My Leeds Interviews Matthew Lewis About Harry Potter, Leeds & More

My Leeds has released a new interview with Matthew Lewis where he discusses how Harry Potter changed his life, Leeds and more! The 4 page interview may be seen here! There are also two new photos included in the issue!

I will type up a transcript later today! If you would like to do the transcript for me, please send it to webmiss[at]magical-menagerie[dot]com!

Update: Thanks to Jen we have a transcript of the interview that you can read in the press archive! You can also view two new photos here in the gallery!

What was the best part of the Harry Potter experience?
Matt: The things I learnt and the people I was around. I picked up so much. I learnt much more than I would have at university. Dan Radcliffe is great too, he doesn’t get as much credit as he deserves from his peers. If you saw him on set, how hard he works… I’ve never seen anyone work as hard as that. He’s got a great energy to be around. We’re good friends.

What do you put your success down to? Is it all hard work?
Matt: You’ve no idea how lazy I am! Any success is 100% because of the people I have around me. My friends and family, mum and dad, were amazing. And I couldn’t have hoped for a better cast and director.

How do you deal with the success?
Matt: The success blags my head a little. With the last film, I was nervous because I’d always been in the background. And suddenly I had a much more prominent role. It was pretty nerve-wracking. Then it came out and the reviews were amazing. It was very overwhelming and I didn’t anticipate it.

Neville Longbottom Featured in Total Film’s 50 Greatest Harry Potter Scenes

Total Film Magazine has posted their list of the 50 Greatest Harry Potter Scenes and one of the top 10 moments is Neville’s finest hour! Some other Neville related moments are also on the list and they may all be read below:

7. Neville and Nagini

The Scene: Neville Longbottom destroys Lord Voldemort’s last remaining Horcrux, swinging the sword of Gryffindor to behead the hideous serpent, Nagini.
The Awesome: Neville has been growing into his role as unlikely badass as the saga has progressed, and this is the point at which he graduates to full-on hero status. Well done that man!

15. The boggart

The Scene: Harry’s defence against the dark arts class is treated to an encounter with a boggart, a strange creature that takes the form of its victim’s worst fear. Understandably, Neville’s is the fearsome Professor Snape…
The Awesome: The Riddikulus charm treats us to a glimpse of Snape dressed up as Neville’s elderly grandmother. What a fetching hat!

36. The Department of Mysteries

The Scene: Harry and his friends become embroiled in a battle with the Death Eaters in the Department of Mysteries. Just as things are looking grim, the Order of the Phoenix arrive to turn the tide, but at a cost… the life of Sirius Black.
The Awesome: The critical blow is dealt by Bellatrix Lestrange, whose gleeful reaction only serves to make the moment more shocking.

43. The Yule Ball

The Scene: Hermione arrives for the Yule Ball in a stunning pink dress, leaving Harry and Ron gobsmacked by her glamorous makeover. To make things worse for Ron, international Quidditch star Viktor Krum is on hand to share the first dance…
The Awesome: Amid all the wand-waving and spell-casting, it can be easy to forget that our heroes are still teenagers, with all the hormonal angst that goes with it. This scene taps into that side of things nicely!
