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 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
"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."
#4
Severus Snape
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."
#6
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.

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.

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 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.

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

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
