Woman Shows How “Harry Potter” Characters Were Supposed To Look According To Book Descriptions (35 Pics)
Interview With Artist
When comparing books and their movie adaptations, books almost always prove to be better.
One reason is that a film does not always convey the same imagery as a book, where emotions blend with visuals.
When reading, one can form a completely different image of a place or a character and have a very different overall feeling toward a story.
When adapting a book, the cast is usually chosen based on the characters' descriptions.
However, the looks are not always so precise. With that in mind, one Vietnamese woman (known to her followers 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
"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
While some characters look similar to those 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
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.

Not too bad, I don’t think she was casted well in the movies anyways.
When fictional characters come to life, it's hard not to wonder which other iconic groups would look just as striking.

Her name though. 🤦♀️ When every other girl has a nice / interesting / exotic name the only Asian girl has the worst most stereotypical name going.

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))

Longer hair. Earring with a fang. More cool, less dorky. Probably got confused with Percy.

No, sorry, but even before seeing Maggie Smith in that role she was the spitting image for my personal McGonagall.
