It's been a whopping 14 years since Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone made its big screen debut.
A lot has changed since then - most notably the child stars which the movie franchise made famous.
Now - after the internet was astonished to see what Harry Potter's Neville Longbottom looks like now - Digital Spy has donned our sorting hat to see what the now-muggles look like today...
1. Harry Melling as Dudley Dursley
Post-Potter, Harry Melling has had parts in Merlin, Just William and Garrow's Law. Last year, he also performed a one-man play in New York called peddling and starred opposite Scarlett Johnson, Patsy Ferran and Felix Scott in The Angry Brigade.
2. Matthew Lewis as Neville Longbottom
We nearly lost our Snitch when we saw the transformation Matthew Lewis has had since his days as Neville Longbottom. He's gained a beard, good looks and also a role in BBC Three comedy Bluestone 42.

Renowned as launch pad for politicians and TV personalities, the school has found new role as source of acting talent
From Wellington to Gladstone, and Macmillan to Cameron, Eton College has long been a seedbed for British politics and for the diplomatic service. More recently a smattering of television personalities, conductors and Olympic sportsmen have also been able to look back at schooldays spent on the celebrated playing fields. Now though, that famously establishment school near Windsor is increasingly being hailed as a first-rate launch pad for a theatrical career.
Leading Old Etonian actors such as Tom Hiddleston, Harry Lloyd, Eddie Redmayne, Henry Faber and Harry Hadden-Paton are suddenly at the top of the list for casting directors on the most prestigious film and television projects.
This week Hiddleston, star of Steven Spielberg's War Horse, is in Wales filming Sir Richard Eyre's Henry IV, along with Faber and Lloyd,...

If there's a great British show that you're not watching, it's Garrow's Law. The show, which premiered on the BBC in 2009, is one of Acorn Media's best titles, alongside the genius Life on Mars and Single-Handed. The series has the unique conceit of being a legal drama set in the late 18th century, and centers upon barrister William Garrow, a real historical figure who coined the term "innocent until proven guilty." The series portrays Garrow as a legal revolutionary who begins to change the way trials are held in England through his new perspective and practice of persuading juries. The second series of the show arrives on DVD from Acorn Media August 2.

"Garrow's Law" is a BBC production with one of those oddly designed schedules somewhere between a miniseries and an actual series. It's had two series thus far, each composed of four one-hour episodes. A third series is slated to air sometime this year over in yonder British land, while the first series is currently running on PBS. It's airing on Sunday nights after Masterpiece Theater, which is broadcasting a sequel to the original "Upstairs, Downstairs" if you just can't get enough BBC period drama on your Sunday nights.
Set in eighteenth century London, the show is nominally a legal procedural. The protagonist is the titular Garrow, a young barrister who seeks to inject justice into a system fraught with injustice. Garrow is arrogant, self-righteous, and seems to think that justice could be done with just the proper amount of indignant yelling. And faster than you can retort "I can handle the truth just fine,...

You look at the cover to New Tricks, and you think that it's going to be a dark police drama with a bit of lightheartedness stemming from the main characters. It's like hundreds of other shows you've seen, you think. Seen the cover, seen the show, right?
That's what I thought, at least, but I was entirely wrong. I popped the DVD into my player, and after skipping through the Acorn Media ads I've seen a thousand (hyperbolic) times, I was shocked by a twangy country theme song that played over the main menu. The show's theme song.
The rest of the series continued to surprise, with hardly a gritty moment permeating throughout the show's entire first episode. Sure, it involves the death of a woman who had been secretly involved in pornography, but the episode takes all of the weight from itself by having Alun Armstrong's character getting...

Sometimes the most exciting settings of television lie not in the future, but in the past.
You hardly see the eighteenth century portrayed on television anymore. That's a shame, because some of history's most exciting times happened in that time period. Many of these events have been overshadowed by the importance of the American revolution, but perhaps one figure that was overlooked was William Garrow, a barrister who changed the face of the British legal system permanently.
That's where Garrow's Law comes in. The British series, which just saw the release of its first series on U.S. DVD Tuesday, is certainly one of the most engrossing shows I've gotten from Acorn Media. The four hour-long episodes are quite engrossing, both in the trials themselves and the fascinatingly hot-headed Garrow, who is a genius when he's not shooting himself in the foot.
The supporting cast are all brilliant as well...

After notching up impressive performances on stage and on TV, Lyndsey Marshal is hitting the big time – thanks to Clint Eastwood
When Lyndsey Marshal told her mum she was going to be in a play about climate change at the National theatre, she wasn't impressed. "She said, 'Oh God, I can't think of anything more boring,'" Marshal says. "I knew what she meant. There's nothing worse than people working all day, and then coming to the theatre to watch that."
From this week, however, that's exactly what large numbers of people will be doing, if all goes according to plan for Greenland. Four writers – Moira Buffini, Penelope Skinner, Matt Charman and Jack Thorne – have spent six months researching issues thrown up by climate change. The result is a series of interconnected stories for a cast of 15: Thorne's concerns a man who has been counting guillemots in Alaska since the 1970s; Charman's story,...

Here are the gongs they didn't give out on the night
In France, the Césars honour the best of French cinema; in Spain, the Goyas do so for their Spanish counterpart; and in Germany, the Lolas do likewise for German films. In the UK, we do things differently: the Baftas celebrate achievements in film regardless of national origin, making them uncomfortably similar to, and highly predictive of, the Oscars.
Which is all very well, unless you are British film-maker or actor who would, quite frankly, enjoy your moment in the spotlight once in while. Hence last night's British independent film awards, which have emerged over their 12 years of existence as the premier event celebrating British film.
The organisers of the Bifas would probably acknowledge that their awards are only as good as the British movies produced in any given year. Ever so slightly embarrassing, in other words, when a picture...
