The Harry Potter movie series needs no introduction. It is approved by parents and loved by kids (and adults) worldwide. CinemaScore rated all of the movie series between A-, A to A+. Out of 8 films, 6 of them were nominated for the Academy Awards. The whole franchise made a total box office gross of 7,776,602,036 dollars. Phew, that’s a lot of numbers!
Recently, a rather quirky yet stunning Twitter thread of the series surfaced on the Twitter-sphere. The thread features photos of the original casts in the style of Wes Anderson. The post took the world by storm when it racked up 3.4 million views within less than 24 hours of its release.
If you aren’t familiar with Wes Anderson, let me help you to jog your memory. Have you seen The Grand Budapest? Yes. It’s one of his famous works and yes it’s a box office (173 million dollars).
Hermoine Granger
Hermoine’s signature messy hair is nowhere to be seen here. She is reimagined as being in the candy store. I can’t help but wonder if those colourful round candies are the famous Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans.
Ron Weasley
I just love how dandy Ron looks here. The colour really compliments his red hair. I wonder why he is placed in a room full of cats.
Rubeus Hagrid
Is that silk shirt Hagrid? Wow, you sure clean up really well.
Draco Malfoy
He looks like a good kid here. Too good almost as if he is the teacher’s pet.
Professor Snape
Flower’s background softens up his original grungy punk persona and he looks a lot younger too. I wonder if he makes his own anti-ageing potion. If yes how many Sickles does it cost?
Bellatrix Lestrange
This recreation of Lestrange kind of give me Cindy Lauper’s Girls Just Wanna Have Fun vibe. The hair is on-point!
Gilderoy Lockhart
In the original movie, Lockhart is already a happy good looking man but here, despite the happy colours, he looks rather solemn. Forgot your spell again, Professor?
Professor Dumbledore
This photo of Dumbledore has the highest number of likes among other cast. Two thousand likes, to be exact. I just love how this recreation made him makes he looks like a hippie. I wonder what he smokes in his pipe if that’s the case. Well, I’m pretty sure that his favourite dessert is a slice of good space cake.
Lord Voldemort
Pink snakes are sure to tame his evil looks. His signature nose looks rather normal here. Yes? No? I’m not sure.
Apart from the cast photos, the Twitter thread also includes how to create your own AI arts Wes Anderson style using Midjourney. Well, thank you, sir!
Good news for Harry Potter fans, on 20th April 2023, FilmUpdates via Twitter announced that the TV series reboot of the franchise is currently in the works.
Hooray!
