Today Matthew Lewis talked to BBC Radio Devon about filming the Harry Potter movies. You can listen to the interview below and read a transcript in the press archive.
BBC: It’s the final film we’ll see this year. How do you feel about that, because ultimately this is the end of an era for you, isn’t it?
Matthew: It was a strange feeling on the last day. It was very, very surreal, actually. I don’t really remember much of it. But it was a big scene that we shot. There were loads of cast members in it, lots of extras and hundreds of people on the set. And then when it finished it was just a couple of us that looked around and all Hogwarts was destroyed and reduced to rubble. It was really odd. So empty. But I wasn’t that sad. I knew that I’d be seeing everyone again for premieres . I wasn’t sad because I was just so proud of what we’d done. I never thought when I was 11 years old that I’d be talking to BBC Radio Devon about the eight film that we’ve made. I’m 21 years old. It’s just been a pleasure and I’ve just felt so proud of everyone. We got through them all. We made them all and did the best that we could.
