Matthew Lewis is not interested in his Harry Potter Role of Neville Longbottom.

The actor played the character in all eight films in the series based on the books by JK Rowling. Max is developing a television series that is set to premiere on the streamer in 2026. However, Lewis doesn’t seem particularly interested in returning to Hogwarts.

“It’s not something I want to watch or do, but I wouldn’t turn my nose up at it either,” Lewis said People“I would be very interested to see if Neville has a completely different aura as an adult. That could be interesting. I would definitely look into it and think about it.”

Lewis noted that he does not want to be part of the reboot because he enjoys doing other things.

“The reason I took this job in the first place was because I have a very short attention span,” he said. “I’m very, very bad at maintaining anything for long periods of time. I’ve had many, many hobbies and passions over the years. Not a single one of them I still do today. I fall madly in love with things and then forget them almost immediately.”

Lewis continued: “I’ve been a nurse, I’ve been a policeman, I’ve been a soldier, I’ve been a magician, I’ve been all these different things. I never know what’s coming next and I love that.”

Harry Potter Star Daniel Radcliffe recently said EHR! Message he is “very excited to watch (the series) as a viewer.”

The actor said he did not want to be part of the series, adding: “I think they very wisely want a clean break. And I don’t know if it would work if we did something in it.”
