Old Yearbook Photo Proves Harry Potter & Pals Were Real

May 3, 2012 / aha!, characters, eye candy, harry potter, hocus pocus, i knew it!, irl, kids, look-alikes, magic, neato, platform 44 and a 1/3 or whatever here i come!, real life, seriously the internet is on a dry spell and i'm sorry okay?, wait a minute..., who would have thought, witches

harry-potter-and-pals-irl.jpg

This is a yearbook photo from an unknown school (although they look European, so that narrows it down) from an unknown year (although it looks like sometime in the 90's, so we should be able to Sherlock Holmes our way to their actual identities from here) clearly showing Harry Potter and his friends Hermoine Granger and Samwise Gamgee. "Dammit GW, that's Ron -- Samwise is from Lord of the Rings." Jesus, is this really worth arguing about? My point is THERE IS NOTHING ELSE ON THE INTERNET TODAY.

Thanks to Mark, who tried to tell me the girl in front of Harry is a witch and I think he might be right.

    More Realistically Rendered Futurama Characters
    August 14, 2012
    Remember last year's "lifelike" rendering of Dr. Zoidberg as imagined by creature designer Jared Krichovsky? Well he's back with more characters, this time giving the realistic treatment to Morbo, Nibbler, Lrrr and Kif. Once again, amazing job. The guy my landlord sent to re... / Continue →
  • Dot-Gobbler!: Unknown Facts About Pac-Man
    March 7, 2011
    Pac-Man, everybody's favorite dot-muncher besides yours truly (I'm a sucker for Dippin' Dots!), has always been a riddle wrapped inside a mystery wrapped inside a giant mouthy exterior. That is, until now. Game-creator Toru Iwatani has finally opened up about the toothless gl... / Continue →
  • Science Or Sorcery?: Stream Of Water Falling In A Zigzag
    March 13, 2013
    This is a video from Youtuber Brusspup of a stream of water appearing to fall to the ground in a zigzag pattern. Presumably because it's hipster water and a regular flow would be -- wait for it -- too mainstream. I'll be here all week, folks. The camera is set to match the v... / Continue →

  • Ina

    That looks like ed sheeran....(the ron weasley look-alike).... :3

  • Bet Ron and Hermione are holding hands behind Harry's back.

  • Oh wow, that Samwise Gamgee comment made me laugh out loud and net me some strange looks all around.

  • the ginger looks more like ed sheeran when he was young :S

  • All that goes to prove is Ed Sheeran may have known the kid from Love Actually and some girl who likes her side fringe.

    The ironic photo is based off of mathematical chances that will blow your mind or just the forces of the universe that love to play pranks.

  • i just hate harry potter:P

  • artilleryboy

    Thats'  Ginny down in the bottom right hand corner.

  • WTF they don't even resemble the characters beyond gender.

  • You, sir, are a moron.

  • Fart_Barfunkle

    Fake. There's a huge red circle on the picture. Clearly shopped.

  • Guest

     That's not shopped, it's a force field to prevent the camera from stealing their souls.

  • No... the circle represents the Resurrection Stone...

    SHEESH... read a book every once in a while!

  • Well, the 90's would make sense since the books are supposed to take place between 1991 and 1998 (okay, then... 1991 to 2017 if you want to get specific and don't take the flashbacks into account).

    DILIGENS MAXIMA!!!

    Also, girl pictured bottom left is quite easy on the eyes.

  • Steve Gravel
