'Dancing Hermione' casually stupefies everyone at Pride
The brightest (and fiercest) witch of her age is back.
Performer Kelsey Ellison reprised her viral "dancing Hermione" outfit for a magic moment during Saturday's Pride event in London.
The YouTube personality and self-proclaimed Harry Potter enthusiast gained fame when she appeared at MCM London's ComicCon, stupefying all with a casually fierce dance while dressed up as Hermione Granger.
On Saturday, she brought the magic to Pride in London, voguing her way through her celebrated routine, backpack and all, and finishing with a casual split — all in a casually steamy summer temperature of 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit).

Ellison, who identifies as bisexual and demisexual, posted her reasons for dressing up as Hermione at the Pride event on Twitter. "I’m just so thankful and grateful I live in a country where we can be proud a[nd] celebrate who we are," she wrote.
"Hermione imo is a character who would support and stand up for LGBTQ+ rights," she added.
She also credited the creators of the dance she's become famous for, voguing, which was developed in Harlem's 1980s ballroom scene by young gay men.
