The neural network showed the book characters of "Harry Potter"

Reddit user lettuceown fed the Artbreeder neural networks descriptions of the appearance of the characters in the Harry Potter saga from the book to create realistic portraits of them.

For example, for Bellatrix Lestrange, the parameters were set to "40-50 years old, long shiny thick black hair, powerful jaw, dark eyes with an impending eyelid, thin lips, look haggard after a long imprisonment, retained the remnants of the former beauty."

It is worth noting that the descriptions of the appearance of most of the characters were taken from their descriptions when they first appeared. That is why many of the characters look much younger than they were at the time of the events of the final book - and Hermione has not yet corrected her teeth.

You can view the input data for all characters here. Harry Potter is not in this album: the author considered his portrait unsuccessful, but she could not achieve a better result. His portrait is only in first selection illustrations where Hermione and Ron also do not look the best (but they, unlike the main character, were later improved).

Some portraits are very different from how the same characters looked in the film adaptations. Are there any characters you think Artbreed portrayed better than the casting experts?
