Young Japanese cosplayer whips up some costume magic to transform herself into Harry Potter

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!

Sai’s not just a master of the wizarding world; just for good measure, check out some of her other fantastic cosplay creations:

▼ As Frodo Baggins from The Lord of the Rings

▼ In her own words, some “nostalgic magical girls” (anyone who’s a fan of Cardcaptor Sakura is a winner in our books!)

▼ It looks like we’re not the only ones celebrating Togashi’s return to penning Hunter x Hunter (Sai’s portraying Gon).

富樫もやっと動き出しましたね(`･ω･´) ハンターも好きです！ ゴンの機会もください(^^)/ https://t.co/N7YCYMTlt9

We’ll be keeping an eye out for Sai’s future Harry Potter cosplays. Until then, don’t let any Muggles know about her magical talents!
