I'd be lying if I told you I didn't immediately drop everything else and click. But when I did, the shortened link didn't take me to a news article about upcoming adventure Harry Potter and the Last Thestral— it took me to the gov.uk page which allows people in the U.K. to register to vote in the country's next general election.

Yep: basically, if you want to vote in the general election on Dec. 12, the deadline to register is 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 26. Like many other celebrities and people across social media, Lewis was simply reminding people not to miss the deadline.

Lewis' tweet has since been shared over 11,000 times. How many house points does that equate to?

Oh, Neville. You deserve allthe points.
