A real ‘Harry Potter:’ Class photo reveals the trio exist in the Muggle world

By Andrew Sims (@Sims) at 9:45 am, May 1, 2012

A photo from a class yearbook that recently surfaced appears to depict a real Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger.

The three kids are seen wearing school robes and funnily enough are standing right next to each, as J.K. Rowling’s trio probably would.

Well-played stunt? Crazy coincidence? You decide!

this is too funny and very surreal

Hard to tell if it’s a real thing or not. I kind of think the girl in front of the Harry look a like, kind of looks like Ginny. I wish we had actual proof of this being real. It’s hard to believe it at the moment.

  She DOES look like Ginny! This is Crazy!
- Katelyn
  
  nah, she looks like Bonnie Wright. The girl NEXT to Harry looks like book Ginny!
James

  It is and that’s just what I thought when I first saw this. Funny how the “Real” Ron ended up in his music video.

The boy in the bottom left looks like Draco, the girl below Harry looks like Ginny, the girl on her right looks like Luna. Only problem for all of them is the hair.

The girl in front of “Hermione” it looks like Ginny. The boy next to “Ron” and it looks like the boy Seamus , and top to “Seamus”, Neville.

Cool as this is it’s not news! Hypable really needs to stop posting stuff like this if it truly wants to be a credible news source.
- Jen
  
  If you don’t like it then don’t read it.
  - http://twitter.com/iTsxLuiGi iTs xLuiGi
    
    That’s not the point, and I agree 100% with Jessica. If you go to a news website, there should be news. You shouldn’t have to skip around. Sure it’s cool, but it’s not news. Same thing with “fan opinions”.
    - American Moth
      
      I really enjoy all that kind of stuff. There are a bajillion different ‘news’ sites out there, but none of them are nearly as much fun as hypable is
      - http://hypable.com John Thrasher
        
        I typically don’t like moths, but I love this one!
    - Jen
      
      That’s your opinion.
      
      If I don’t want to read one of the articles then I don’t. It’s as easy as that. Here’s how you do it: you DON’T click on it! Problem solved! :)Oh and your claim that you “shouldn’t have to skip around” is absolutely ridiculous. I don’t read every single post that comes up b/c I don’t want to read every single post that comes up. I don’t find every single post interesting. But just b/c I skip around doesn’t mean that the site sucks. The difference is I don’t bitch b/c a website puts up a story I don’t want to read…I JUST DON’T READ IT! This was just a funny story (which is why I clicked on it). Just b/c Hypable posts a story that YOU don’t think is worthy of being posted doesn’t mean that it’s a bad site.
      - Jessica
        
        To use your own words: “That’s your opinion.”
        
        The only one that’s bitching is you. We were both being civil and stating our opinions. You attacked us. But I still disagree with you. If Hypable wants to have a section for this fanservice stuff then fine, put all the quirky not-news/fan opinion pieces in one section. This shouldn’t be on the front page in big type with a large picture. I do usually block what I don’t want to read. I do want Harry Potter news. But this isn’t news! I like Hypable because I can find a lot of entertainment news in one place, and this kind of thing is annoying.
        
        I’m not going to argue with you. You have your opinion and I have mine. We’re both entitled to share them. I’m just giving feedback to a site I like in hopes that they improve their quality. There was really no need to be so rude.
      - Jen
        
        “This shouldn’t be on the front page in big type with a large picture.” This is based off the number of page views. It has nothting to do w/ the staff putting it there b/c they personally think it’s a hot news item. Since the story was clicked on so many times, it was moved to the front page in big type with a large picture. That’s just how the site works.
        
        Maybe I was bitching but I get tired of reading comments about people who don’t like this article or that article, or are mad b/c Hypable didn’t post a certain article. They can’t please everyone (obviously)! If you don’t think an article is worthy of your time then don’t read it. You’re not going to like everything they post. I don’t like every Harry Potter post even though I love Harry Potter. The ones I don’t want to read I just don’t read. That’s all I’m saying.
        
        It’s your opinion that this story isn’t news. Apparently a lot of people thought it was worth reading since it’s had enough page views to make it on the front page of the site. Just saying.
        
        I don’t really want to start anything and I probably shouldn’t have even responded the 2nd time. Sorry if I came off rude. I was just trying to make a point.
        
        And I don’t think I “attacked” you. I just said that you don’t have to read the article.
      - Liderc
        
        It’s on the front page because it’s received the most page views on the entire site for the last two days, hence the majority of readers disagree with you.

  Lololololol, I love this things. It isn’t ironic that Ron Weasley interpreted him in one of his music videos?
Zack

GUYS, the only “flaw” is that Harry’s hair is blonde in this photo. It should be black.

If you look even closer you can see Neville (second person in the top left hand corner), Goyle (right next to Neville and directly above Ron), Malfoy (bottom right corner) and Ginny (Bottom right corner and above Draco and to his right).

This is completely off-subject, but why is there no commemoration for the Battle of Hogwarts on Hypable today. I came here expecting at least a commemorative post. Tumblr is goin’ crazy with it, but Hypable’s got nothin’?

Bottom right is Draco Malfoy, the guy next to Ron is Neville Longbottom and the guy behind Ron (haha) is Vincent Crabbe of Crabbe and Goyle.
