In an interview with Fandango, Matthew Lewis dicusses Neville’s role in the Harry Potter films as well as his career and much more, some of this was already released with other set visits, but some is new. The full interview can be read at the previous link or in the press archive!
Q. Does Neville receive a full makeover to show that he’s been fighting?
Lewis : Yes. This is only half of what we’ve got to come. A lot of stuff we’ve been doing has involved about another pint of blood more than this. The first week, it was really enjoyable. The novelty has definitely worn off. [To get the] the full thing on – a headpiece as well – it took two hours for the first few weeks. We’ve knocked it down to about an hour and a quarter now.Q. When did you find out Neville was going bigger places?
Lewis : I found out when I finished [Order of the Phoenix]. I went to the bus stop in the morning and talked to my best mate. He said, “It’s good, isn’t it? You’re gonna have some wicked stuff to do!” I said, “Yeah, I can’t wait!”Q. What would you be doing if not acting?
Lewis : Sitting on the sofa, watching TV. I’ve honestly no idea. From the age of 5, I’ve not wanted to be anything else. I’d probably be in the Army or something.
