“The sky outside was a great black ceiling, which was full of blood.” “The castle grounds snarled with a wave of magically magnified wind,” it begins. As a result, the chapter reads not like the usual word salad of text prediction, but like unusually inventive fanfiction. The aforementioned Harry Potter excerpt was constructed with the help of multiple writers, who helped construct the sentence through a combination of algorithmic suggestion and authorial discretion. Time travel, genderbending - fem Harry, slash and fem slash, same-sex pregnancies. Lyra was a Black, and Blacks protect their own. His predictively generated work previously appeared on objectdreams Tumblr and includes predictive text X-Files scripts, Craigslist ads, and Elements of Style-esque grammar rules. Despite a name and gender change, Harry Potter wasn't someone who would let their family suffer for no reason. The end result is a tale with a plot that feels soulless and meandering but like any good fanfiction, still holds a faint imprint of Rowling’s usual lilting whimsical charm.īoth the chapter and the predictive text program-available on GitHub-is the work of Jamie Brew, a former writer for Clickhole and The Onion.
Botnik Studios created the three-page chapter, titled “ Harry Potter and the Portrait of What Looked Like a Large Pile of Ash,” after training an algorithmic tool on all seven of the children’s fantasy novels.
Rowling, but by AI-generated text prediction. The books spent far too little time on the Maurauders, and the movies bafflingly cast parent-aged actors - which defeats the entire purpose of the tragedy that Lily and James are nearly the same age as Harry when he sees their ghosts in “The Forest Again.” The previous generation is a far more compelling focus than the next generation.Harry Potter fans who have already finished reading The Cursed Child and A Journey Through the History of Magic from the past two years have a new chapter in the story of the wizarding boy to tide them over-one brought to us not by J.K. The Maurauders’s story has literally all the components of a good story: A love-hate dramatic relationship that puts any rom-com to shame (Ron and Hermione’s bickering has nothing on Lily outright hating James for years, and Rose and Scorpius having parents who dislike each other is also a big yawn compared to that) deep friendship (sure, Harry stays with the Weaslys a lot but Sirius actually lives with James when he runs away from home) betrayal, mischief, a war brewing, and tragic death.

And sure, defenders say it looks better onstage, but for many fans, the paper version is all they’ll ever get. There are Time-Turners involved - of all the awesome things Rowling created, they picked the one with the most potential for plot holes - mistaken identities, and long-lost secret children.
