An unlikely Lunar New Year mascot has popped up in China this year - Draco Malfoy.
Tom Felton is best known for his role in the Harry Potter series, but now, the actor is also making an appearance in some Chinese houses, with e-commerce sites selling festive decor prominently featuring his face.
His sudden popularity is thanks to his Chinese translation of his name Malfoy - Ma Er Fu, which contains the words for "horse" and "fortune " - ringing especially auspicious for the upcoming Year of the Horse.
Harry Potter is hugely popular in China, with hundreds of millions of books sold. A re-release of the series' first film in 2020 grossed more than 90 million yuan ($13.6m; £9.4m) in three days.
Ahead of Lunar New Year this month, Chinese households typically decorate their doors with couplets - a set of auspicious writings heralding health and prosperity in the new year. Others decorate their houses with red square-shaped papers with auspicious words written on them, a symbol of prosperity and a way of warding off evil.
