“I still, to a degree, get somewhat frustrated occasionally when people sort of say, ‘Oh, he is (Neville Longbottom)’. As an instance, I’m doing this show at the moment and a lot of the headlines are, ‘He’s no longer Neville Longbottom anymore’. It’s like, ‘I haven’t been that for 10 years. I have done things that have been so tremendously different,” Matthew Lewis explained in an interview about the “Inside Of You” podcast, reports by screenrant.com.

“Like, I’ve been in dramas that have won BAFTAs and completed all of this kind of stuff. I’m not bragging — it’s just like I’ve done all this stuff and like 10 years later it’s still like people are making the claim I’ve sort of jumped from Harry Potter into this and have entirely ignored the journey it’s taken to get there,” added the 31-year-old actor.

Matthew Lewis performed Neville Longbottom in all eight movies of the “Harry Potter” franchise, and rues the fact that he will probably not be known for doing anything else.

“That can be frustrating — not that I’m frustrated with anything to do with Harry Potter — but it’s like you have that voice in your head that goes, ‘Hey you know all that work you did for the previous 10 years, No one saw it. Nobody cares.’ They still believe this is the first job you’ve done since Harry Potter,” Matthew Lewis said.
