By Callum Gunn
Harry Potter star Harry Melling has a new role and he is a far cry from the cousin of The Boy Who Lived, Dudley Dursley. He is completely unrecognizable.
I don’t think any of us where a fan of Dudley Dursley. The tormenting cousin of Harry Potter was pretty much hated by pretty much everybody and full credit to Harry Melling, he nailed the role. However, he has come a long way since his day’s in the Wizarding World movies, in fact, he is completely unrecognizable.
Appearing in the Coen Brothers Netflix movie, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Melling appears in the six-part Western anthology film, each one a tale of the American frontier, Melling appears as an artist called Harrison.
