Is this the greatest magician’s trick of all? Harry Potter’s awkward teen wizard Neville Longbottom – aka actor Matthew Lewis – is all grown up and, umm, very good looking.
And he’s caused something of a stir with a magazine shoot that left not much to the imagination.
JK Rowling is not impressed.
Lewis features on the cover of Attitude Magazine, but that’s not the pic that made people sit up and blink.

It’s this one that caused the stir.
Yeah, I'd take a ride on your Nimbus 2000

Rowling, because she is brilliant, tweeted her shock in a hilarious way.
. Not as bad as watching Dan in Equus, but close. Warn me next time, for God's sake.
— J.K. Rowling ()
Lewis, slightly embarrassed but kind of impressed with himself, replied. And Rowling followed it with the best ‘disappointed mother’ phrase ever.
. I will always support you whatever you want to do, Matthew. Now go put some clothes on.
— J.K. Rowling ()
If you thought this couldn’t get any better, Jason Isaacs, who played Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter franchise, decided to join in with a classic dad joke. J.K. responded to that in an equally brilliant way.
. I wouldn't know. I hastily averted my eyes and read an article on Political Correctness to get over the shock.
