Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale donned a hilarious Hagrid costume during a surprise appearance at the Championship play-off final at Wembley.
Ramsdale was spotted in the stands watching Southampton's 1-0 victory against Leeds United on Sunday afternoon but looked unrecognisable.
Sporting a thick black beard and fuzzy wig, Ramsdale's comical attempt to copy the iconic look of Harry Potter character Hagrid was a resounding success.
He was first seen at BOXPARK Wembley but soon made his way into the Southampton end at the national stadium to take in a tense 90 minutes.
Ramsdale may have secured a ticket for one of the hottest seats in town to support his former Bournemouth team-mate David Brooks, who was forced off injured.

A video taken from the stands showed Ramsdale, who had understandably ditched his stick-on beard in the sunshine, chatting to a nearby individual.
Adam Armstrong's first-half goal sent the Saints supporters into raptures and proved enough for the club to seal their return to the Premier League after a season away.
The result also saw them bank an estimated £180million payday - with the play-off final again taking the accolade of the most lucrative match in world football.
Ramsdale has endured a difficult season at the Emirates, having fallen behind No 1 David Raya in the pecking order and made just 11 appearances in total.
He has since been linked with a move away. Newcastle and Wolves are said to have expressed an interest in the stopper and his future remains uncertain this summer.

Earlier this season, Ramsdale openly admitted he enjoyed engaging with supporters while on the pitch during games because he cannot focus for a full match.
'If you ask me to focus on a game of football for 90 minutes I'm finished. I can't do it,' he told Ian Wright and UK rapper Bugzy Malone on .
'So that's why I get involved with the fans and I sing along with the songs. Someone's giving me abuse, I'll turn around and give them a bit back.
'I have had my two/three minutes of sort of madness in my head - straight back to the football. I've got 10/15 minutes of pure concentration again.
'Next thing you know, half-time is around.'
