Woman Shows How “Harry Potter” Characters Were Supposed To Look According To Book Descriptions (35 Pics) Interview With Artist
4.3Mviews
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
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.

They should've titled it "The various stages of malnourished"
Read my mind! I was thinking that the Hogwarts cafeteria must be short staffed.
No one wants to risk eating food spiked with love potion lol
Dobby must have convinced the elves then quit
The house elves don't do enough already?
Hermione, again with the SPEW stu... (Hermione glares)
Maybe they all have tapeworms?

But... All the house elves work there... are they on strike like Hermione wants them to go on?
SLave labor has caught up.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Somebody needs to conjure up a vitamin potion.
No!!! Harry Potter and The various stages of malnourished
god that made me laugh way too hard
Lol, they're probably the perfect weight...people think overweight is supposed to be healthy.
Eeeeexactly.
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.
Yup🤣
SPEW got to powerful 😅
That’s not what underweight looks like.
Malnourished and underweight aren't really the same thing.
Or “ Young Wizards and Trigonalcephaly”
Why? I still have sunken cheek while having bmi around 30...
So no Dumbledore, Molly, Arthur, or Percy, but we get Voldemort’s mom??
No Hagrid either.
And no Dobby!
I also wanted to see what dobby would look like
The Hagrid actor was pretty spot-on, tough (just my opinion)
The only image of hagrid I need in life is ps1 hagrid. Ima make him my pfp, splitting image of gorgeous
What about the herbology teacher, I wanted to see her
They probably thought the other characters looked close enough to the books.
And no Kingsley! Tho he's kind of a background characetr
Ikr! I was kinda sad.☹
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.
I know right!!
It's her time now! (She gets mentioned so very less guys)
Maybe the characters already matched the descriptions.
