Matthew Lewis on the Possibility of Returning for the ‘Harry Potter’ TV Series: “Not in Any Rush”
Matthew Lewis on the Possibility of Returning for the ‘Harry Potter’ TV Series: “Not in Any Rush”-March 2024

Matthew Lewis is not in any rush to return to the Wizarding World amid the Harry PotterTV series currently in development.

The actor, who played Neville Longbottom throughout all eight Harry Potterfilms in the franchise, recently talked with People magazine about the idea of reprising his character for the Max reboot.

The reason I got into this job in the first place was because I have a very short attention span, Lewis explained during an event at the Harry Potter New York store. I am very, very poor at maintaining anything for any length of time. Ive had many, many hobbies and passions over the years. Not a single one do I still do. I fall madly in love with things and then almost immediately forget about them. However, if someone from the new Harry Potter show were to ask him to return, he said it wouldnt be an automatic no.

Its not something Im looking at or want to do but would not turn my nose up at, Lewis added. Id be very interested to see if it was Neville as an adult a whole different vibe. That could be interesting. I would certainly look at that and consider it.

Warner Bros. Discovery previously said the Harry Potter reboot is intended to run over 10 years, with seasons based on all of the books by controversial author J.K. Rowling. The first season is set to debut on Max in 2026.

Lewis isnt the only Harry Potter alum who isnt looking to make an appearance in the reboot. Last year, Harry himself, Daniel Radcliffe, told ComicBook.com that he didnt think it was time for his version of the Boy Who Lived to return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

My understanding is that theyre trying to very much start fresh, and Im sure whoever is making them will want to make their own mark on it and probably not want to have to figure outhow to get old Harry to cameoin this somewhere, he said at the time. So, Im definitely not seeking it out in any way.
