With the Help of A.I., Here’s How the Characters From the Harry Potter Book Look Like Following the Book’s Descriptions
Harry Potter
Harry is the main character of the book series, and we’re sure one of the favorites. In her books, J.K. Rowling describes him as having untidy black hair that’s always sticking up and partially covering a lighting-scribed scar on his forehead. And he’s always wearing his trademark round glasses, which are forever breaking.
The Boy Who Lived was portrayed by Daniel Radcliffe, who perfectly captured Harry’s character. The only thing that they didn’t share was green eyes. Daniel did, however, wear a wig for some of the movies, as the character was said to have longer hair, and it was easier to don a wig than grow out his hair. Other than that, we’d say Hollywood got this one right.
Draco Malfoy
Other than He Who Shall Not Be Named, Draco is Harry’s main rival. He’s described as a platinum blonde-haired boy with aristocratic features. Draco represents the dark side of Slytherin House and has an air of superiority about him. This is emphasized by the sneering expression that never leaves his face.
Although Tom Felton’s performance perfectly captured Draco’s personality, he had to wear a blonde wig throughout the entire series, as his hair is brown. But if you’re looking at the features of the character, Tom looks quite similar.
Fleur Delacour
When we think about Fleur, we think stunningly beautiful. This part-Veela witch is said to have long, silvery-blond hair that cascades down her back. She also has very delicate features and an allure that captivates those around her.
Clémence Poésy has an ethereal charm about her that brings this character to life like no other actress would’ve done. And despite her natural hair color being darker than Fleur’s, she was the perfect choice, as you can clearly see from the AI image.
Dudley Dursley
Dudley, Harry’s spoiled and over-indulgent cousin, looks very much like a piglet, from his overweight body to his tiny piggy eyes and pig-like features. This character is meant to come across as very privileged and self-absorbed.
The movie and AI versions of him are slightly different, though, and Harry Melling underwent considerable weight loss during filming. This resulted in a much slimmer version of the character.
Have you wondered if the Harry Potter movie characters would look the same as you imagined? Did the silver screen adaptations capture the essence of each character? With A.I.’s help, we look at 35 of the most popular characters to see if Hollywood nailed it, or if they simply cast a Confundus Charm.
