The Harry Potter movie actors Matthew Lewis and Tom Felton continue to joke in-character on social media, even after all these years. The pair co-starred in the Boy Wizard’s adventures as his fellow Griffyndor Neville Longbottom - who loves plants, but is timid and often bullied by others - and Draco Malfoy, a Slytherin student and Harry’s nemesis. Of course, it’s been almost a decade since the last time Lewis and Felton brought their Wizarding World characters to life in 2011’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
Twitter user alice recently posted a screenshot from one of Lewis and Felton’s interactions on the former’s Instagram account recently, with the pair commenting in character on a photo of Lewis visiting The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park land. (“There’s a storm coming Harry” was, of course, a line spoken by Hagrid and not Neville in Order of the Phoenix, but it’s a nitpick at best.) You can see it for yourselves in the space below.
Lewis and Felton have both gone on to lead pretty successful acting careers since their Harry Potter days, with the former starring in TV series like Ripper Street and Felton appearing in movies like Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Belle (not to mention, his guest role on season 3 of The Flash TV show). Even so, it’s good to see the pair still look back fondly on their time studying the art of magic at Hogwarts and growing up in the Wizarding World. There’s always a chance the pair could return to their roles one day, should Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - an official Wizarding World play that features a grown-up Draco and could easily be tweaked to incorporate Neville - be adapted into a movie. Failing that, fans still have playful interactions like this to go on.
The synopsis for the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play reads as follows: It was always difficult being Harry Potter, and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: Sometimes darkness comes from unexpected places.
