After watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Goblet of Fire re-cast via AI with the late Richard Harris instead of Michael Gambon, a Reddit user argued that the film industry will have no choice but to change. The poster predicts dedicated contracts for AI use of actors' likenesses, "AI-version premieres" distinct from originals, and even entire books turned into full AI films—calling the trend nearly inevitable and suggesting fan fiction could eventually gain official canon status.
