If you need a round of cuteness to start off your week, then I have the perfect images for you. Recently, Hungarian artist and graphic designer Ben Mornin sent the internet into a tailspin when he used AI to reimagine Harry Potter characters as toddlers, and LOOK:
"I'm always looking for fun ideas and experimenting with AI almost every day," Mornin told BuzzFeed when discussing the inspiration behind the series of photos. "Then [I create] a collection of them when I find something that works well or looks really nice."
Collections similar to this batch of Harry Potter images include those featuring the cast of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and the band Misfits as toddlers.
Mornin's work has amassed him a following of over 116,000 on Instagram — with his Harry Potter collection among the most popular. And it's not hard to see why! Take a look yourself.
