The mix of Harry Potter and Tim Burton's unique style would be absolutely epic.

Harry Potter is getting a new adaptation soon — this time as a TV show on Max. But that doesn't stop fans from fantasizing about all the other possibilities for this magical universe.

A YouTuber named Una Filmmaker Qualunque took the characters from Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling and put them into the dark and whimsical stop-motion animation world of Tim Burton (The Nightmare Before Christmas, Frankenweenie, Corpse Bride).

The TV show Wednesday, which Burton worked on, became a huge hit last year and made gothic style super popular. It's no wonder why people want to see their favorite characters teleport into Burton's world.

Thanks to the AI called MidJourney, we can actually see what J.K. Rowling's characters would've looked like if Burton had made an animated movie adaptation.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione ended up looking somewhat… exhausted. Draco suited the style perfectly. Professor Snape always had that Tim Burton hero vibe going on. And The Dark Lord turned out not as super creepy as he could be.

Some people actually pointed out in the comment section that "Voldemort is the least scary person in this video."

But overall, the video gets the job done: we can now see what an amazing version of Harry Potter it would be, if Burton made this movie.

Tim Burton has a penchant for all things macabre, and his animated Harry Potter would be no exception.

Just picture the iconic Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but with Burton's signature style splashed all over it. Dark, mysterious, and oh-so-gothic.

The Dark Arts would take on a whole new level of visual enchantment. Expect spells and curses to manifest in mesmerizingly twisted forms, with swirling dark energies and terrifying creatures lurking in the shadows.

Dementors might transform into elongated, skeletal figures with tattered robes, and Death Eaters could become grotesque beings, clad in ornate masks that conceal their identities.

The Forbidden Forest? It'd turn into a surreal woodland wonderland, with glowing mushrooms and strange creatures lurking around every corner.

Diagon Alley? It'd become this twisted maze of wonky buildings and leaning lampposts that give off a playful yet slightly creepy vibe.
