Accio-Awkward! Harry Potter Movie Promotion Photos That Give Us Secondhand Cringe

Being a teenager is a confusing time. It's sort of like being a toddler all over again. Your body is changing rapidly in ways you are not prepared for, you are seeking to rebel from overbearing parents, and you are suddenly feeling intense emotions that you have trouble regulating. The difference is that you are no longer an adorable two-year-old while going through this – you are an awkward teen. 

When I look at photos of myself from my high school years, I can't help but cringe. I have some amount of nostalgia for that era of my life, and I can afford myself some grace by now fully understanding what I was going through at the time. However, I am forever grateful that these pictures are stored away on flash drives hidden in my childhood bedroom and not on the internet. The cast of the Harry Potter movies does not have this luxury; their adolescense was thoroughly documented. If being a teen isn't awkward enough, some poses they had to do for promotional materials definitely take it to the next level. Head on down for some secondhand cringe and laughs.
