Harry Potter star Harry Melling looks TOTALLY unrecognisable in new role
He played Dudley Dursley in Harry Potter
Last updated 22nd Nov 2018
Cast your mind back a few years, to when the Harry Potter films were at the height of their popularity and propelled a lot of the child actors into stardom. With the likes of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, all becoming incredibly famous 'overnight', the films also starred a young Harry Melling as Dudley Dursley - Harry Potter's only cousin.
Now, seven years after we saw him star in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, Harry Melling is TOTALLY unrecognisable as takes on a very different role in a new Netflix film series available to watch now.
Harry started playing Dudley when he was just 10 years old, but now at the age of 29, the cheeky little kid that we knew and loved in the films has gone. Now, Harry plays an artist called Harrison in a Netflix Original - The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.
Netflix's Ballad of Buster Scruggs is a six-part Western anthology film. Written and directed by the Coen Brothers, it's a series of tales about the American frontier. Each chapter tells a distinct story about the American West and it's available now to watch on Netflix.
Here's what the kids from Harry Potter look like now:
