Neville Longbottom Is Probably A Bigger 'Stranger Things' Fan Than You

Neville + Eleven = our new favorite BFFs.

Neville Longbottom just took his “Stranger Things” fandom to a new level.

Matthew Lewis, who plays the “Harry Potter” character, posted a selfie with Millie Bobby Brown, aka Eleven on the Netflix series, and jokingly revealed that her character was the inspiration behind his “XI” tattoo.

“A lot of people ask what my tattoo means. Now you know. @milliebobby_brown #XI #Eleven,” Lewis wrote in the caption.

As it turns out, though, Lewis has had the tattoo for a while. Back in 2008, during Dragon Con, the actor revealed it actually represented his “football squad number.

“It was on my mind for ages what to get so I said why not get that because it’s always going to be my squad number, it’s never going to change, I still play football so yeah.”

In our hearts, it will always be for Eleven from “Stranger Things,” even if the timing makes no sense.
