Actor Matthew Lewis, who played Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter films, recently revealed which character he’d like to play in the upcoming series reboot.Speaking at a Harry Potter panel at MegaCon in Orlando, Florida, on Feb. 4, Lewis said Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Remus Lupin would be his choice. “The character I enjoyed was Professor Lupin,” the actor said via People, after noting that he was “too old to play Neville again” and based his choice “purely on when I read the books.” Lewis then paid tribute to “the incomparable David Thewlis,” who brought the character to life on-screen, adding that he “could never be beaten” for his portrayal of a werewolf. “If I were to have a go… that would be one that I’d do.”Warner Bros. Television chairperson Channing Dungey previously described casting for the Harry Potter series as challenging. “The tricky part is the first two books [The Philosopher’s Stone and The Chamber of Secrets], where the kids are on the younger end, around 11 or 12,” she explained. As such, the process requires an almost flawless decision as the cast will grow with their characters, as seen in the films.
