These photos of Emma Watson's doppelgänger will blow your mind
If you happen to look like Emma Watson then you'd be foolish not to take advantage of it, right?

Kari Lewis, a cosplayer and Hufflepuff from Indianapolis, U.S., looks more than a bit like the Harry Potter star — and judging by her recent Instagram posts, she's certainly trying to make the most of the similarity.

"I didn't know who Emma Watson was when I was first spotted at a postal office and a couple of young girls told me I looked like 'Hermione Granger'," Lewis told BuzzFeed.
"If it wasn't for those two young girls, I probably wouldn't have known about Harry Potter until a bit later. I think they sort of started my dive into the Harry Potter world."
Now Lewis often cosplays as Emma Watson — and her various characters — and shares the photos on her Instagram and Twitter accounts.

Oh, and here's a composite that's half Lewis, half Watson.

Even a well-made Polyjuice potion would struggle to produce such a spell-binding likeness.
