Matthew Lewis Plays A Hilarious Game Of "Would You Rather"

    Things got a little, erm, weird.

    We all know Matthew Lewis as the beloved Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter franchise.

    But we're about to see a lot more of him in the latest series of Victorian crime drama Ripper Street, in which he plays Desk Sergeant Samuel Drummond.

    So in honour of his new show, BuzzFeedUK decided to play a game of "Would You Rather" with him, tying in Ripper Street, and of course Harry Potter. And things got kind of strange....

    We decided to start the game by getting straight in there with this one. Would you rather live a normal length life now in modern times or live in Victorian times forever?

    Then we eased him into it by getting to know him some more. Next up: Would you rather sing like Adele or play football like David Beckham? His answers were pretty humorous.

    Would you rather drink a gallon of ketchup or a gallon of mayonnaise?

    Then we went in on the Harry Potter theme. Would he rather be a pro golf player or have Alan Rickman's voice? He didn't miss a beat.

    When asked if he would rather be a rat for 13 years or be in Azkaban for 13 years he wasn't impressed by his options.

    Then we tied in some Victorian themes and we're pretty sure he thought we were crazy. Would he rather have lived as Queen Victoria or as Dumbledore?

    But it was a pleasure to see him laugh so much.

    Once he laughed that one off we gave him the option to have Hedwig or a police horse as a pet.

    If you always wanted to know whether he'd want to be better at spells or potions, here's your answer:

    Then things got a bit harder and he answered like a pro. Would you forever live in Ripper Street or the Chamber of Secrets?

    And he gave an excellently thought out answer for this one. Would you rather attend a grand Victorian ball or the Quidditch World Cup?

    By this point he had no time for silly questions like this. Would you rather be a dog named killer or a cat named Fluffy?

    So we got a bit out of control and asked the ultimate Harry Potter/Ripper Street crossover question. Would you rather be a Slytherin or Jack the Ripper?

    We did say things got a little bit weird.

    He was probably relieved when we got back to normal-ish questions. Would you rather be a member of the Dursley family or the Malfoy family?

    When we gave him the option to go about his normal day naked or sleep for a year he was in two minds.

    And finally this one proved the most difficult. Would you rather be itchy for the rest of your life or sticky for the rest of your life?

    He well and truly thought through his options. "That's an impossible question. I hate both of those feelings. I think sticky you can kind of start to forget about it. Oh I don't know because then sticky's going to affect other people. But then they'll think you've got scabies or something if you're scratching all the time. How do you explain being sticky permanently, what do you say that is? All kinds of shit's going through people's minds for both of those. See, I'm thinking about other people at all times." But ultimately he went with sticky: "Erm... sticky. Ew, gross."

    Sorry to have put you through that, Matthew. And thank you for playing along!

    That smile 💙
