What If “Harry Potter” Characters Were Supposed To Look According To Book Descriptions

When comparing books and their film adaptations, everyone finds that the book is almost always better. One of the reasons is that a movie doesn't always convey images the same way a book does, in which emotion accompanies the image. When reading, we can get a completely different picture of a place or a character, as well as a completely different overall impression of the novel.
That's why when creating a movie adaptation, the filmmakers try to bring the characters to life by choosing the right actors to play them. While these actors are made up and put their effort into expressing the same emotions as the characters depicted in the books, their physical appearance in movies is not always so precise. For example, in "Harry Potter", Matthew Lewis’s character, Neville Longbottom, was described to be blonde by J. K. Rowling. However, in the movies, the actor left his brown hair in the original tone. The question is: Is the "Harry Potter" cast really look like their book counterparts?
Therefore, with the help of AI, we decided to create images based on characters’ book descriptions to see what the cast would’ve looked like. Scroll down to see. Which version of the characters did you like more? Let us know in the comment below!
