Tom Felton and Matthew Lewis are reviving Harry Potter fans' favorite rivalry.

On Tuesday, Aug. 27, Felton, 36, shared a selfie on Instagram of him and his Potter costar, Lewis, 35, posing with David Holmes, a stunt performer who worked on the fantasy movies, at a Hogwarts-themed charity cricket match, the David Holmes Cricket Cup.

"Who won 🦁 vs🐍 by 1 run? Bloody Longbottom 🏏," Felton, who played Slytherin student Draco Malfoy in the movies, wrote in a caption regarding the event, implying Lewis — who played Neville Longbottom — and his Gryffindor-led team won the match.


Holmes himself shared a video to Instagram on Tuesday detailing the 15th annual charity event, which was first organized after he was paralyzed from the chest down with a debilitating spinal injury after an on-set explosion during the filming of 2010's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 1.

"Over those 15 years, friends, family have gathered together in honor of just, me, which is amazing and raised money for charity, probably hundreds and thousands of pounds over the years," he said in the video, noting that Team Gryffindor now leads the annual event 8-7 after their win.

According to Holmes' video and a GoFundMe campaign for the event, this year's cricket match raised money for the Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Royal National Orthopedic Hospital in the U.K. Per the event, the latter hospital system treated Holmes after his accident and he has worked as an ambassador for the hospital since 2013. Felton, meanwhile, had worked with the latter children's charity since 2015.

The GoFundMe page also states that Felton has participated in seven of the 15 annual cricket matches, including the original event in 2009.

In November 2023, Lewis and Felton's costar, Daniel Radcliffe, collaborated with Holmes, who worked primarily as Radcliffe's stunt double on the Harry Potter films, to produce the HBO documentary David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived. The movie takes its title from the nickname applied to Harry Potter throughout the franchise.

Holmes previously shared an image of himself with Lewis and Felton at a past event in the annual cricket match in July and wrote that the event has raised over £100,000 for the U.K.'s Royal National Orthopedic Hospital over the years.

He also regularly shares photos and memories from his career as a stunt performer on Potter sets and elsewhere to Instagram, including a picture he posted in May of himself dressed up as Felton's stunt double for 2002's Chamber of Secrets.
