Matthew has answered another fan question on the Harry Potter Facebook page.
Matthew Lewis’s answer to Claire Blackburn’s question: “What was your favourite part of the Harry Potter experience?” Matthew tells us: “Being able to travel the world and meet some amazing people. I feel very privileged to have worked with some of the finest British actors, and to now consider some of them as friends is pretty special.”

Neville’s so heroic in the end, which is wonderful, so what’s your definition of a hero and who is your hero?
Well, the Leeds Rhinos [his favorite rugby team] were my heroes, last night! I don’t know if you caught the game; they were unbelievable. But no, my real definition of a hero is… obviously, all the people who are in the Middle East right now. You know, those guys are the heroes. I don’t personally know anybody who’s out there, but I know friends of friends that are and it’s shocking. It’s wholly shocking that in the twenty-first century, that sort of thing still goes on. Those guys are out there, doing a job, and they don’t wanna be there, but they are, and I think that’s courage and heroic.He’s also the only one that ends up teaching at Hogwarts. What do you think?
That’s right, he’s the Herbology teacher. That was kind of cool, because I can see Neville being that kind of teacher, who’s not very loud. I saw him, when he’s a teacher, as a sort of Slughorn teacher, I don’t know why. Not with all the celebrities and whatnot but a bit bumbling… but he obviously knew his subject more than anyone else. It’s kind of a nice end for Neville, because I don’t think he was good enough to go on and become an Auror, or whatever, but I think it was quite cool that he became a professor.Next summer all the fans are going to have to go through horrible Harry Potter withdrawal, which you have done this summer, so can you give us any hints on how to survive?
Ah, it’s all right, you know. It’s like when I was a huge fan of Star Wars. Even though films 4, 5 and 6 had come out long before I was born, when I finished Return of the Jedi, I was really gutted, like I didn’t know what to do. So I just watched them again and again. It didn’t matter to me that there weren’t any more coming out, I could just watch the whole of films 4, 5 and 6 again and again, so I guess that might help… but not if you want to get out of the house! I’ve quite enjoyed finishing Harry Potter. It’s sad that I don’t have a job anymore but I’ve enjoyed finishing it. Being able to play football again has been cool, as does auditioning for other stuff.
