Dean Thomas from Harry Potter is now 27 and drop dead gorgeous

It was a whole 15 years ago since the first Harry Potter movie was released and a LOT has changed since then.

When squeaky voiced half-wizard Dean Thomas first hit the big screen he got sorted into Gryffindor. Dean was the adorable football-obsessed best mate of Seamus Finnigan (clue: the one who kept setting himself on fire) and he loved to hate Malfoy along with Harry, Hermione and Ron.

Later on in the series of films he joined Dumbledore's army and had a terrifying ordeal as He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named decided that they should be locked up with the key thrown away if they couldn't prove that they weren't muggle-born, a kind of ethnic cleansing for wizards.

Because Dean's dad had left when he was little, he couldn't prove that he wasn't muggle-born so he had to go on the run and it was terrifying

And yes, he is the guy who dated Ginny Weasley, much to Ron's dismay.

Since filming the Harry Potter series, actor Alfred Enoch, born in Westminster, has been very busy, well, acting.

You'd be forgiven for thinking you recognised a face in Broadchurch, Sherlock or How to Get Away with Murder.

Alfred's career has taken off since his HP days and, aged 27, he's totally slaying it.

And by the way, did we mention he's now UTTERLY GORGEOUS?

And just in case you wanted to see another picture...

And just one more...
