Harry Potter Animation With CSS

Hey everyone. Welcome to today’s tutorial. In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a cute harry potter animation. To create this animation we use HTML and CSS. We do not use any images or libraries to create this animation.

This is a fun tutorial. This kind of CSS art and animation tutorials help you to explore and experiment with different CSS properties. Hence if you are a CSS beginner I would suggest you go ahead and give this tutorial a try.

For more such tutorials, you can check out this playlist here. This playlist consists of a bunch of CSS animation tutorials.

If you are interested to learn by watching a video tutorial rather than reading this blog post, you can check out the video below. Also subscribe to my youtube channel where I post tips, tricks and tutorials related to web development every alternate day.

Project Folder Structure:

Before we start coding let us take a look at the project folder structure. We create a project folder called – ‘Harry Potter Animation’. Inside this folder, we have two files. These files are index.html and style.css. The first file is the HTML document and the second file is the stylesheet.

HTML:

We start with the HTML code. We use HTML to create elements necessary for creating the structure of our illustration. First copy the code provided to you below and paste it into your stylesheet.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Harry Potter Animation</title>
    <!-- Stylesheet -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="wrapper">
      <div class="cloud cloud-1"></div>
      <div class="cloud cloud-2"></div>
      <div class="cloud cloud-3"></div>
      <div class="cloud cloud-4"></div>
      <div class="container">
        <div class="broom"></div>
        <div class="harry">
          <div class="cloak"></div>
          <div class="leg"></div>
          <div class="face">
            <div class="hair-1"></div>
            <div class="hair-2"></div>
            <div class="hair-3"></div>
            <div class="glasses"></div>
            <div class="eye"></div>
            <div class="scar"></div>
            <div class="mouth"></div>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

CSS:

Next, we shape the elements created with HTML and animate them with CSS. For this copy the code below and paste it into your stylesheet.

We use pseudo-elements ‘before’ and ‘after’ to create many of these shapes. This avoids creating excessive divs. For example, we use ‘cloak: before’ to create the sleeve of the cloak. Also, we use ‘cloak: after’ to create the hand. We follow this by adding keyframes that animate the container and the clouds.
