slightly prettier face but Hermione wasnt meant to be ugly, just average but also unkempt because she focuses on school...
Imposible que tenga dientes amarillos. Sus padres eran dentistas. 🤗🤭🤭
Imposible que tenga dientes amarillos, sus padres eran dentistas🤗
There are no descriptions of Hermione in the books beyond "fluffy brown hair". She was played by a Black actress in the play - and that is probably MORE accurate than this.
Heroine’s parents were dentists and they remarked over and over how large her teeth are. Hermione used some of her first magic to correct them. She would have gorgeous teeth- I dont know what this artist was reading.
Sorry on this one but you are way off. She looks like a pixie or something. She wasn’t supposed to be so cute. The one in the movie was cute too but when she opened her mouth I said that’s Hermione. She’s perfect.
Like the teeth before she had them fixed. Hair could be a little bushier but this us a good one
I don’t think her teeth would have been yellow, her parents are dentists after all.
That's the point. She wasn't supposed to look that good according to the books. She was supposed to be nerdier and less attractive per the book description.
you can learn to slightly not be terrified if you look at it for long enough
She was described as having buck-teeth in the books and incredibly frizzy/bushy hair.
I always thought the character of Hermione totally went against the book's description!
I'm thankful there is no woke-b******t about Hermoine being a Black girl...
"They were there, both of them, sitting outside Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor—Ron looking incredibly freckly, Hermione very brown, both waving frantically at him." That’s a quote from the author. Right out of her book. 🤣🤣
The eyebrows are weird. I get that they were going for too heavy eyebrows, but something isn't right with it. Also thought her hair was supposed to be a lot more untamable. This just looks curly unkempt. And what's with the 'recently dead' skin tone?

Because 1. the majority of successful A and B list American actors are usually attractive anyway (blame Hollywood) and 2. Because real people, like you and me, don't have make-up crews to powder out every pore, zit, scar and mole for 2 hours before getting in front of the camera. Look around you. Most people are average with a few good traits and a few that are not generally considered as good (again, by Hollywood standards). That is all just a construct anyway and totally superficial. Is it more important to you that your favorite characters are hot or that they have depth? You decide what matters to you. For me, I'll take a layered character over a shiny one any day of the week. Which is ironic for book fans to even care about anyway since you create those characters in your minds eye first anyway based on the author's description. The big screen character will always never be what you pictured in that big beautiful brain of your anyway, innit?
Uhm... Nooo... Hermione Granger was black (in the book). Why is this white-washing her?
Think she is cute not perfect. Emma Watson was way too pretty for the role. All they did was miss up her hair a bit and she was suppose to look plain. Come on really
She is cute. Emma Watson was too pretty for the part described in the books
Looks like bella and Edward child off of twilight off of twilight when she older
Why her teeth look so yellow? 🤢 I can’t believe she didn’t knew a spell for whitening 😬
Why her teeth looks so yellow? I can’t believe she didn’t knew a spell to whitening her teeth 😡
Apparently she is actually black according to J.K. Rowling. They also tried to make he have buck teeth in the movie but she could not act in them.
She's not black. In prisoner of azkaban there's a time when harry says Hermione's face turned white from fear. I dont think that's possible if you have dark skin(i have dark skin). Rowling is just trying to be inclusive
Why do her teeth look like that, when her parents are dentists? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Remus Lupin
Harry Potter
Luna Lovegood
Draco Malfoy
Neville Longbottom
Fred And George Weasley
Lord Voldemort
James Potter
Ronald Weasley
those eyes are boring into my soul please stop smiling like that ron!
Bellatrix Lestrange
Vernon Dursley
Cedric Diggory
Dudley Dursley
Petunia Dursley
Dolores Umbridge
Peter Pettigrew
Merope Riddle (Voldemort's Mother)
Why did the AI make wall-eyed? Was that described in the book? Book 6 isn't my fave so I've not read it enough to remember.((people have already pointed out the description that I wasn't recalling. Kinda don't need multiple comments restating the same thing))
Bill Weasley
Longer hair. Earring with a fang. More cool, less dorky. Probably got confused with Percy.
Minerva Mcgonagall
No, sorry, but even before seeing Maggie Smith in that role she was the spitting image for my personal McGonagall.
Pansy Parkinson
Gilderoy Lockhart
Viktor Krum
Seriously where are everyones cheeks?! No one is fed in the books apparently. Chiseled jawlines and sunken cheeks.
Read my mind! I was thinking that the Hogwarts cafeteria must be short staffed.
Load More Replies...That’s exactly what I was thinking. Somebody needs to conjure up a vitamin potion.
Lol, they're probably the perfect weight...people think overweight is supposed to be healthy.
Yes! Malfoy looked like he was locked up with no food or something...
Well, their food is conjured out of thin air, after all. And prepped by house elves, who presumably know very little about nutrition and are kept as slaves. Perfectly executed, generational revenge, keeping your masters subtly malnourished.
So no Dumbledore, Molly, Arthur, or Percy, but we get Voldemort’s mom??
The only image of hagrid I need in life is ps1 hagrid. Ima make him my pfp, splitting image of gorgeous
They probably thought the other characters looked close enough to the books.
Oh ffs how much handholding do you need?! Read the books and you'll notice they got those roles absolutely spot-on. That's why they're not in this list, there'd be no point.
So we put Voldemort mom but not, the man with the half moon spectacles
At least some people read the books (no offence to movie watchers)
the man with .... his name is DUMBLEDORE. The HEADMASTER? Harry's friend and mentor? The Jiminy to Harry's Pinocchio? Honestly wtf...
Nice try, but I don't buy it. Not all sisters look alike, but Lily and Petunia have nothing in common. And Harry is supposed to have his mothers eyes.
All of the faces seem to have been "crafted" from 3 molds. Standard male, standard female and wide.
Load More Replies...Most of them look too young, and they mostly seem built on the same two or three basic face shapes.
I really wish these were not described as being created by A.I, because artificial intelligence is not what created these. They're not much more than an identikit from a selection of features, and put together by a simple algorithm. That's why most of them look very similar.
I thought the movie casting was very well done. And don't nobody do crazy like Helena Bonham Carter!
Everyone's eyes are either too big or have an unnatural colour. Or both.
most of these are too thin or too chunky to be believable as the characters. and, it seems AI has a thing for narrow/pointy chins. but, a couple of them were pretty good.
Everyone had a sharp chin? So no one in that whole universe was square jawed?
How do any of these make the story any better? You couldn't get actors that look like this so the ones we know already fit better.
That quickly got boring, unfortunately. Also, it seems that the AI used to make the faces has a block on anything that would make the characters truly ugly and it seems that the artist read the books quite a long time ago and not as often or as well as they watched the films (Voldemort without the red eyes ? Brown haired V. Dursley ?)
i dont know i am not much impressed. voldy is missing red eyes, wormtail looks like a mutant. some of these are just a fantasy of the author or they are just adjusted versions of the film
Judging by the striking resemblance between these renditions and the actors, I suppose the AI was queried with charecter names and not only descriptions, so it rendered what it's learned about these characters from its source dataset imagery.
That uncomfortable moment when you realize there were absolutely no Black characters.
Waste of time. Her AI images are no more "authoritative" than every reader's imagination or the way the characters were cast for the movies.
Waste of time. Her visions of what her AI is programmed to think they look like any more than every person who read the books imagination or the movie casting.
I think MANY in the wizarding world aren’t living the high life. And a LOT of characters are described as gaunt or gnarled, which doesn’t lend to plump cheeks. The Vernon and Dudley are spot on though! Mrs, Weasley, we’re she featured, would have been plump. She described MANY times as being rounder and formidable. Haha
Hey! I know... Hows about we run photos of the actors through five filters and call it a day, huh?
It rather look like “morons” Thanks to the director 🤠 for choosing the best cast , To make the potter charcters fiil the bill of this roles
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. Though, I did wonder why they didn't just chance his eye colour in post production. p.s.I think these are AI created images, which is why Tonk's 'shaved head' look look like a comb back style
The movies messed up hermione as the main one I remember. She was supposed to be pretty much average, not too pretty, not too ugly. They went to the top end of the scale on some and only a few characters look how they should
Regardless how they actually looked, we grew up with them, the existing cast
You do understand that you're NOT an artist if the art is by an AI - right?
Unless the AI output was post-edited in Photoshop, I 100 percent agree with you. Programs like Art Breeder make it extremely easy to generate portraits like this based on descriptions and keywords the user provides.
Impressed! The painter did not set out to make juvenile 'collectors cards ' of every character. She chose an interesting selection and her skill is remarkable, whether we agree of not with the interpretation.
I'd say the movies did an exceptional job casting actors, applying makeup to be consistent with the book descriptions of the characters.
I'd say the movies did justice to the book descriptions of the characters.... quite impressed.
Most of these are pretty dam horrible looking so I. Glad they went the route they did
they were pretty good! they weren't exactly what i was thinking because they all do look like they need some McDonalds or Whataburger, but i do love the outcome! :)
Some of the people chosen to play the characters were pretty good picks if you just deprive them of bread for a month it would be spot on
They all look way too young, and emaciated. I'm fine with how the movie portrayed them all!
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.

This is just absurd and dumb, these characters still look like they come out of a water damaged comic strip.
These are pretty close to what I saw in my head in 5th grade. It's like the artist is living inside my mind o.o
You could poke someone’s eye out with most of the chins in these drawings. Why does almost everyone have the same jawline?
Fleur, Cho, and Luna were the only ones who looked like their real characters. The others, not so much. Sorry.
Some of these were so bad they were ridiculous. She wasted her time. I read the books too and when I saw the first movie I was blown away by how closely all the actors fit their parts.
like on Halloween or the Wizard of OZ they r all the same thing thin faced
I wish they did a side by side of the character rendering and the casted actor.
None of these look like what my mind pictured when I read the books. And yes I read them long before I ever saw the movies. These are completely unrealistic and what's with the weird eyes and malnourished look? Just weird
A bit weird this....but the movies largely nailed it? Also did I miss a book that has detailed character descriptions?
The reason mad eye moody isn't on here is because it's embarrassing how bad a job they did
She should have add all of the other characters. Hagrid, Dumbledore, Trelawny, etc.
According to the book descriptions? No, according to this artist's interpretations. Some of them are pretty good. Some, not so much
This wasn’t done by an artist—this was done by artificial intelligence.
Most of these were just like the movies .. the rest weren't too disappointing ... if I was disappointed, it would have been with the change in storylines, but not with descriptions of characters ...
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.
Despite everyone's criticism I'd say the producers did a fairly good job of finding people to look like the books. AND this is just ONE person's idea of how they should look according to descriptions in the book.
This was done by artificial intelligence as mentioned at the start of the thread-so, AI is the one to be “congratulated”
I liked almost all of them (Gilderoy is too handsome, and he should have a weak chin). I don't understand why everyone is critical.
All y'all are rude, for every complement there 25 people complaining about something rather than enjoying the art this person created for us to enjoy and discuss. Yeah everyone expects a few naysayers and hecklers but most of you people are just down right aweful. 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.

This is age shaming, the older characters are too young in this...... It's like Sirius should be older.... Harry's parents were at least middle 20 when he was born and after that 11 years so it's fine to Severus, Sirius, Remus, Petigeew the Weasley family be almost in their 40's
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
Load More Replies...I definitely think having a wide variety of ppl included is good but I dont like the trend to just add a person from a different race or from LGBT+ just for the sake of adding them because then it seems forced. for sure you saw films when they added asian/black/LGBT/(insert minorities) characters just for meeting some quotas and the character never did anything meaningful and behaved in a way that the audience criticized it for spreading stereotypes and claiming that they dont feel represented by this character. AS for HP: the races are alegorically represented by purebloods, muggleborns, halfbloods and different beings such as centaurs or house elves. these races are more important to the story than our traditional races

Hey! I know... Hows about we run photos of the actors through five filters and call it a day, huh?
It rather look like “morons” Thanks to the director 🤠 for choosing the best cast , To make the potter charcters fiil the bill of this roles
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. Though, I did wonder why they didn't just chance his eye colour in post production. p.s.I think these are AI created images, which is why Tonk's 'shaved head' look look like a comb back style
The movies messed up hermione as the main one I remember. She was supposed to be pretty much average, not too pretty, not too ugly. They went to the top end of the scale on some and only a few characters look how they should
Regardless how they actually looked, we grew up with them, the existing cast
You do understand that you're NOT an artist if the art is by an AI - right?
Unless the AI output was post-edited in Photoshop, I 100 percent agree with you. Programs like Art Breeder make it extremely easy to generate portraits like this based on descriptions and keywords the user provides.
Impressed! The painter did not set out to make juvenile 'collectors cards ' of every character. She chose an interesting selection and her skill is remarkable, whether we agree of not with the interpretation.
I'd say the movies did an exceptional job casting actors, applying makeup to be consistent with the book descriptions of the characters.
I'd say the movies did justice to the book descriptions of the characters.... quite impressed.
Most of these are pretty dam horrible looking so I. Glad they went the route they did
they were pretty good! they weren't exactly what i was thinking because they all do look like they need some McDonalds or Whataburger, but i do love the outcome! :)
Some of the people chosen to play the characters were pretty good picks if you just deprive them of bread for a month it would be spot on
They all look way too young, and emaciated. I'm fine with how the movie portrayed them all!
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.

This is just absurd and dumb, these characters still look like they come out of a water damaged comic strip.
These are pretty close to what I saw in my head in 5th grade. It's like the artist is living inside my mind o.o
You could poke someone’s eye out with most of the chins in these drawings. Why does almost everyone have the same jawline?
Fleur, Cho, and Luna were the only ones who looked like their real characters. The others, not so much. Sorry.
Some of these were so bad they were ridiculous. She wasted her time. I read the books too and when I saw the first movie I was blown away by how closely all the actors fit their parts.
like on Halloween or the Wizard of OZ they r all the same thing thin faced
I wish they did a side by side of the character rendering and the casted actor.
None of these look like what my mind pictured when I read the books. And yes I read them long before I ever saw the movies. These are completely unrealistic and what's with the weird eyes and malnourished look? Just weird
A bit weird this....but the movies largely nailed it? Also did I miss a book that has detailed character descriptions?
The reason mad eye moody isn't on here is because it's embarrassing how bad a job they did
She should have add all of the other characters. Hagrid, Dumbledore, Trelawny, etc.
According to the book descriptions? No, according to this artist's interpretations. Some of them are pretty good. Some, not so much
This wasn’t done by an artist—this was done by artificial intelligence.
Most of these were just like the movies .. the rest weren't too disappointing ... if I was disappointed, it would have been with the change in storylines, but not with descriptions of characters ...
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.
Despite everyone's criticism I'd say the producers did a fairly good job of finding people to look like the books. AND this is just ONE person's idea of how they should look according to descriptions in the book.
This was done by artificial intelligence as mentioned at the start of the thread-so, AI is the one to be “congratulated”
I liked almost all of them (Gilderoy is too handsome, and he should have a weak chin). I don't understand why everyone is critical.
All y'all are rude, for every complement there 25 people complaining about something rather than enjoying the art this person created for us to enjoy and discuss. Yeah everyone expects a few naysayers and hecklers but most of you people are just down right aweful. 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.

This is age shaming, the older characters are too young in this...... It's like Sirius should be older.... Harry's parents were at least middle 20 when he was born and after that 11 years so it's fine to Severus, Sirius, Remus, Petigeew the Weasley family be almost in their 40's
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
Load More Replies...I definitely think having a wide variety of ppl included is good but I dont like the trend to just add a person from a different race or from LGBT+ just for the sake of adding them because then it seems forced. for sure you saw films when they added asian/black/LGBT/(insert minorities) characters just for meeting some quotas and the character never did anything meaningful and behaved in a way that the audience criticized it for spreading stereotypes and claiming that they dont feel represented by this character. AS for HP: the races are alegorically represented by purebloods, muggleborns, halfbloods and different beings such as centaurs or house elves. these races are more important to the story than our traditional races
