‘Harry Potter’ written by a bot is gloriously illustrated by a human

TwitterFacebook

To be fair, how could you not illustrate Harry Potter and the Portrait of what looked like a large Pile of Ash?

After a bot wrote an absolutely incredible chapter of Harry Potter, one artist saw the opportunity of a lifetime.

I have to draw some moments from this bot-written Harry Potter chapter#loudslowsoftbird https://t.co/YdKLyJd64o pic.twitter.com/3Xywuaa5uQ
