This Sexy Harry Potter Shoot is Going Viral and Confusing the Hell Out of Us
Are we allowed to get hot for HP?
Oklahoma City photographer Sarah Hester has officially just turned all of your Harry Potterfantasies into a reality.
Teaming up with model and photographer Zachary Howell, the HP fan recently decided to reimagine a stripped-down version of the Boy Who Lived for a super steamy boudoir shoot — and it's definitive proof that magic is real. But are we really allowed to get hot for Harry?
"I met Zach (the model) at a local meet up for photographers," she told Cosmopolitan.com. "He was modeling for us that day and I needed a lot of help with my male posing. I couldn't remember his name and so I just called him 'Harry.'"
"Later in the day I jokingly asked if he would be up for a Harry Potter-themed male boudoir," she continued. "He was into the idea and so we scheduled it right away!"
The rest, as they say, is history — and based on these photos, it's safe to say the duo are a match made in Hogwarts heaven.
While it might be hard to believe, Sarah went on to say that this was actually her first time doing a "dudeoir" shoot. In fact, she rarely even photographs men — and as a result, the photographer ended up giggling her way through the whole thing.
"I normally shoot women in my studio," she said. "This was my first male boudoir shoot. It was very different for me. I was really uncomfortable, but my assistants and Zach made it really easy."
"I did giggle and scream a few times," she continued. "We had an absolute blast during the shoot! Everyone was laughing."
And in case you were worried, Sarah also confirmed that her model is more than just a pretty face, and was an absolute pleasure to work with.
"He does a lot of modeling and posing for nude portrait artists," she said. "He's a really awesome dude and super fun to be around."
As to whether Sarah herself had a crush on any of the Harry Potter characters growing up, the photographer was quick to respond with the obvious.
"Harry was definitely my crush!," she said. "He's everything a girl wants! What's not to love?"
... Based on these pictures, I couldn't agree more.
