Harry Potter actor Matthew Lewis rages after claiming he was kicked out of first class into economy on flight

An actor who appeared in the Harry Potter films has kicked off at an airline after he claimed he was kicked out of first class on a flight and bumped down to economy. Matthew Lewis, who played Neville Longbottom in the films, was on his way to a fan convention in Canada.

He claimed on Twitter that his first class ticket was torn up at the gate at Orlando International Airport in the USA, reports the Mirror. He vented his frustration by tweeting: "Confirmed. @AirCanada is the worst airline in North America. And that’s saying something."

In replies to other Twitter users, Matthew, 33, said: "Kicking me out of first class to back of plane is what it is but doing it at the gate. Literally tearing my ticket up. No explanation other than 'full flight'."
