HARRY Potter actress Scarlett Byrne has stripped for Playboy magazine.

The 26-year-old, who played Pansy Parkinson in the final three Harry Potter films, flaunts her flesh in the March/April issue.

Posting on her Instagram on Valentine’s Day, she shared a black and white photo from the shoot where she is wrapped in a sheet.

“I’m very proud to be a part of the March/April issue of Playboy. I penned a short essay along with my pictorial titled, ‘The Feminist Mystique’. A big thank you to @Playboy, the creative team, and @cooperbhefner for such a unique opportunity. #NakedIsNormal,” she wrote.

The actress is engaged to Cooper Hefner, the son of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.

The Playboy heir proposed to Byrne in August 2015, jetting over to the UK to ask her father for her hand in marriage, according to Us Weekly.

The news comes after the 63-year-old men’s magazine announced it was bringing back nude models for its upcoming issue — one year after banning naked photos in an effort to boost circulation and attract more mainstream advertisers.

Cooper Hefner tweeted on Monday: “I’ll be the first to admit the way in which the magazine portrayed nudity was dated, but removing it entirely was a mistake.

“Nudity was never the problem, because nudity isn’t a problem. Today, we’re taking our identity back and rediscovering who we are.”
