Matthew Lewis is a British actor who gained popularity as a child, playing Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter film series. Although people remember him primarily as Neville, Matthew Lewis did not become an actor in one role, and the list of films with his participation is becoming more impressive.
Biography
Matthew was born on June 27, 1989. The actor's family was large (he turned out to be the third child). The Lewis lived in a city called Leeds, but after the birth of their youngest child, they moved to Horsford. It is noteworthy that the Matthew brothers also chose an acting career.
Education and further training
Matthew Lewis studied at St. Mary's Catholic Voluntary Academy in Manston. He did not continue his studies, deciding to go to work in cinema and theater.
First work in the cinema
Mother and father constantly took Matthew to auditions, like his brothers. By the age of five, Lewis began appearing in episodes of popular television shows. Amusing is the fact that Lewis was among the few actors who read not only the script, but also the Harry Potter books. Matthew Lewis' parents often talked about how their youngest son loved to play magic.
Lewis first appeared on the screen in the TV series "This is called life," which happened in 1995. Then the actor was barely five years old. Surprisingly, most of Matthew's roles remain dramatic.
Harry Potter movies
Until now, it is the role of Neville Longbottom that remains the largest and most memorable for the already famous actor. Few actors, with the exception of those who had the lead roles, managed to take part in the filming of all eight films.
The filming process is not complete without incidents. The Harry Potter films are no exception. The Order of the Phoenix was the most traumatic for Matthew. His eardrum was damaged with a magic wand. For several days, Lewis did not hear anything with one ear, but everything returned to normal quickly enough, and therefore could not disrupt the shooting of the film.
If you wander through the Harry Potter fan forums, you will notice that many fans of the series did not take Neville seriously for most of the films. Everything was changed by unexpected changes in the appearance of Matthew Lewis: from a small and awkward boy, he became not just an adult, but one of the models of male beauty according to the fans of the series.
This has especially influenced the character of Matthew in the latest films - in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", where Neville Longbottom was shown as a brave and selfless, a real Gryffindor.

In 2016, all melodrama lovers discussed "Me Before You", where Matthew got the role of Patrick.
Personal life
