So, everyone who knows me even a little bit knows that I’m a Harry Potter fan. So what better first post to show images than Harry Potter common rooms?! 😋🔥
First of all, I went into the GPT and clicked start. Then I gave my ideas. Let’s start with Gryffindor first, but no worries — I’ll cover the other three too.
This is what I entered. Just generic — what every Harry Potter fan knows how to enter. I didn’t put much thought into it, especially to allow the AI to use its creativity.
Then, based on that, it asked me 2 follow-up questions about camera view and exact kind of style. I answered: wide shot & cinematic realism. Then it gave me 3 prompts with slight variations that you can give AI. Literally. That’s all I did. Then I entered that prompt into ChatGPT, and got this result:
And basically… that is what I did for each room. All I did was vary it slightly for each different house: (Click open to see full screenshot)
Again, got asked 2–3 follow-up questions, and these were the results: (Click open to see full Images)

IMAGE PROMPT OF GRIFFINDOR COMMON ROOM:
Description: Wide establishing shot of the Gryffindor common room, cozy yet spacious, anchored by a roaring stone fireplace with a carved mantle and subtle gold filigree details on ironwork and lamp fixtures. Deep crimson and antique-gold textiles, plush armchairs and a sofa arranged in welcoming conversational clusters, stacked books and wooden side tables, layered ornate carpets covering the floor with rich patterns and warm texture. Tall gothic Hogwarts windows reveal a snowy storm at late evening; wind-driven snow swirls outside while the moon is visible through fast-moving clouds, casting cool blue highlights on the window mullions. Interior lit by firelight and candles: golden glow, gentle bloom, soft shadows, lived-in magical warmth. Cinematic realism, highly detailed materials (stone, wood, wool), 24mm wide lens, eye-level, film still.

A grand green-veined marble fireplace glows with amber firelight, softly balancing the emerald-green underwater light streaming through tall Hogwarts-style windows. Outside the glass: only lake water and swaying aquatic plants, glowing gently; no creatures. Subtle silver/aged-pewter filigree with serpent motifs in railings, trim, and fireplace detailing—elegant, not spiky.
