Woman Uses AI To Show How The Characters Of "Harry Potter" Were Supposed To Look Based On Book Descriptions (25 Pics)

There are numerous reasons why people prefer books over movie adaptations. Reading leaves room for imagination. We can visualize the setting and how the characters look from the details given by the author. There are usually no length constraints to a book, while the films are very time-limited. Therefore, the reader gets more essential details in the book than the scriptwriters include in the movie.

The Harry Potter film series is perhaps one of the most successful book adaptations ever made. Some even claim that Harry Potter tops the poll of best book-to-film adaptations. Yet, one of the issues in adapting a book to a film is casting. Although some novels use characters based on real people, it’s not an easy job to find an actor who can convey the book character’s both personal qualities and physical traits. Yet, it seems that Harry Potter’s casting directors did a pretty good job.

One Vietnamese woman, known to her followers as MsBananaAnna, wanted to see what Harry Potter characters would look like based solely on their book descriptions. To fulfill that, she used artificial intelligence. Scroll below to see how AI technologies helped MsBananaAnna recreate Harry Potter characters.

Well, if we hadn’t told you the context, you would think they’re Halloween costume parties! Scroll down below to see the most extravagant costumes these students students wore to their graduation!
