Potterheads have been comparing the Harry Potter cast members from their days on set to now and they've all noticed one striking transformation.
May 2 was celebrated as International Harry Potter Day, which was started by then-Prime Minister David Cameron back in 2012. This special day was created as a tribute Harry Potter and the whole wizarding world franchise.
Some Harry Potter fans took to social media to look at the transformations of the actors who brought the magical movies to life.
A TikTok account, Harry Potter Lore, has made waves with a video showcasing Jamie Waylett (Vincent Crabbe), Josh Herdman (Gregory Goyle), Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), and Robert Pattinson (Cedric Diggory).
Standing out among them, the transformation of one particular star has got the fans talking. According to many comments on the post, Jamie Waylett now bears an uncanny resemblance to American rapper and singer Post Malone.
One fan remarked: "First dude turned into Post Malone." Another joked: "Since when was Post Malone in Harry Potter?".
Another joined in the comparison, saying: "Why does Crabbe look like Post Malone now?" This sentiment was shared by yet another commenter: "Young Post Malone in Harry Potter?".
Another quipped about the actor's new looks: "The first one became Post Malone?" The TikTok clip shows a picture of Jamie Waylett from 2003, wearing his Hogwarts robes, juxtaposed with him aged 35.
In the Harry Potter series, he portrayed Crabbe, the son of a Death Eater and a member of Slytherin House who was part of Draco Malfoy's gang. His role in Harry Potter remains his only film role to date, featuring in six out of the eight films.
However, despite having a promising future, his life took a dark turn that appears to have halted his acting career.

In 2009, he lost his role in the popular franchise after being discovered growing cannabis plants at his home. He was sentenced to 120 hours of community service, marking the beginning of his decline from the screen.
Things worsened when he was imprisoned for two years in 2012 after being convicted of violent disorder for drinking from a bottle of Champagne stolen during the London riots. He was photographed holding a petrol bomb, but was acquitted of intending to destroy or damage property.
Recently, however, Jamie has been making efforts to rebuild his life. He has been seen offering personal video messages on the well-known celebrity website Cameo for fans.

World's sexiest volleyball star Kayla Simmons goes topless on beach as fans say ‘never been jealous of ocean until now'
KAYLA SIMMONS went topless and swam near sharks in her most Jaws-dropping photoshoot ever. The former university volleyball star modestly claimed she was just "playing mermaids". 19 Kayla Simmons lapped up both the sun and Instagram likes as fans foamed over 'one of her hottest' photoshoots Credit: 19 The fearless star went for a plucky dip Credit: 19 Fans believe Kayla was some-fin special Credit: 19 Admirers were awed by her boldness Credit: But her 1million Instagram followers believe it was more about thrills than gills as she dazzled on the beach and underwater. One admirer reflected: "Never been jealous of the ocean until now." Another fan claimed the social media sensation had "a smile to launch a thousand ships". Kayla's nautical but nice snaps included her lying on the sand in a bikini that was minus its upper half. She was also seen in a short video wading into the sea, still without a top. And once she plunged under, marine lovers might reckon some of the exotic sealife she was snapped with - including huge fish - was almost as impressive as Kayla's free-spirited dip. But woe betide anyone whispering that to her army of enthusiasts. One fan raved: "One of your hottest sets... so stunning Kayla!" Another wrote: "Everything about this is incredible." A third simply stated: "Most beautiful woman in the world." Kayla Simmons films herself in sauna wearing just a tiny bikini as 'world's sexiest volleyball player' sends fans wild And a fourth posted: "I love your natural beauty." A few observers did worry about what looked like sharks just metres away - with Kayla even seen swimming towards one such beast. And when she was asked where the snaps were taken, she replied: "First photo is Hawaii." That Pacific island state is home to around 40 types of shark - but nearly all those varieties are safe to humans, with bite attacks very rare. So Kayla probably felt safe beneath the surface being... "snapped". The part-time mermaid also proved she's a full-time marvel on Instagram - as she rapidly clocked up thousands of likes for her assortment of aquatic pics. A glimpse into her life on dry land! 19 Kayla played volleyball for Marshall University - although usually not in this outfit Credit: Instagram / Kaylasimmmons 19 She has built up a huge following on social media 19 On TikTok and Instagram she has a combined 1.8m following Credit: Instagram @kaylasimmmons 19 Kayla still plays volleyball occasionally and pulled off a trick shot with her bum Credit: INSTAGRAM @kaylasimmmons @outofsystemofficial 19 Kayla revealed how she keeps her peachy rear in perfect shape Credit: Instagram/kaylasimmmons 19 It's not just volleyball Kayla can play as she impressed at Top Golf 19 She regularly wows her fans with bikini snaps Credit: Instagram 19 Kayla 'gave a new meaning to sideboob' in this upload Credit: Instagram/Kaylasimmons 19 Kayla loves the beach Credit: Instagram @kaylasimmmons 19 Kayla gave this dog an eyeful Credit: Instagram @kaylasimmmons 19 And this little kitten didn't know where to look Credit: Instagram/kaylasimmmons 19 Kayla shared a collection of steamy photos to her Instagram from her summer trip around Europe Credit: Instagram/Kayla Simmons 19 Kayla lives a glamorous life Credit: Instagram/Kayla Simmons 19 She shared this seriously busty snap on Instagram Credit: Instagram @kaylasimmmons

Brian Wilson: Beach Boys star who surfed the waves to success
Born in California in 1942, he showed early musical talent, teaching harmonies to his younger brothers Dennis and Carl and obsessively studying piano. In 1961, Wilson, his brothers, cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine recorded Surfin', a local hit that marked the birth of The Beach Boys. Signed to Capitol Records a year later, the band shaped 1960s American pop with hits such as Surfin' USA, I Get Around and California Girls. Brian Wilson was a member of The Beach Boys (Ian West/PA) The 1966 album Pet Sounds, which included the track God Only Knows, remains a landmark in modern music, influencing generations of artists including Sir Paul McCartney, who called it his favourite record. Sir Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Smokey Robinson and Carole King were also fans, while The Who's drummer, Keith Moon, fantasised about joining the Beach Boys. The band ranks among the most popular groups of the rock era, with more than 30 singles in the Top 40 and worldwide sales of more than 100 million and they were voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. Originally unfinished in the 1960s, he finally completed and released Smile in 2004 to critical acclaim. Wilson struggled with mental illness and drug addiction, but in later years he toured globally.
