Matthew, you had a very intense scene with Ralph Fiennes. How did that go?
I remember reading it in the book and then in the script and it starts to get a bit more real each time. I thought “Wow, I’m actually gonna have to do this at some point.” We did a rehearsal for it and even in rehearsal Ralph was pretty intimidating. I thought ‘I don’t know how I’m going to do this when we get around to it tomorrow.’ He came on to set and he’s got the make-up on and the clothes; he’s just so good at what he does. He gets into Voldemort, he just encompasses everything evil. It’s so amazing to watch his charisma as he moves around the set. He just floats and glides around the set and it helps me as an actor unbelievably. Really got my adrenaline going. It was quite a privilege to work with him. He’s a really nice guy too, when he’s not being Voldemort.If you could take one prop as a souvenir away from Leavesden what would it be and why?
Definitely without a doubt the sword of Gryffindor. Two reasons, one because I’m a man and just having the sword is really cool, and two I spent a lot of time with it this year. It was quite integral in Neville’s story. It’s the sword that he pulls from the hat. I thought it’d be a very nice memento of the last year at Hogwarts.
