Harry Potter. The film actor vs the book character. I want to describe one of Harry Potter books' character. This is Uncle Vernon. Uncle Vernon Dursley was Aunt Petunia's husband. He was a large, beefy man with little neck and a lot of mustache. He didn't like Harry Potter and hated magic. He had a big fists and he could use them against Harry when he was angry. Uncle Vernon had often bullied Harry because he had thought that Harry was abnormal. Harry Potter's untidy hair had always been a source of great annoyance to Uncle Vernon. When I was comparing to film actor on the book character, I thought Uncle Vernon in the film looked like Uncle Vernon in the book. Richard Griffiths played Uncle Vernon very good.
