Oh Zayn, Zayn, Zayn. What’s going on, mate? First and foremost, where’s that second album we’ve all been impatiently waiting for? Sure, you seem to be finally over that Instagram poem vibe and have moved swiftly on to a great many pictures of your lovely face and a plethora of videos of your morning jam sessions and such. Word on the street is that you’re even out in Miami shooting a music video, which sound nice. But a revelation that has come of your trip to The Magic City is that there’s a sneaky Harry Potter tattoo on your calf that no one had really noticed.
The thing is though, the tattoo is of Lord Voldemort, aka He Who Must Not Be Named, Nor Inked On Ones Calf and I think you've backed the wrong horse here pal.

26 of 262018
In June 2018 Zayn dyed his hair lavender and fans thought it meant there was romance in the air between him and Gigi Hadid.
Truth be told, we don't often see much of Zayn's legs. So on this rare short-appropriate occasion where pictures were snapped of him sunning himself in Miami, it's no wonder that fans on the internet were quick to notice that Zayn was sporting a seemingly new tat on his upper right calf.
If we go hard on the Instagram stalking and trace back to instances in which Zayn has given us a glimpse of his bare right leg, it would appear that something - albeit blurry and difficult to confirm via the zoom function - has been on that calf for a while. As in, since last summer.
In a collage posted to Instagram in July 2017, we see Zayn on a skateboard. We also see Zayn's right calf. If you zoom in a bit (a lot) you can see the shape of a Voldemort-looking head in the very place that the recently discovered close ups from his Miami trip. See for yourself...
Nevertheless, the tattoo shows Voldemort in the midst of that iconic Battle Of Hogwarts; arm outstretched and most likely bellowing 'Avada Kevarda'. The difference is, however, that Voldy is not depicted as being in mid-duel with Chosen One Harry Potter. No, on Zayn's leg The Dark Lord is in battle with The Flash - a superhero who most definitely does not exist in the wizarding world of Harry Potter, for the record.
Zayn does like to go a bit rogue with his tattoos. We know this for fact. But besides the now-covered up big homage to ex-girlfriend Perrie Edwards and those Gigi Hadid eyes that appeared on his chest in January, the binding theme has always been along the lines of magic and superheroes.
And while that's great and all (please note the Hulk and Deadpool tattoos on his other leg, and the iconic ZAP! one on his arm), did we need to go with Voldy? Of all the Harry Potter people, we chose Voldemort?
There are few things I cherish in life but one is Zayn Malik and the other is the Harry Potter franchise. And this meeting of my two great loves isn't one that I anticipated, least of all with the latter reference being that of the most evil person in the world upon the calf of the former. Obliviate that shit, babes. We're team Gryfinndor all the way.
