Highlights
- Actor Harry Melling who plays Harry Potter's 'mud blood' cousin Dudley Dursley in the hit fantasy franchise, had to don a fat suit while filming the latest film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
- The 21-year-old had lost weight after filming 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' three years ago and had to wear the "bizarre" fat suit, reported Contactmusic.
- "I do look a bit different because Dudley was a very piggish character and about three years ago I lost quite a considerable amount of weight. It was quite funny because I had a big fat suit on in this film and face prosthetics. It was bizarre, you feel really big and my mobility was affected," said the actor.
- But Melling said that he had fun with it. "However it is amazing to feel light within for someone that should feel really heavy, so that was a fascinating contrast" said the actor.
- The actor said that his true love is theatre, not films.
- "I am auditioning again, getting back to theatre is amazing. I have had a really lovely year so it would be nice to repeat that," he said.
