Diary of a Wimpy Kid Wiki

Harry Gilbertson (known as Tayler Murphy in the online book) is a kindergartner who participated in the Winter Talent Show during the events of Rodrick Rules. He is played by Spencer Drever in the book's movie adaptation.

When Greg Heffley and Scotty Douglas became the only ones to not qualify in the Talent Show, Greg remarks how although their performance wasn't spectacular, Harry's act was worse despite being qualified because his performance only consists of him roller-skating figure eights around a boombox playing "Yankee Doodle Dandy". (Yankee Doodle in the online book) [2] Harry is paired up with Löded Diper as one of the last acts to perform. [3] He ends up winning the prize for "Best Musical Act".[4]

In the film, he was performing individually.

Trivia[]

  • It's possible that the online version of Harry, Taylor Murphy, is related to Albert Murphy, a student who also appears in Rodrick Rules, as they have the same last name.
    • However, this is unlikely, as Taylor Murphy is only named as such in the online book, while Albert Murphy only appears in the official version of the books.
  • Tyler was his original name in his first appearance in the online book before being changed in his next appearance.[5]
