Yahoo News Tom Felton tries but fails to convert Matthew Lewis into a Slytherin in iconic Harry Potter reunion photo
Harry Potter fans were left feeling very nostalgic after Tom Felton attempted to convert Matthew Lewis into a Slytherin but failed miserably during a reunion night out.
Despite the final instalment of the magical franchise wrapping up over seven years ago, Felton is yet to give up on converting his co-star into a Slytherin.
The 30-year-old actor, best known for his role as Draco Malfoy, was pictured looking rather unimpressed as he pushed a Slytherin rucksack against Lewis’ chest.
Felton hit out at Lewis, jokingly hailing him a “gryffindork”, for staying committed to Longbottom’s house in the films.
See how close he was to converting.... @mattdavelewis #gryffindork

He captioned the image: “See how close he was to converting.... @mattdavelewis #gryffindork.”
However, 29-year-old Lewis, better known as Neville Longbottom, was far from willing as he looked on into the distance.
Take your Slytherin paws off me, you damn dirty ape! @t22felton

Posting his own version of the snap, looking disgusted, Lewis fought back: “Take your Slytherin paws off me, you damn dirty ape! @t22felton.”
Lewis later added: “I can’t even go for a pint without you hounding me. Can’t you have an Adidas bag like regular folk!?! #Gryfforthewin.”
Fans were sent into a frenzy over the images, which sparked a debate over which side Lewis should be on.
