What If Wes Anderson Directed Harry Potter? Umbridge Would Be Cute
Harry Potter has had four directors (and it will have some more with the new reboot announced), but let's imagine that Wes Anderson directed all eight movies. Luckily, you don't have to imagine, Midjourney already did!
The famous director is responsible for some masterpieces like The Grand Budapest Hotel, Isle of Dogs, and Moonrise Kingdom.
Wes Anderson's movies are known for their eccentricity and unique visual styles.
One user asked Midjourney to try its best to give him the perfect Anderson rendition of Harry Potter, and boy did it deliver!
For starters, all the characters look as stylish as ever (like they literally walked off the Gucci runway) – even the Dark Lord! Though, he is not so dark anymore.
Nagini's gotten a makeover too, Pink Panther-style!
The titular character looks drastically different in the two posts. Perhaps, the first is his younger version (the one who hasn't seen all the chaos of the world yet), and the second is post-Deathly Hallows Harry.
Another idea is that the second is Harry with a Horcrux in him, and the first is without. Either way, orange suits him well!
Hermione's second picture gives off more of a book Granger vibe. Look at her hair – at least it's curly like it should be.
Although, we don't really get why she has an owl sitting on her arm. Where is Crookshanks, Hermione?
OK, false alarm, he is with Ron. Apparently, in an Anderson movie, Ron is a cat lover (which is refreshing). Umbridge, look out!
By the way, she is in there too, but a few decades younger and a whole lot cuter. Is this movie her villain origin story? This is the spinoff we'd watch.
Even in this rendition, Malfoy is an aristocrat. He is surrounded by horses (in the second post) and looks very pure-blooded.
Lucius would be proud! Or maybe he would think, "Why is Draco wearing Hufflepuff's colors?" That is a valid question!
Well, in the first pic, Draco is sticking to his Slytherin persona – at ease, Lucius!
Dumbledore is certainly our favorite. He just looks so much like his quirky self that it is really hard not to love him here! In an Anderson movie, the Headmaster has a thing for pools (or so it seems). Hogwarts pool party? Count us in!
Snape (played by Alan Rickman, even in this version) is true to himself. While everyone else is embracing color, he still prefers to rock a funeral-fitting black suit.
In the first picture, he is posing in a field of flowers. The only thing that would make it better is if the flowers were all lilies. Too soon?
We always knew that Harry was just jealous of Hagrid's tie – orange looks good on him! Apparently, in an Anderson movie, the Keeper of Keys and Grounds of Hogwarts has suited up for a date with Madame Maxime.
He has even combed his hair!
Bellatrix has joined Severus for a funeral-inspired vibe, and we are here for it! She surely doesn't look as maniacally crazy as she is supposed to be, but maybe she's just pretending to be normal!
Madeye Moody? More like Madeye Groovy. Alastor is looking fine (and more importantly, not missing any eyes).
We know two things about Cedric in this rendition. First, he is still a Hufflepuff. Second, he is still a Quidditch player. That's more than enough, right?
We need to watch this reboot like yesterday. If there is a God, please hear us and make Wes Anderson the director of the new Harry Potter remake! Pretty please?
