HARRY MELLING
 12 year old Harry Melling plays Harry's spoilt Muggle cousin Dudley.
This is Harry's first professional role, although his love and talent for acting was clearly evident aged just four years old when he started putting on shows for his family. By five years old he had enrolled for Saturday morning classes at The Sue Nieto Theatre School. At nine he became a member of the Millfield Theatre Youth Drama Group and appeared in Robert Hyman's original musicals House and Y3K.
It comes as no surprise that acting is Harry's main love it is most definitely in the genes. His grandfather was Patrick Troughton famed for his role as Dr. Who, his uncle is David Troughton a lead actor with the RSC and his other uncle is Michael Troughton famed for his portrayal as Piers Fletcher Dervish in The New Statesman. His cousin Sam has just started a career with the RSC, his mother is a illustrator and his father (also an illustrator) has worked on animated films.
Aside from his love of theatre and films, Harry enjoys playing the drums, watching WWF and is a keen follower of football particularly Manchester United. |
