A Harry Potter star has raked in almost £175,000 flogging videos to Hogwarts fans.
Actor James Phelps has done it despite no longer resembling the schoolboy wizard he played.
The now 38-year-old admits that he’s “best known” for playing the mischievous Fred Weasley in the hit films.
This was a role that he occupied alongside his twin brother Oliver Phelps for the entirety of the series from 2001 to 2011.

Fred was very much known as part of a red-haired double act.
But now without the ginger locks and sidekick George, even the most avid Harry Potter fan may struggle to recognise James these days.
But despite the movies ending over a decade ago, and James attaining few acting credits since then, he’s charging fans £99 a pop for a personalised video on Cameo.
He’s proven himself to be a total hit on the website and has a staggering 1,763 reviews, which have equated to an impressive 4.99-star rating,

Assuming that the actor charged £99 a video every time, this means that he’s earned around £174,537.
Delivering the videos in a timely 24 hours, James will provide various video types including birthday greetings, pep talks, advice, and roasts.
With an average video length of one minute and 23 seconds, James can be seen in videos congratulating people on occasions like weddings and birthdays.
