You may know him as Gregory Goyle — that Slytherin who got roofied via laced cupcake.

So what would you say if we told you Draco Malfoy's stout sidekick in "Harry Potter" is now literally side kicking other people?

Here is Goyle today.

His real name is Josh Herdman, and he made his debut as an MMA fighter this past weekend.

He's now virtually unrecognizable, trained in Japanese jiujitsu and even has a black belt. 

But don't worry — he says he's still got a passion for acting.

But unlike his Hogwarts days, don't plan on seeing him break up a fight anytime soon.
