Matthew Lewis didn’t need a seat booked on the Hogwarts Express to return to J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world.

The actor, who played Neville Longbottom in the eight Harry Potter films, saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in London over the weekend, and posted his enthusiastic (or, should we say, spellbound) review of the play on Instagram.

Lewis isn’t the first member of the Harry Potter films’ cast to take in the two-part play by Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne. Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Bonnie Wright, and Helena Bonham-Carter have all seen the show — but Daniel Radcliffe, who played The Boy Who Lived, has said it might be a while before he joins them.

“I want to see the show, I am genuinely intrigued and I hear it’s fantastic,” Radcliffe said over the summer. “I just feel like sitting in an audience that will, for the most part of the near future, be very enthusiastic Harry Potter fans might not be a … relaxing way to see a show. So, I guess, not for the time being.”
