Matthew Lewis (aka Neville Longbottom) went to see “The Cursed Child” and what he said will hit you in the feels
It’s one of our favorite things when the worlds of Harry Potter collide, which is why we’re loving the fact that Neville Longbottom (aka Matthew Lewis) absolutely LOVED The Cursed Child.
Now, Lewis isn’t the first Potter alumnus to head down to London’s West End to catch the eighth instalment of J.K. Rowling’s popular wizarding phenomenon. In fact, we’ve been blessed with pics of the two Hermiones, Emma Watson and Noma Dumezweni, together.
Not only that, but Rupert Grint, aka Ron Weasley, also dropped by the show, which opened in London in July. It was literally the definition of #futureselfgoals.
Well, now Neville Longbottom has also seen the stage show and he had some pretty emotional things to say about it.
Taking to Instagram, the actor offered his congratulations to the cast and crew of the show. Then Lewis got hella deep and it’ll totally make you feel things.
"To be in the movies was a dream come true but it became work and I forgot what it was to be a fan a long time ago," he said. "However, over the last two nights I was able to enjoy the world of Harry Potter once again."
"To lose myself in a story so rich and so powerful and, more importantly, that I had nothing to do with was truly magical," he continued. "I felt like I was nine years old again, discovering it all for the first time and it is very, very special."
Okay, we’re actually getting pretty emotional about this. As Lewis says, it must have been a pretty weird but wonderful experience being in the Potter films, so it must be a pretty amazing experience to return to it a few years later as a fan.
In fact, that’s not the only amazing thing that Matthew Lewis has been up to on Instagram.
The actor, who is currently starring in Amazon Prime’s Ripper Street recently supported J.K. Rowling’s charity Lumos, and he also hung out with Millie Bobby Brown, too.
Amazing.
It was recently announced that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child would be extending it’s West End run through to 2018.
Tickets for the latest run go on sale November 22nd. While no U.S. run for the play has been confirmed, it’s heavily rumored that the The Cursed Child could be coming Broadway in 2017.
In the meantime, we guess we’ll have to just wait to see the play or buy plane tickets to London…
