It turns out Harry Potter’s Colin Creevey is a photographer in real life

Remember him?

It feels like just yesterday that we had our first read through of the Harry Potter books. The magical book-and-film series, which turns 20 this year, has captivated fans across the globe since it was first published in 1997. And there were plenty of memorable characters moving in and out of Hogwarts throughout the seven-book series. But none of them were quite as memorable as the muggle-born wizard Colin Creevey. The budding photographer was the Boy Who Lived’s biggest fan (possibly) ever. He followed the golden trio around and couldn’t stop taking pictures of Harry after he was first introduced in the Chamber of Secrets. But it turns out the Gryffindor favourite is all grown up - and a photographer in the muddle world, too. Hugh Mitchell, now 27, describes himself as an “outdoor photography enthusiast” on his social media profiles. https://www.instagram.com/p/BXQ9NJNFiip/?taken-by=hughmitchellphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/BW0ZMiuFSEi/?taken-by=hughmitchellphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/BWf6XOXFPHV/?taken-by=hughmitchellphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/BWxaSWiFg8H/?taken-by=hughmitchellphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/BWkzO-NlcWa/?taken-by=hughmitchellphoto The child star went on to appear in a number of films after his debut in the world of Hogwarts.
