Woman Uses The Character Descriptions In The Harry Potter Books, Feeds Them To An AI Art Generator, And Produces Mind-Blowing Results
Some of them look exactly like their movie counterparts.
Books can be surprisingly powerful when they give readers enough detail to picture a character long before a movie ever does. That gap between the page and the screen is exactly what makes this Harry Potter project so fun to look at.
A Vietnamese woman who goes by MsBananaAnna online fed character descriptions from the Harry Potter books into an AI art generator and shared the results. Some of the characters look strikingly close to their film versions, while others take a very different turn.
The comparisons are hard to ignore, and a few of them are especially memorable. Read on.

By this point, the comparisons are doing most of the talking.
It also echoes the “influencer” energy behind old master portraits that look like they were made for 2026.

While the casting team typically chooses actors based on the books, they're not always accurate.
This is what compelled a Vietnamese woman, who uses the online handle MsBananaAnna, to use AI to see the authentic looks of the characters. As you can see from some of the results, the casting did a wonderful job with some actors.
They closely resemble the looks that the AI produced.
The fan debate practically writes itself.
After seeing AI “twins” pop up without DNA, you’ll never look at resemblance the same again, in this story of real people who found their “twins”.
