He may have played the adolescent goofball Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter series, but actor Matthew Lewis grew up to be quite a dashing man. But, that doesn't mean J.K. Rowling was ready for his nearly-nude pics.
The author was caught off-guard today when Attitude magazine tweeted its latest cover, featuring Lewis. Rowling, ever the entertaining Twitter user, couldn't help but address the news. "Not as bad as watching Dan in Equus, but close," she wrote, referring to Daniel Radcliffe's nude onstage role.

And, of course, the author gave one of her epic this-conversation-is-over replies. "I will always support you whatever you want to do, Matthew. Now go put some clothes on."
