New Harry Potter art positions characters from the Wizarding World as if they were in The Office. Since Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was released in 2001, Harry Potter has been one of the biggest film franchises of all time. Over the years, there have been countless artistic tributes, fan writing, and more dedicated to the world of Hogwarts, as well as Halloween costumes that still populate the autumn to this day.

An unusual new interpretation of Harry Potter is afoot as the_ai_dreams imagines key Harry Potter characters in scenes from The Office.

The AI art takes the form of individual portrait-style looks at each of the characters. The Harry Potter characters sampled include Ron, Hermoine, Harry, Hagrid, Draco Malfoy, Molly Weasley, Severus Snape, Dolores Umbridge, Neville, and even a Dementor. Placed in a mundane muggle cubicle-scape, the Harry Potter crew looks far more serious than they do on the grounds of Hogwarts. Rather than their wizarding ropes, the Harry Potter cast is clad in suits and other office-appropriate attire.

What Is Next for The Harry Potter Universe?

Even with a The Office reboot announced, a Harry Potter and The Office crossover would never happen in actuality, but the AI art is nonetheless an amusing merge. It is especially hilarious to see more malevolent characters like Snape crunched into an office chair. Even the towering giant Hagrid is forced into a muggle-sized seat in this alternate The Office universe.

Aside from crossover art, the Harry Potter universe is set to continue beyond the already-released eight films and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them companion series. Max is currently developing a Harry Potter TV series, which will likely be more faithful to the plot of the Harry Potter movies. There has been no official release date or casting announcement for the Harry Potter TV show.

Harry Potter also has the potential to expand its universe through more Fantastic Beasts movies. Fantastic Beasts was at one point thought to garner five films total, with two additional films after Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. With the Fantastic Beasts series declining in critical reception and financial performance, however, the future of those last two sequels remains uncertain. Either way, Harry Potter viewers will get their fix of the cinematic Wizarding World through the Harry Potter Max show, which will hopefully be produced sooner rather than later.
