Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint have long battled for the title of hottest Potter star. But now, with the end of this beloved franchise just days away, a new player has swooped in looks to have taken the title.
It's Matthew Lewis, aka Hogwarts super nerd Neville Longbottom!
We've all watched the cast grow up before our eyes, becoming dashing young men and elegant ladies, but Lewis was standing out at the New York premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
Rocking a sleek suit, some sexy stubble and much hipper haircut than his big-screen counterpart, Lewis wowed the crowd and his newfound hotness did not go unnoticed on Twitter.
As klg0845 put it: "OK. Who knew Matthew Lewis would turn out to be THE hottie of the cast." But how did Lewis himself take the news?
"Wow, that's very lovely. No, I'm not embarrassed entirely," he said. "I'm about the colour of this carpet I imagined right now."
Even if the fabled franchise is coming to an end, nothing's better than going out with a smokin' hot bang.
