For those who've been wondering, huh, I wonder what Harry Potter and his Hogwarts friends might have looked like if they grew up during the 1970s British punk era — your prayers have been answered.
An artificial intelligence photo group on Instagram, @The_AI_DREAMS is taking away the guesswork by posting a series of AI-generated images of everyone's favorite teen wizards and friends to its profile, and the pics are quickly going viral.
Harry Potter's scar has morphed into a scary forehead tattoo, while his signature Hogwarts robe is now a black leather jacket with spikes.
Hermione's hair is a maze of purple, pink and yellow spikes to pair with her gothic choker necklace.
Ron Weasley has a very punk mohawk, mutton chops and nose ring — all of which his mother would likely disapprove of.
Ginny Weasley gives her best “I don't give a f—” glare to camera while sticking up her middle finger.
