Students playing sports isn’t a rare sight to see everywhere, even in a world filled with magic and mystical creatures like Harry Potter’s. In J.K. Rowling's wizarding universe, Quidditch still reigns supreme as the sport of choice, played on flying broomsticks with seekers, chasers, and elusive golden snitches.

However, imagine for a moment when the iconic characters from the Wizarding Saga swap their brooms for basketballs, dribbling down the court with spells and miraculous slam dunks. Using the magic of AI, Instagram user Man Meets Machine successfully imagines these 10 iconic Harry Potter characters putting on the famous Chicago Bulls jerseys, and competing on the biggest basketball stage in the whole world. Let’s check them out.
