Meet These 10 Cute Dogs Who Deserve A Spot In Hogwarts
The wizarding world still has a way of pulling people back in, even years after the first Harry Potter book hit shelves in 1997.
That lasting appeal is part of why these Harry Potter-inspired dog portraits stand out so much, they blend familiar Hogwarts magic with a fresh, playful twist. Dutch photographer Omica Meinen brought the concept to life with dogs posed in atmospheric urban settings that feel straight out of a fantasy scene.
From the fur to the lighting to the old-world backdrops, each image leans into the charm of the franchise in a new way. Here are 10 cute dogs that look more than ready for a spot at Hogwarts.
