Botnik Robot Writes a Harry Potter Fan Fiction Chapter

Here's What Happens If You Let a Whimsical Robot Write the Next Harry Potter Chapter
[QUOTE]“Harry Potter and the Portrait of What Looked Like a Large Pile of Ash” is a three-page chapter of literature produced by an algorithm. Trained by Botnik Studios on the meat of Rowling’s expansive magical universe, it’s an author-assisted predictive text document; creator Jamie Brew and other writers helped nudge the algorithm in the right direction. The result is just as weird — and, uncomfortably for some of us, readable — as you might expect, filled with the characters and whimsical vocabulary notable to Rowling. (Logical plot, however, is not its greatest strength.)[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]"Ron was standing there and doing a kind of frenzied tap dance. He saw Harry and immediately began to eat Hermione's family."[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]"Ron was going to be spiders. He just was."[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]"The pig of Hufflepuff pulsed like a large bullfrog. Dumbledore smiled at it, and placed his hand on its head: 'You are Hagrid now."[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]"Harry tore his eyes from his head and threw them into the forest. Voldemort raised his eyebrows at Harry, who could not see anything at the moment."[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]"The tall Death Eater was wearing a shirt that said 'Hermione Has Forgotten How To Dance,' so Hermione dipped his face in mud."[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]"Ron's shirt was just as bad as Ron himself."[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]"Harry looked around and then fell down the spiral staircase for the rest of the summer."[/QUOTE]

thank you botnik! you gave me the best laugh in years.
The animation that will inevitably be made of this will be fuckin ace.

and immediately began to eat Hermione's family.[/QUOTE]
I'm tearing up laughing.
I can't believe I never heard of Botnik before now, and yes, someone should animate this.
I never read Harry Potter.
BUT MAN IF I LAUGHED LIKE AN IDIOT!

What is with Harry and eating people.
[quote]"Harry tore his eyes from his head and threw them into the forest. Voldemort raised his eyebrows at Harry, who could not see anything at the moment."[/quote]
Jesus fuck, this story is hardcore.
"The pig of Hufflepuff pulsed like a large bullfrog. Dumbledore smiled at it, and placed his hand on its head: 'You are Hagrid now."
This is A++material right here.
[quote]"Ron's shirt was just as bad as Ron himself."[/quote]
Lmao I'm saving this one.
Mashable got the quote wrong, the correct one is even better:
[quote]"Ron's [i]Ron[/i] shirt was just as bad as Ron himself."[/quote]
He's just wearing a shirt with his own name on it lol
[quote]To Harry, Ron was a loud, slow, and soft bird. Harry did not like to think about birds.[/quote]

Ron likes to point himself out, and Harry is something of a dick. Although that is canon anyway.

Someone get Stephen Fry to narrate this
I need more, will they publish more of this?
The actual Ron shirt quote is even better:
[quote][B]Ron's Ron[/B] shirt was just as bad as Ron himself.[/quote]
I just imagine Ron blathering about with his face on his shirt
[sp]Although I'm pretty sure this is in reference to the shirt his mom makes for him that says Ron, which I realized later and was sad[/sp]

You can make your own if you have the text to feed it. These are the same guys that made the [url=http://botnik.org/content/xfiles-3.jpg]X-Files[/url] and [url=http://botnik.org/content/seinfeld-2-1.jpg]Seinfeld[/url] scripts. You can do anything you want [url=http://botnik.org/apps/]here[/url].
I'm in fucking tears
I've tried to read it three times but I just can't do it
I wonder if since all the text in this is from the original Harry Potter books, it would be possible for someone to take the audiobook recordings Jim Dale did and splice up an audiobook version of this.
I trained it with the text from the last 1000 tweets by Garry:

[QUOTE]"Not so handsome now," thought Harry as he dipped Hermione in hot sauce. The Death Eaters were dead now and Harry was hungrier than he had ever been.[/QUOTE]
jfc even the bots are coming up with fetishistic content
