HARRY Potter, is that really you?

The former Boy Wizard himself, Daniel Radcliffe, has stunned fans with a revealing new photo shoot for Vanity Fair Italia.

Photographed by renowned British celebrity photographer Charlie Gray, the 26-year-old actor is seen throwing brooding poses in a variety of outfits — but it’s one pic with decidedly less clothing that has fans talking:

The shoot brings to mind Radcliffe’s Harry Potter co-star Matthew Lewis’s own racy magazine shoot last year — in which the former Neville Longbottom stripped down to his briefs, earning a shocked reaction from none other than J.K. Rowling for his troubles. Rowling hasn’t yet publicly commented on this new picture of one of her former child star brood looking all buff - but others have been more vocal:

In more sombre news, Radcliffe shared a beautiful tribute to another Harry Potter co-star, Alan Rickman, following the actor’s death from cancer aged 69 last week.

“Alan Rickman is undoubtedly one of the greatest actors I will ever work with. He is also, one of the loyalest and most supportive people I’ve ever met in the film industry. He was so encouraging of me both on set and in the years post-Potter. I’m pretty sure he came and saw everything I ever did on stage both in London and New York,” Radcliffe wrote.

“Alan was extremely kind, generous, self-deprecating and funny. And certain things obviously became even funnier when delivered in his unmistakeable double-bass.

“As an actor he was one of the first of the adults on Potter to treat me like a peer rather than a child. Working with him at such a formative age was incredibly important and I will carry the lessons he taught me for the rest of my life and career. Film sets and theatre stages are all far poorer for the loss of this great actor and man.”
