OK, so it’s not a original—it was written by artificial intelligence. As explains, the computer-science whizzes at created this three-page work of fan fiction after training an algorithm on the text of all seven Harry Potter books. The short chapter was made with the help of a predictive text algorithm designed to churn out phrases similar in style and content to what you’d find in one of the Harry Potter novels it 'read.'

The story isn’t totally nonsensical, though. Twenty human editors chose which to put into the chapter, wrangling the predictive text into a linear(ish) tale. We used predictive keyboards trained on all seven books to ghostwrite this spellbinding new Harry Potter chapter — Botnik Studios (@botnikstudios) While magnified wind doesn’t seem so crazy for the Harry Potter universe, the text immediately takes a turn for the absurd after that first sentence. Ron starts doing a “frenzied tap dance,” and then he eats Hermione’s family. And that’s just on the first page.

Harry and his friends spy on Death Eaters and tussle with Voldemort—all very spot-on Rowling plot points—but then Harry dips Hermione in hot sauce, and “several long pumpkins” fall out of Professor McGonagall. Some parts are far more simplistic than Rowling would write them, but aren’t exactly wrong with regards to the Harry Potter universe.

It ends with another bit of prose that’s not exactly Rowling’s style, but it’s certainly an accurate analysis of the main current that runs throughout all the Harry Potter books. It reads: “‘I’m Harry Potter,’ Harry began yelling.

‘The dark arts better be worried, oh boy!’” Harry Potter isn’t the only work of fiction that Jamie Brew—a former head writer for ClickHole and the creator of Botnik’s predictive keyboard—and other Botnik writers have turned their attention to. Botnik has previously created AI-generated scripts for TV shows like and, among other ridiculous machine-written parodies.
