Teenagers everywhere know that Harry Potter actor Matthew Lewis has transformed from lovable dork Neville Longbottom into a hunky heartthrob. JK Rowling, though, wasn't prepared to see photographic proof. This resulted in some amusing banter on social media.

The actor posed shirtless for an upcoming issue of Attitude Magazine, a gay men's lifestyle and fashion magazine in the United Kingdom. In one of the shots, Lewis is stripping off his tank top. In the other, he's leaning on a chair and appears to only be wearing underwear.

"Warn me next time, for God's sake," she told Lewis.

When Lewis saw Rowling's comment, he momentarily transformed back into the bashful Longbottom boy.
