In 1999, castings were held across the UK for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone , the film adaptation of British author J. K. Rowling's novel. Lewis, a fan of the series, initially attended an open audition at the Queens Hotel, Leeds, before being contacted two months later to perform a screen test for director Chris Columbus, eventually earning the role of Neville Longbottom. [10] Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was released in 2001 and became a critical and commercial hit. [11] For the role, Lewis wore a set of false teeth, shoes two sizes too big, a fat suit and ear prosthetics.

During filming, co-star Helena Bonham Carter accidentally ruptured Lewis' eardrum when she stuck her wand in his ear during a scene. [16] Lewis commented on enjoying the "diverse nature" of his role in the film which contained more "emotion and drama" than its predecessors. [17] Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince became the second-highest-grossing film of 2009.

Rowling gave a speech at the premiere of Deathly Hallows – Part 2 in London, where she stated that there were seven major cast members in the series, whom she referred to as "The Big Seven" (Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Tom Felton, Lewis, Evanna Lynch and Bonnie Wright).

[32] [33] Bustle noted that "Lewis' role is one mostly of comedic relief" but the actor "plays the character's outrage perfectly"; Lewis stated he was careful not to make the role a "laughed-off villain, but a fully-formed character." [34] That same year, Lewis reoccurred in two BBC productions, crime dramas Ripper Street and Happy Valley . [35] [36] He starred alongside Niamh Cusack in the London premiere of Unfaithful, written by playwright Owen McCafferty, from August to October 2016.

[43] Lewis appeared in the Yorkshire-set television series All Creatures Great and Small , which aired on Channel 5 in 2020 to high ratings and critical acclaim. [44] [45] The New York Times referred to Lewis' portrayal as a "dashing suitor" who achieved the character's "natural confidence [..] incredibly well."

Throughout the series, Neville is often portrayed as a bumbling and disorganised character, and a rather mediocre student, though he is highly gifted at Herbology. However, the character's personality appears to undergo a transition after he joins Dumbledore's Army in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The encouragement he receives gives him confidence in his magical abilities, turning him into a more competent wizard. Eventually, Neville becomes the leader of Dumbledore's Army during Harry, Ron and Hermione's absence searching for Horcruxes. Neville is instrumental in the downfall of Lord Voldemort and eventually destroys the final Horcrux, which allows Harry to defeat The Dark Lord once and for all. Neville is portrayed in the film adaptations by Matthew Lewis.
