Before making one of the films in the Harry Potter series, he lost a large amount of weight, and the film producers considered changing actors as Dudley was portrayed as being large.
Melling is the grandson of Patrick Troughton, a noted character actor of the 1960s and 1970s, best remembered as the second Doctor in Doctor Who.
Ironically, after nearly ten years of playing a Muggle in a family that despises magic, Harry played the part of a warlock named Gilli in the Season Three episode "The Sorceror's Shadow" on the BBC show Merlin.
