He grew up in Chiswick, London and attended The Harrodian School from the ages of eight to eighteen where, in addition to the required courses.

Finn as a Graphic Designer
Finn has interested in Designing since long time ago, so he made a dribbble and his own website so someone will know him as a graphic designer. He designed his own website, tumblr and logo.

Finn as a Vlogger
In July 2011, his brother, Jack started his own YouTube channel, JacksGap as a way of documenting his gap year for his family and friends after finishing high school. When recounting how he began his YouTube channel, Jack explained, "The idea of connecting with an audience out of my bedroom just blew my mind – and I wanted to give it a go. I thought nobody would watch a random kid making movies, and for four months, nobody did. Then I put Finn in a video and the views suddenly shot up.” Jack appears in every video, while Finn appears intermittently and is responsible for the logo and branding for the channel.

Finn and Jack's videos have also featured other notable YouTube personalities, including Sam Pepper (OfficialSamPepper), Caspar Lee (DiCasp) and Tyler Oakley (TylerOakley), among others.

As of January 2013, JacksGap has over 900,000 subscribers and over 40 million video views. He also does a live broadcast on YouNow with Jack (almost) every Sunday, where he crashed the website on January 13th, because he had more than 30,000 viewers on Jack's YouNow. The channel's subscriber demographics are estimated to be 88% female, ranging in age from fourteen to seventeen. When describing the twins' sudden notoriety, Jack stated, "It’s pretty terrifying. We’re not celebrities and we don’t expect people to come up to us. We’ve had to sign autographs and be in photographs – it can be a bit overwhelming." In September 2012, the Harries twins were reportedly finalizing plans for a new smart phone app and social network, both based on JacksGap.

And Lately (1 February 2013) JacksGap hitted 1 million subsribers. Jack and Finn found out on their way to South Africa and they're surprised and so happy, they said thank you to all the subscribers and the viewers.
