‘Look who’s in’: Harry Potter star makes surprise visit to Leeds pub
‘Look who's in 🪄’
A film star best known for his role in the Harry Potter series was spotted in a Leeds pub earlier this week.
Matthew Lewis, who played Neville Longbottom in the eight-film series, visited the Old Peacock on Elland Road last Sunday (September 20).
Posting on Instagram, the Leeds United-themed pub next to the Whites’ home ground published an image of Mr Lewis posing with bar staff, along with the caption: “Look who's in the Old Peacock - Matthew Lewis, Neville Longbottom from Harry Potter! 🪄”
The pub recently opened its new Kaiser Lounge, a dedicated matchday mezzanine with its own bar.
Matthew Lewis was born in Horsforth and was educated at St Mary’s Menston Catholic Voluntary Academy.
A well-known Leeds United supporter, he briefly hosted the podcast “Doing a Leeds” with former footballer Jermaine Beckford.
Lewis began acting at age 5 and was cast as Neville Longbottom in 1999. He played the role in eight films from 2001 to 2011.
