Matthew Lewis – Neville Longbottom
Who could forget Matthew Lewis’s portrayal of the timid, clumsy, and buck-toothed Neville Longbottom? From the nervous Gryffindor who misplaced his toad to the hero who beheaded Nagini, his transformation since we first saw him in 2001’s “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” was short of spellbinding.
The world did a collective double-take as Matthew emerged from his cocoon. Dubbed the “glow-up of the century” by fans, his change was so pronounced it’s often humorously referred to as “Longbottoming.” Outside the wizarding world, Matthew has acted in projects like “Ripper Street” and “Girlfriends.” Off the screen, he’s an avid rugby fan.
