Update: Matthew No Longer Able to Attend Walk of Smiles

We have just received word from the organizers of the Walk of Smiles, a charity walk to benefit Bethany Hare’s charity Bethany’s Smile.  They have informed us that unfortunately Matthew is now unable to attend the Walk of Smiles on September 8th in Leeds due to commitments for Our Boys. Matthew sends his apologies to everyone and fans are still encouraged to attend the event to help raise money.

Registration opens at 10am at the Old Ball Pub in Horsforth when bacon sandwiches and drinks will be available.

The Walk will set off at 11.30am (suitable for all ages, pushchairs etc) and FREE refreshments will be available for all walkers at the half way point – Kirkstall Abbey Park, sponsored by Harrogate Spring Water and Batley’s Cash and Carry (look out for the Bethany’s Smile gazebo!)

On return to the Old Ball pub there will be a huge ‘after party’ and everyone in the community is invited (even if you don’t do the walk!!).  There will be a BBQ, Amazing entertainment, Raffle, Tombola, Certificates for all the walkers, prizes for the best outfits (everyone is encouraged to dress in either outfits to make people ‘Smile’ or lots of colour), bouncy castle, face painting plus lots more.

80% of the net profit raised on the day will be donated to Martin House Children’s Hospice and 20% will stay with Bethany’s Smile – supporting the care of children with life limiting and life threatening illnesses outside the hospice environment.

Audio: Matthew Lewis on BBC’s One on One

This afternoon Matthew Lewis was a guest on One on One with Liz Green where he discussed getting into acting, Harry Potter, watching himself act, friendships, living in Leeds and much more.  He also chooses some songs that they play during the hour.  The audio is now available on the BBC iPlayer, Matthew’s segment starts at 3:10.  If anyone would like to write a transcript for us, please do and send it in to webmiss[at]magical-menagerie[dot]com

Of note in the interview he mentions that he starts rehearsals for his new play, Our Boys, next week.  The play will run from October 3rd, with previews starting September 26th. He also teases something, possibly related to Wasteland, but says it’s a secret and he can’t share. He did say a trailer should be coming out soon, with the movie hopefully releasing by the end of this year.

He also promotes the song Our Time, by Chris Stocks, that is being sold to raise money for charity.  You can purchase the song on iTunes with all proceeds after iTunes commission to CANCER RESEARCH UK. There is also an accompanying video that you can watch on YouTube. The video was directed by his brother Anthony Lewis with cinematography by Chris Lewis and starring Bill Ward, Laura Carter & Sam Cunningham.
