Harry Potter star Stanislav Yanevski has swapped his Quidditch robes for a more colourful look as he looks unrecognisable in recent pictures.
Stanislav appears in the hit movies as Victor Krum, a Bulgarian Quidditch player who briefly dates Hermoine Granger and takes her to the Yule Ball.
Victor Krum first appears in the fourth Harry Potter movie The Goblet of Fire and was also meant to appear in part one of the final Deathly Hallows movies. His Deathly Hallow scenes did not make the final cut, but the character is still hugely popular amongst fans.
Now, 18 years since The Goble of Fire, the now 38-year-old star has now posted selfies to social media wearing a bright top hat and a snappy suit to promote a Harry Potter-inspired bookshop.
His fashion appears to be inspired by 1940s dapper fashion, as he posed with friends smoking pipes and showing off pocket watches.

It appears the bookstore may have been holding a meet-and-greet or event for Harry Potter fans.
On social media, the Elephant Bookstore wrote: “Stan Yanevski aka Viktor Krum was in Elephant yesterday night with his friends.”
On Instagram, Stanislav posted pictures of himself and wrote: “Travelling through the ages of time, inspired by the world of art in all of its forms and colours. Charged up with very positive and friendly energy by the best unique boutique bookstore [Elephant Bookstore].
“Alone you can conquer dreams. With a team of like-minded friends, you can conquer worlds!”
In another outfit at the Elephant Bookstore, Stanislav posted a picture of himself wearing a tweed suit finished with a black-and-green bowler hat. He wrote: “They say green suits me well. Somewhat Slytherin they say. What do you think?”
On social media, many fans appeared delighted by the actor’s new look. One fan wrote: “You look like Albus Dumbledore from Fantastic Beasts!”
Another person said: “Took ‘aged like fine wine’ to a whole new level!”
Someone else commented: “You all look amazing! And that pipe is so freaking cool!”
Stanislav also posts for Harry Potter fans on Cameo, a website in which fans can request a short video from actors as well as other celebrities.
On the site, Stanislav description reads: “Actor and influencer, fitness motivator, Youtuber and Instagrammer all round peoples kind of guy loving to see people smile and be happy.
