A large portion of the Harry Potter fanbase have grown up along with the characters, witnessing the likes of Emma Watson transform into a prominent feminist campaigner who makes speeches at the UN and Daniel Radcliffe go on to act in various roles which contrast starkly with Harry Potter such as his latest film Swiss Army Man where he portrays a farting corpse.

Now, another of the former child stars has surfaced with a notably different look and career than in his Harry Potter heyday.
