A baby Mandrake is the star of this magical 'Harry Potter' photo shoot
Don't worry; this cute little Mandrake's cry won't kill you.
This week, the Internet is spellbound by a set of Harry Potter-themed newborn photos — most notably featuring a little Gryffindor wearing ear protectors to shield him from the deadly cries of his newborn brother, a Mandrake. (Quick reminder: the Mandrake is a plant with a root resembling a human baby.)
The photos, taken by Kelsey Clouse of Lune de la Rogue Photography, were specially requested by parents Katherine and Jesse Oldfield, who are longtime Harry Potter fans.

"I knew it was key that Theodore [the baby] be crying for the shot," Katherine told BuzzFeed. "Luckily, babies tend to do that."
Perhaps the best part: li'l Gryffindor Sebastian's reaction to his crying brother was 100% genuine. Because even if it's not deadly, a baby crying is not a pleasant sound. Accio earplugs, please.
Just throwing it out there — we'd love to see a Gringotts dragon-themed shoot when Theodore turns one.
