Stupefy.

“Harry Potter” actress Miriam Margolyes, 82, bared it all in a nude cover shoot for British Vogue’s Pride Issue.

Margolyes posed for several shots including one of sitting at a table wearing nothing but a pearl necklace and pearl stud earrings as pieces of orange and walnut cake on the table covered her breasts.

The “Age of Innocence” actress also changed into other more fully clothed looks for a photoshoot inside of a white room with miscellaneous clothes and accessories tossed about.

Margolyes — who played Professor Pomona Sprout in the Wizarding World movies — shared a more intimate perspective despite confessing that she “hate[s] my body.”

“I hate big tits [and I have] a drooping belly, little twisted legs. I’m not thrilled with that. But you just make the best of it. You have to. You do the best you can,” she said.

The “Blackadder” actress – who came out as a lesbian in 1966 – was one of British Vogue’s three Pride Issue cover stars along with along with singers Janelle Monáe and Rina Sawayama.

“I never had any shame about being gay or anything really,” she told the outlet in the story published Tuesday. “I knew it wasn’t criminal because it was me. I couldn’t be criminal.”

Margolyes admitted that she struggled with her parents’ reaction, since at the time, being lesbian was still a social taboo.

“It hurt them and I don’t want to hurt people,” she said.

The “Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries” star met her current partner, Heather, on the set of a BBC radio drama and have been together for 54 years – with Margolyes living in London and her partner in Amsterdam.

“We were able to lead our lives without diminishing them,” she said. “I didn’t want her to have to give up anything. And I didn’t want to give up anything. I wanted my cake and I wanted to eat it too. And so far, it’s worked.”

Margolyes rose to fame as Professor Sprout on the popular J. K. Rowling franchise, she confessed that “it doesn’t mean as much to me as it does to them.”

“For me ‘Harry Potter’ wasn’t important. I was very glad I got the part and I enjoyed being in it and meeting all the people, but it’s not Charles Dickens,” she said.

Despite not considering it one of her more significant roles, she still finds it rewarding with the fanbase.

“People come up to me and say ‘I just love you’, and want to hug me. And that is dazzling,” she continued.

Margolyes recalled one outlet previously calling her a “national trinket,” to which she remembered feeling, “I’d like to be a national treasure, but I don’t know if I really am.”
