Seriously though, is that an old snapshot of Daniel Radcliffe on set??
More than 10,000 cosplayers from around Japan attended the 12th annual Nippombashi Street Festa, held this year on Sunday, March 20. While there was no end of impressive getups during the event’s massive cosplay parade, one tiny Harry Potter doppelganger has since been positively charming (magical pun unintended) the Japanese Twitterverse.
Introducing avid cosplayer from Kyoto @snoel72, otherwise known as “Sai.” For all we know, she could’ve downed some Polyjuice Potion to turn herself into a child-size version of Daniel Radcliffe:
▼ She’s even got his smile down pat!
