Daniel Radcliffe may accept been little added than a blink in his father’s eye in 1978, and a abroad blink at that, but a leaked aerial academy annual photo from the '70s has some admirers apprehensive if the “Harry Potter” brilliant stumbled aloft a time-turner.
The photo came from a decades-old annual that was allegedly apparent by a Reddit user. It appearance two doppelgangers of Radcliffe, 24, and Andy Samberg, 35, in bright black-and-white. The adolescent men in the photo action abandoned haircuts, flannel shirts and doofy grins.
The aboriginal affiche captioned it: "What Andy Samberg and Daniel Radcliffe would’ve looked like in the 70s (real pic, begin in a HS annual from 1978).” But the bequest photo was allegedly a little too acute for some Redditors to artlessly abolish it as arduous coincidence. The top-voted animadversion in the cilia read: “So you cogent me this is'nt [sic] Andy Samberg and Daniel Radcliffe in the 70's?”
The blow of the cilia again predictably confused into a alternation of “Lost” jokes, followed by some “Harry Potter” time biking theories, although it decidedly steered bright of Illuminati rumors.
“Isn't it obvious?” one Redditor asked. “Harry Potter had to accept accustomed the time turner from Hermione as a allowance at some point afterwards the Battle of Hogwarts. Harry again catholic to the muggle apple to acquisition the one and alone Andy Samberg of the Lonely Island cool group. Fueled by the time turners magic, and a will to ball to 70's disco music, the duo catholic to the admirable era.”
“I anticipate this is affidavit that Harry Potter is absolute and they aloof fabricated a cine about him to anticipate muggles from accepting suspicious,” addition wrote, afore a Reddit jumped in with a correction. “Nope, Harry was built-in in July 31 1980. It could be James.”
It’s annual acquainted that alike while suspending atheism of abracadabra and time travel, the hopeful “Potter” approach fails to annual for some above discrepancies, the aboriginal and best accessible of which is that the two actors accept an 11-year age difference. Secondly, photos already abide on the Web of Andy Samberg in aerial school, and he doesn’t arise at any point in his boyhood years to accept resembled his declared doppelganger. And thirdly, clashing the two men in the Reddit photo, Samberg and Radcliffe accept a apparent acme difference, as apparent in a contempo photograph of the two.
But maybe J.K. Rowling will explain all in her new Pottermore website…
