As you may or may not know, making a lenticular image from a stereo pair isn't really a viable approach. While one can fake it via adding black spacer lines, the field of view remains very narrow.

So in an experiment to get a stable view of Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft in full lenticular 3D, it was necessary to generate "inbetween" images.

The first step is a frame capture from a Harry Potter movie © Warner Brothers. Next an adjacent frame was also captured, and distorted/modified in Photoshop to capture parallax and create a stereo pair. With a reasonable stereo pair, the next step was to use Fantamorph 3.0 and identify homologous points in both images-- the more the better. With the homologs mapped, a mini-movie in .tif format was created (8 pictures shown, but actually 10 were used). Following this, the 10 images were reinterlaced using Superflip to create a lenticular.

Something out of nothing? Well, yeah, sort of... ;)

Here's an animated GIF file of the results:
