Someone has cast an attractive spell on the cast of Harry Potter.

The young actors and actresses who sky-rocketed to fame via the Harry Potter movie franchise began doing so 20 years ago today.

Oh yes, on June 26, 1997, Harry Potter first became part of pop culture. We met its stars as children. Now they’re full blown adults.

Very attractive adults, at that.

From Daniel, Emma and Rupert to Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) shirtless on the cover of Attitude Magazine, they’ve come so far.

So very, very far.

Check out then-and-now photos of the main Harry Potter cast to see the sexy men and women our favorite young actors became!
