News has been a bit slow lately so today I thought I would bring back some old news by posting this video interview from back in 2010. This interview was done in Seattle back in August 2010 when he was there to promote Harry Potter: The Exhibition. He talks about Neville and how his life was affected by the films. I also uncovered a few new photos from that event which you can see in the gallery! Enjoy!
Throwback: Matthew Lewis Visits Football Museum of San Paulo in 2010

The two brand new photos may be seen in the gallery!
How was the work routine and day to day when you worked in the studios Leavensdale in London. The atmosphere was boarding even as his colleagues described the site?
In a way. We ate, studied and did everything together. In ten years, we became a family like any other, with our inside jokes, our possible discussions. Despite all harassment and safety, I was very happy there. I do not feel I lost my childhood, only that it had a different kind.The cast, you’re one of those who are considered true fans of JK Rowling’s books, including being an ambassador of the series in various events around the world. Do you consider yourself a member of the Harry Potter generation?
I tried to be an actor just because the series is already a fan of hers. I read the books when he was 8, 9 years old and for me it was very special to be part of something I have always admired the history and values that are in the book.
Matthew Talks The Syndicate with Digital Spy
In a new interview with Digital Spy, Matthew talks about what it’s like being known for The Syndicate rather than Harry Potter. The final episode of The Syndicate will be airing tomorrow night at 9pm on BBC1, but I’m sure they will be re-airing the show more after that, so be sure to check your local listings.
“I had a couple of people stop me last week and ask ‘Are you in The Syndicate?’ rather than Harry Potter,” he told Digital Spy. “It’s been the first time I’ve ever been stopped and the person hasn’t asked about Potter. That’s a new experience and I didn’t think that would happen so quickly. I don’t want to act as if Harry Potter wasn’t the most amazing thing because it truly was, but it’s also great personally that I’m starting to see signs that I can move on from it and do other stuff that hopefully people enjoy.”
However, Lewis commented that fans of The Syndicate have not always taken to troubled character Jamie Bradley. “People seem to have really taken to the program, which is fantastic,” he said. “Most people aren’t too fond of my character Jamie, though, and they¹ve let me know… If I’m honest, Neville is clearly the better person but Jamie is a lot more fun to play.”
