AI art imagines the cast of Harry Potter as adorable toddlers, and the accuracy is mind-blowing. The film franchise, based on J.K. Rowling’s novels, began back in 2001 and explored the growth of Harry and other students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Many characters were introduced at a young age, though their lives prior to Hogwarts were not as much of a focus. Throughout the series, the cast of Harry Potter included Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Tom Felton, Matthew Lewis, Robbie Coltrane and more.
One Instagram account, with the username benmornin, is depicting some of Harry Potter‘s characters as toddlers through AI. Check out the photos below:
The cast not only looks adorable at this age, but the images are surprisingly accurate, portraying Harry, Hermione, Ron, Draco, Neville, Luna, Hagrid, and others in a way that is believable.
Will Harry Potter’s Characters Be Seen Again?
While it is unlikely that Harry Potter‘s characters will be depicted as toddlers in future live-action content, it might be possible for some of the original cast members to come back in another setting. They previously appeared together in Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts, and with a potential film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child frequently being rumored, they could revisit the Wizarding World through a project like that. However, due to the amount of time spent as these characters, and the recent controversy surrounding Rowling, nothing is guaranteed.
The latest news concerning the franchise is that a television reboot is in the works, which has led to speculation from longtime fans, many of whom express disinterest over the idea of change. With a ten-year plan attached to the Harry Potter remake, there may be more room for deeper character development, but the cast will not be the same. It will be interesting to see how audiences respond to the characters and any other differences, considering the film series ended just 12 years ago.
The mind-blowing AI art gives a good idea of what characters like Harry and Hagrid might have looked like as toddlers. While Harry’s early life is touched on in the films, it is worth wondering what they would have been like if the cast was even younger. Fans of Harry Potter will likely enjoy the photos and can be sure to keep an eye out for any other fun content.
