From the set makers to the sound department, to the camera op's, everyone pulled together to make this fantastical world come to life. I remember being amazed at the sheer number of people working behind the scenes. Sometimes looking back feels like watching a fuzzy old VHS home recording. When it works you're transported somewhere else, both in the doing and the watching it it's magic. I think it's the transformation of it all that is what appealed to me.

Oftentimes sneaking into some grotty London Pub (not for the drinking) but to watch the new obscure play in its downstairs theatre.

My first love was theatre, I would try and see everything. I guess I was my own pushy parent, pushing myself. There was never a moment of questioning that instinct. Whatever Harry Melling chooses to do with his career, it will be wonderful to continue to see him grow as an actor outside of what we saw in the Harry Potter series.What pushed you into acting, and what is your first memory of being in front of the camera? Do you remember the feeling you had? This year alone, he’s starred in three major things to come out and hopefully his career just keeps growing as he’s set to play Malcolm in a version of Macbeth. It’s been wonderful to see how Harry Melling has grown as an actor since his time as Dudley Dursley. And that’s include his role as Merrick in The Old Guard (which came out earlier this year). Playing Harry Beltik, he is completely different from anything we’ve seen before. When he appeared in The Devil All The Time earlier this fall, he was barely recognizable as the Dudley we knew growing up.Īnd the same thing happened with The Queen’s Gambit. The great thing about Harry Melling as an actor is that he can completely transform himself into each roll he plays. The young actors from the Harry Potter series have continued to grow in their careers post the series and Harry Melling is no different! Bringing Dudley Dursley to life in the movies, Melling has had quite the year with roles in prominent Netflix properties and now he’s starring in The Queen’s Gambit with Anya Taylor-Joy! From Dudley Dursley to roles in prominent Netflix properties, Harry Melling is having quite the career and it’s lovely to see how he’s grown into a wonderful young actor!
