In a new interview with Digital Spy, Matthew talks about what it’s like being known for The Syndicate rather than Harry Potter. The final episode of The Syndicate will be airing tomorrow night at 9pm on BBC1, but I’m sure they will be re-airing the show more after that, so be sure to check your local listings.
“I had a couple of people stop me last week and ask ‘Are you in The Syndicate?’ rather than Harry Potter,” he told Digital Spy. “It’s been the first time I’ve ever been stopped and the person hasn’t asked about Potter. That’s a new experience and I didn’t think that would happen so quickly. I don’t want to act as if Harry Potter wasn’t the most amazing thing because it truly was, but it’s also great personally that I’m starting to see signs that I can move on from it and do other stuff that hopefully people enjoy.”
However, Lewis commented that fans of The Syndicate have not always taken to troubled character Jamie Bradley. “People seem to have really taken to the program, which is fantastic,” he said. “Most people aren’t too fond of my character Jamie, though, and they¹ve let me know… If I’m honest, Neville is clearly the better person but Jamie is a lot more fun to play.”
