Born in London, England, Harry Eden began his acting career after seeing a performance of the stage musical Oliver!.

Harry made his feature film debut in Pure (2002), winning a 2004 British Independent Film award as Most Promising Newcomer for his lead performance portraying a young boy trying to cope with his mother's heroin addiction. A supporting role as Nibs, one of the Lost Boys in Peter Pan (2003), followed. The same year, he filmed a lead role as a 12-year-old boy who tries to save his comatose sister in The Lazarus Child.
