Game Of Thrones Season 6: 10 Biggest Rumours Of 2016

4. Neville Longbottom Wants In

As the bumbling unsung hero of the Harry Potter universe, Neville Longbottom is probably the last person you'd expect to see alive in Game Of Thrones today. However, actor Matthew Lewis has moved on from his days of being a wizarding buffoon and is looking for a role in the series, calling in favours from high places to try and worm his way into Westeros. He told Yahoo TV: "I just worked with Emilia Clarke, she was like, €˜They€™re going to be doing some new casting.€™ I was like, €˜Right, well, why don€™t you tell them I€™m free and I can come and do it.€™ I€™ve seen a bit of the first season and a bit of the second, and I€™ve read all the books, so I€™m a big fan of the story. I€™d definitely jump at a chance to be involved in that. I€™d get to do my own accent, which is always nice, and it€™s fun. I know a few people on it and it sounds like the most amazing fun€”swords, shields, riding on horseback. What an era to throw yourself into!" He's keen, but he won't be appearing in Season 6.
