HARRY POTTER STAR MATTHEW LEWIS REVEALS WHICH ICONIC NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM LINE HE HATES

Matthew Lewis admitted there is a line he "detests" in Harry Potter. The actor, who turns 35 today (June 27), is best known for his portrayal of Neville Longbottom in the iconic film series.

He played the beloved character in every film, making his debut in 2001's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and his final appearance in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, released 2011.

Matthew recently looked back at his time in the widely popular film franchise, revealing that more than two decades later, fans still approach him with their favourite Neville quotes.

Referencing the iconic line his character said in the second film, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Matthew told Metro: "'Why is it always me?' was always a popular one with Neville, because I guess that sums up his character a little bit."

But there is one that Matthew doesn't like as much, declaring: "Recently, I've noticed a lot of love for the, 'Oh my god, I've killed Harry Potter!' line, which I detest."

This was said by the Gryffindor student in the fourth film, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, after Harry (Danielle Radcliffe) entered an event in the Triwizard tournament.

He added: "I really hate that line. I don't hate it because of its writing. I mean, it's funny. I thought my delivery was... I just didn't commit to it."

The world of Harry Potter is set to be introduced to a new generation of fans as a TV series based on the seven books is due to hit Max in 2026.

"This new Max Original series will dive deep into each of the iconic books that fans have continued to enjoy for all of these years," said Casey Bloys Chairman and CEO, HBO & Max Content about the project.

Bloys said the series will run for "10 consecutive years," which he also assured fans would be "a faithful adaptation." Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling will serve as executive producer on the upcoming series.

When news of the project was announced, the 58-year-old said in a statement at the time: "Max's commitment to preserving the integrity of my books is important to me, and I'm looking forward to being part of this new adaptation which will allow for a degree of depth and detail only afforded by a long form television series."
