From the very beginning, Neville was a beloved character among the fans. As the star of the Harry Potter franchise, Matthew Lewis has delighted audiences with his portrayal of the endearing and kind-hearted Neville Longbottom. But even after all these years, there's one line from the series that Matthew can't stand, and it may come as a surprise to the fans.
In a recent interview with The Agency, the 34-year-old actor reflected on his time in the wizarding world, admitting that he hasn't rewatched the films because he's "very hyper critical" of himself. Despite this, fans still approach him and mention their favorite Neville quotes, such as "Why is it always me?" and "Oh my god, I've killed Harry Potter!"
But there's one line that Matthew detests, and that's the infamous "Oh my god, I've killed Harry Potter!" from the fourth film, The Goblet of Fire. He explains that he doesn't hate the line itself, but rather his delivery of it. In acting, he says, the most important thing is commitment, and he just couldn't believe in that line when he said it.
Despite his successful career after Harry Potter, including roles in shows like Bluestone 42 and Death In Paradise, Matthew admits that it's hard for him to watch himself on screen and he doesn't currently have the urge to return to the wizarding world. However, he also acknowledges that he would never say never to such an opportunity, as the series was a big part of his life and opened many doors for him.
One of his recent projects is the BBC comedy series Avoidance, where he plays Brett, a love rival to Romesh Ranganathan's character Jonathan. Matthew reveals that he was initially drawn to the show because of the involvement of Romesh and producer Michelle Farr, with whom he previously worked on Bluestone 42. While comedy may not come naturally to him, he thoroughly enjoyed filming Avoidance and hopes that the audience will find it as funny as he did.
Looking back at his career, Matthew emphasizes how unpredictable the entertainment industry can be, but he's grateful to still be a part of it after 30 years. And thanks to his role as Neville, he's in a fortunate position to choose the projects he wants to work on. For him, Avoidance was one of those projects that he wanted to be a part of and he hopes that audiences will enjoy it as much as he did.
In the end, Neville may always hold a special place in Matthew's heart, but he's excited for the future and the opportunities that lie ahead. As for the fans, they can continue to enjoy Neville's iconic lines and maybe even discover a new favorite in Avoidance.
