This is what Dudley from Harry Potter looks like now

Little Diddikums has grown up!

Few people would say they were a fan of Dudley Dursely in the Harry Potter franchise. After all, he was 100% horrible to The Boy Who Lived. Need we say more?

However, time has passed which means surely little Dudders has matured by now?

Well, the actor who played him in the franchise, Harry Melling, has certainly grown up!

The 26-year-old appeared on British chat show The Wright Stuff and was barely recognisable.

He was asked if he was embarrassed to be cast as “the fat kid” in Harry Potter.

“It’s so weird talking about it now because it seems like a lifetime ago but I consider it a great thing that I’ve now sort of changed my image for what of a better word, into something that isn’t recognised as the person I was when I was 10.”

“Actually I’m really proud of it in a weird way, I don’t really mind it.”
