Hey folks!  Thanks to LadyLongbottom we have a new interview with Matt! I’ll add it to the press archive when I get out of work, just doing a quick post.

The 20-year-old star said: “(The) RAF was if acting didn’t work out, was definitely a course I was looking at in life.” He added: “They (the RAF) invited me to come along as a guest one year to the Air Tattoo and they have invited me every year since.”

Matthew said he was “looking forward” to filming the seventh and final book in the series, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, which is being split into two parts for the big screen. “I’ve just gone back to read Deathly Hallows again, I mean I read it last year, but I have just read it again and I forgot the stuff that Neville really has to do. It’s really bizarre reading it and having your future mapped out in these stories ahead of time,” he said.

I’m at my internship now so I cannot upload photos of Matt at the Polish premiere and photocall until I am done, so probably an hour and a half or so! Sorry! *quickly leaves before boss comes back ;)*

The Irish Film and Television Network has a new article online about when Matt and Evanna went to the Irish premiere of Half-Blood Prince! I have added it to the press archive as well.  The article states that Matt will be filming Deathly Hallows starting in October.

Matthew Lewis has appeared in all of the Harry Potter films as the nervous and somewhat ‘academically-challenged’ Neville Longbottom. He was only 12 years old when filming of the first film ‘Harry potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ commenced and, when asked if he finds it hard to watch himself at that age, the 20 year old actor gives this reply: “I don’t do that, not at all. I can’t – it’s a very bizarre! It’s not something I like looking back on, that shy little boy, it’s weird – you know people saying he is endearing and sweet – I don’t like that at all! I had this terrible high pitched voice and I can hear it at Christmas when my parents are playing it downstairs, every Christmas without fail.”
