His professional debut was Brothers of the Head, a feature film about conjoined twin brothers in a punk rock band. Harry played Tom Howe, and his brother Luke played Barry Howe.

Since graduating, he has taken on work such as Recovery for Tiger Aspect (playing the son of characters played by David Tennant and Sarah Parish) and as Mark Brogan on the Channel 4 series Cape Wrath (known as Meadowlands in America). In Control Harry plays Joy Division drummer Stephen Morris.
He has recently finished shooting the horror film The Calling, directed by Johnny Kevorkian from Minds Eye Films, and City of Ember, in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
