Publicist signs up Harry Potter star

A YOUNG Yorkshire publicist has clinched a big signing by adding Harry Potter star Matthew Lewis to his books.

Multitude Media, run by Will Wood, 23, was taken on by the Leeds-born actor after representing a string of up-and-coming comedians.

Mr Lewis, above, is best-known for his role as Neville Longbottom in the film series. The penultimate film in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I, premiered last week.

Mr Wood, who has also worked with football website Goal.com, said: "We're delighted to be working with Matthew who already has a great profile and who is beginning to plan for the next phase of his career."

It capped a good year for Multitude Media, which was set up November 2008. In October, the firm worked for Manchester Comedy Festival, which featured 200 shows in 34 venues, double its previous highest tally. Multitude also took 21 acts to the Edinburgh Comedy Festival.

Mr Wood, from Leeds, said: "A sign of our increasing profile as a company is the number of new clients we are working with, which sits alongside our excellent retention rate which is what I'd like us to be judged on."
