He's famed for playing hapless yet lovable character Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter film franchise.

But it seems actor Matthew Lewis is far luckier in the romance department than his bumbling alter-ego since the 27-year-old star has got engaged to his girlfriend Angela Jones.

The British star proposed to events planner Angela Jones last month after a whirlwind relationship, just four months after her divorce from her first husband was finalised, TMZ reports.

The website shared a picture of the pair in which Angela is proudly displaying her dazzling diamond engagement ring in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, where Matthew reportedly proposed.

Matthew first met Angela at a Wizarding World event at Universal Studios in Orlando in January, where she works.

A spokesman confirmed the news to MailOnline and said: 'They're both over the moon. They got together in July and hit it off straight away.'

The star has kept his love life under the radar over the years and his romance with Angela played out away from the spotlight

Meanwhile, Matthew recently confessed he felt like he was 'nine years old' when he saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

The star saw the West End production last month and found the two-part play transported him back to being a fan of author J.K. Rowling's wizarding series.

Sharing a picture of himself and some of the cast from the play, he wrote on Instagram: 'A giant congratulations and an even bigger thank you to these guys and the rest of the cast of #CursedChild.

'To be in the movies was a dream come true but it became work and I forgot what it was to be a fan a long time ago.

'However, over the last two nights I was able to enjoy the world of 'Harry Potter' once again. To lose myself in a story so rich and so powerful and, more importantly, that I had nothing to do with was truly magical.

'I felt like I was nine years old again, discovering it all for the first time and it is very, very special.'

Matthew played Potter's pal Neville from 2001 until 2011, but shocked fans with his dramatic transformation in his early 20s.

In time for the final film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II, which was released in 2011, the actor was flattered when people were starting to realise he didn't look like nerdy Neville anymore.

Matthew made quite an impact at the world premiere, and reflecting on the spectacle he told Attitude magazine: 'I was 21, I was like "yeah, this'll be cool!" It was never meant to be a "hey everyone, look at me!" but it was nice to be able to go and be myself.

'And then obviously a lot of attention focused on it, which I didn't expect at all. I've never considered myself to be good-looking at all. Just average.'
