Video: Matthew Lewis Interview at HP Exhibition

Thanks to our lovely friends at FeltBeats, who were able to attend the press event in Germany yesterday, we got a few questions to Matt who answered them for us. So thank you to Sandra for sending over the videos you see below [they are both the same, just different angles] and for asking our questions. She asked Matt the following (my questions are bolded)

What do you think keeps bringing fans back to Potter and these experiences after all this time? What is your favorite part about attending events?

Do you have plans to crack the US market like some of your Potter costars? Or are there upcoming projects you can tell us about?

You’ve been traveling a lot for work lately, where is one place you really want to visit on your time off?

Who would you have wanted to play Neville’s Grandmother in the series?

Having been in a band, would you ever like to play a guitarist in a film? Perhaps a biopic? Or maybe record a song with the other Potter actors who are musically inclined?

What one current actor would you love to work with?

Have you heard of the verb “longbottomed” which refers to kids who start out awkward-looking and then get hot when they are older?

He mentions he might try staying with Tom Felton and find some jobs in LA. And teases what he was just filming for BBC in Guadalupe and will be returning to South Africa for Bluestone 42. When asked about his travel destination of choice he says New York and New England because of all the seasons. As for playing a guitarist in a film, he says he would love to play John Lennon since he is a huge fan of the Beatles.

We have also added over 100 pictures of Matthew from Sandra to the gallery! If you have any you wish to share please send them to webmiss[at]magical-menagerie.com and we will post them with a credit to you in the gallery!

Press Roundup: Matt Lewis in Cologne, Germany

Matthew Lewis is in Cologne, Gemrany from today until October 3rd. In this post we will be rounding up all the general news articles on his promotion for Harry Potter: The Exhibition. We should hopefully have some video to share soon from our other fan site friends who were able to go. Links as well as some rough translations from articles may be read below. This post will be updated throughout the next few days so keep checking back.

Photos from the events will be uploaded to this gallery album as they appear online. If you have any photos to share please send them in and we’ll post them with a credit to you under the photo.

Even the cloak of sombre Professor Snape is. “When Alan Rickman was the wearing and through the scenes, he was terrifying,” is Matthew Lewis aka Neville Longbottom recalls. “But when you talked to him, he was the kindest in the world.

For Matthew Lewis, the Gryffindor sword is the most amazing exhibit. “I’ve got it here for the first time in years seen. This brings me lots of memories instantly awake as I had in the final scene in the last film, as I have since with Lord Voldemort, with Ralph Fiennes filmed. Neville was a fantastic role!”

“I have taken Neville’s costume of the final Battle. This blue cardigan with all the blood on it. And also the fake teeth I had to wear.” He wanted to take something from the exhibit: the sword of Gryffindor. “I wanted to take it, but I couldn’t. But now I have seen again it here in the exhibition for the first time since filming.” Though he remembers with pleasure the time as Neville, however, to watch the movies is a torture: “I hate it. I have seen every film once, at the premiere.”

Besides, it has been the role of underestimated, slightly overweight Neville Longbottom not at all – for which Matthew Lewis had to wear a fatsuit, by the way, as he got older – which is a little unpleasant for him now. “I do not like to see myself as a child. It is embarrassing for me. But there will always be a part of Neville in me. I have grown with him and was very similar to him as a child: clumsy, plump and shy. I have become adult like the character. We have gone on this trip practically together.”

“As a child I always wanted to play a soldier. I have made this in the BBC series ‘Bluestone 42’ now. Now, therefore, I would love to play James Bond. It will never happen, but it would be cool.”

Photos: Matthew Plays in David Holmes Cricket Cup

Photos from the 2014 David Holmes Cricket Cup have appeared online. Matthew Lewis played on Team Gryffindor with team captain Bradley James (best known to many as Arthur in the BBC series Merlin.) The David Holmes Cricket Cup began in the summer of 2009 to raise money for the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) after David, a stuntman for the Potter films, was critically injured and left paralyzed. Since then, each summer, the event has been hosted for David’s family and friends, where the two teams, Gryffindor and Slytherin, have battled it out for the trophy and continued to raise money for the RNOH.

This year the final score was Gryffindor 97/10 and Slytherin 104/4. £7,780 was raised and split between the RNOH and Spinal Research.

Video: Matt Lewis Reads Fan Fiction at Edinburgh Festival

Last night, Matthew Lewis along with BBC Radio 1’s Scott Mills and Chris Stark, read aloud some Harry Potter fan fiction at the Edinburgh Festival. Matthew and Chris had no idea what they were walking into but Scott had planned the whole scene. Watch below as poor Matthew has to do some unthinkable things in a cloak. Parents: Use caution, there are some VERY adult themes in this video.

We did take some screenshots of the “performance,” but for Matthew’s sake we will only be posting video. Not sure which is worse, but it is our job to report, so forgive us, Matt!
