Magic enthusiasts and anime lovers would absolutely love this collaboration.

Harry Potter 's universe is as captivating as it gets, no doubt about it. The eighth and last movie about Potter was released 12 years ago, in 2011.

Maybe the upcoming Max's Harry Potter TV series will be as great as the original movies, but are there any other suggestions for a remake?

You know what is as magical as Harry Potter's universe? — Hayao Miyazaki 's animated movies.

What if the world created by J.K. Rowling's found its way into the whimsical and enchanting animation of Hayao Miyazaki's anime films? Well, no need to imagine. AI saves the day once again.

Miyazaki has crafted a cinematic legacy that transcends cultural boundaries.

His films, such as Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and Castle in the Sky, are celebrated for their imaginative worlds, rich characters, and profound themes that resonate with viewers of all ages.

A YouTube user shared a video compilation of AI generated arts imagining Harry Potter as an adaptation in Miyazaki's unique style.

In this version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the story follows Harry as he embarks on a quest to find his missing parents and uncover the truth about their disappearance.

The main antagonist, Voldemort, seeks a powerful artifact called the Sorcerer's Stone to gain immortality and reshape the Wizarding World. However, Voldemort's connection to dark magic is portrayed as destructive to the environment.

The author of the video with the help of MidJourney AI absolutely nailed the style of Miyazaki's movies. The characters of Harry Potter gained a touch of unique charm.

Harry now has those recognizable expressive eyes and untamed hair, making him instantly endearing.

Harry's friend he meets on his quest, Ron and Hermione, look awesome and appealing as well. We also see Dobby, Hagrid, Professor McGonagall, and some others.

But one character that was imagined by the AI in a particularly surprising way, is Voldemort. He looks horrifying and menacing, even though AI decided to keep his nose intact in some of the artworks.

The fusion of Rowling's enchanting narrative and Miyazaki's breathtaking visuals would create an experience that would captivate both the young and the young at heart.

Sadly, such a collaboration will likely remain a dream that will never come true.
