Harry Styles was spotted flying over the water near the coast of Scotland, dangling from a helicopter. The former One Directioner was filming the music video for “Sign of the Times,” his new single, which drops later this week. But forget the context because the internet is having a field day with flyin’ Styles. Yer a wizard, Harry!

Styles is getting clowned with comparisons to all kinds of flying characters in pop culture, from Mary Poppins to Spongebob Squarepants:

One Direction fans have always been extremely active online, and Directioner Twitter loves this meme. Folks with Larry Stylinson-themed Twitter handles are sharing Flying Harry photos like crazy.

Truly, the hype for Harry’s new career as a superspy is real.
Everyone loves Harry flying, but they’re a little disturbed by his stunt double, who wore a less-than-lifelike Halloween mask of Harry’s face. Get a load of Michael Myers from Halloween, here:

Stunt Double-I can wear a mask

Not exactly the heartthrob you remember from One Direction, eh?

Fair play to Harry for flying on the close-up shots, though, even if he doesn’t do his own stunts.
