Harry Potter hunk Stanislav Yanevski looks unrecognisable 18 years after making his wizarding debut.
The actor shot to fame playing heartthrob Victor Krum in the hit JK Rowling franchise. He made his debut in The Goblet Of Fire as the Durmstrang student who played as a Seeker for the Bulgarian National Quidditch team.
As a famous sportsman, he attracted a lot of attention from Hogwarts students. He also famously asked Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) to the Yule Ball.

However, nearly two decades later, and Stan is completely unrecognisable. The once baby-faced actor has ditched his trademark buzz cut and opted for long wavy locks.
Looking drastically different with bulging biceps, he now rocks a more dapper style too including quirky suits and top hats inspired by 1940s fashion. Stan has also grown out his facial hair and spots a fuzzy beard and moustache.

Stan has also made a major career u-turn. Since his stint on Harry Potter, he starred in films such as Hostel: Part II and The Cloaking. His last credit was in the 2021 movie Last Man Down though.
And earlier this year, the actor left fans stunned when he shared his unexpected career change. He is now a lecturer and motivational speaker.
Writing to his fans on Instagram, he said: “Today was a very motivational day. I took part in a lecture and hope to have inspired the students as much as they inspired me.”

Stan now calls himself an actor, businessman, Youtuber and adventurer on his social media accounts. On his Cameo, he wrote: “Actor and influencer, fitness motivator, Youtuber and Instagrammer all round peoples kind of guy loving to see people smile and be happy.
“Best known for Harry Potter – Viktor Krum but also for #stansarmy and Stan Yanevski now himself. Want a personal message, let’s make it unique and special!”
He’s not the only Harry Potter star to undergo a transformation recently. Evanna Lynch almost looks completely unrecognisable after undergoing a dramatic hair transformation.
The actress, 32, shot to fame playing Luna Lovegood on Harry Potter. For the iconic role of Luna, the actress had to bleach her hair light blonde from her natural dark locks. Since the franchise wrapped, Evanna kept her signature coloured locks for several years.
However, this year, Evanna revealed to fans she had decided to switch things up and posted for a completely different hairstyle. Taking to her Instagram, she shared a stunning selfie of her new look.
