Keep the source composition and subject identity exactly recognizable; change only the visual medium and material treatment.

Preserve the source image’s main subject(s), recognizable identity where applicable, pose, key objects, spatial relationships, emotional intent, and overall compositional hierarchy. Do not replace the scene with new characters or an unrelated setting. Reinterpret every visible element from the source image in the following visual language:

Cold paper stage-box theatre, layered cut-paper realism, theatrical depth without cartooning. Build the scene as a deep handcrafted paper diorama with multiple flat-but-realistic planes: foreground, middle ground, background, and subtle architectural or environmental layers. Recreate the original location, objects, clothing, and atmosphere as precisely cut, tactile paper forms with believable depth, delicate paper edges, soft cast shadows, restrained dimensionality, and carefully constructed perspective.

Lighting should feel literary and controlled: cool ambient light with selective warm highlights on the main subject, gentle shadow between layers, soft atmospheric depth.

If people appear in the source image, keep their face, age impression, body proportions, expression, hairstyle, clothing cues, pose, and relationship to one another recognizable. Render them with natural, realistic proportions and subtle, emotionally nuanced expressions; they should look like realistic figures translated into layered paper, never cartoon characters or dolls.

Turn important symbolic details already present in the image into small fragile paper motifs integrated naturally into the composition—such as folded flowers, stars, pages, ribbons, leaves, or geometric shapes—only when appropriate to the source image. Keep symbolism quiet, intelligent, and emotionally restrained.

Overall mood: intelligent, contemplative, restrained, lonely or tender when appropriate, literary, tactile, and quietly cinematic. The image should feel like entering a carefully constructed world made of paper, with emotional distance created through physical layers and negative space.

No readable text, no title, no watermark, no logo, no border. No anime, manga, webtoon, chibi, exaggerated caricature, plastic 3D render, glossy CGI, oversaturated colors, flat generic collage, horror imagery, gore, corpse, coffin, funeral symbolism, or distorted anatomy.

Vertical 4:5 cover artwork. Style: cold paper stage-box theatre, layered cut-paper realism, theatrical depth without cartooning, muted graphite, parchment, slate blue, dark wood. The Hogwarts library is built as a deep paper theatre with several flat-but-realistic layers: tall shelves, arched windows, long tables, floating page fragments, and narrow aisles. Hermione Granger stands in the front layer, realistic and emotionally nuanced, late teens or early twenties, warm light skin, thick chestnut-brown curls, intelligent brown eyes, dark academic clothes. She carries books and papers close to her body, and among them is a delicate pale paper shape like a folded flower or small star, representing old hope made fragile and flat. Draco Malfoy stands several layers behind her, tall, lean, pale, platinum blond, sharp features, grey eyes, separated by shelves and architectural distance. The mood is intelligent, restrained, lonely, and literary: growth as moving through a constructed world while carrying a fragile old belief. No death imagery, no corpse, no coffin, no funeral symbols, no horror. No readable text, no title, no watermark, no anime, no manga, no webtoon, natural proportions, subtle emotion.
