In a new interview with the NZ Herald News, Matthew Lewis mentions filming Deathly Hallows and how they did it Lord of the Rings style as well as Helena Bonham Carter’s Bellatrix.
Similarly, to ensure cinematic continuity, director David Yates – who previously helmed Half-Blood Prince and Order of the Phoenix – was re-enlisted for both parts of Deathly Hallows. That decision became a life-saver during filming, says Matt Lewis, who plays Neville Longbottom.
“Not only was it a really long shoot, it was also really tricky because we didn’t film them back to back,” he reveals. “We shot them simultaneously, like Lord of the Rings, so it got really confusing. If we didn’t have such a good crew and David directing us, it could have got completely out of control because the schedule for the last year was crazy. I literally don’t know what film each scene was in, or how they fit together. But we all just buckled down because it’s the last one and we wanted to make it as memorable and epic as possible.”
“She really enjoys getting into her part,” smirks Lewis, recalling a scene he shared with her in Order of the Phoenix. “She was holding me hostage and I remember she turned to the director and said; ‘Wouldn’t it be quite fitting – and sinister – if she started to really enjoy torturing him?’ Then she started playing with her wand, before sticking the tip in my ear, teasingly. There were lots of explosions going off around us and somehow it suddenly went straight into my ear, about an inch! It actually ruptured my eardrum and hurt like hell – I couldn’t hear a thing for a week – but it looked great on camera!”
Yahoo! has released a new behind the scenes video for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that includes interviews with Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, David Yates, David Barron, and David Heyman.

“If you could have befriended one character in real life, who would it have been?” After some thought,
Matthew Lewis: “Probably Ron Weasley. He’s a funny guy who always has a laugh and says it like it is. A bit like Rupert Grint!”
