Happy Birthday, Neville Longbottom!!

Click to view full size image

Today, July 30th, marks Neville Longbottom’s 32nd birthday! As we all know Neville was a key player in the defeat of the Dark Lord in 1998. Neville lead the rebellion of the students in his Seventh year at Hogwarts and pulled Gryffindor’s Sword from the Sorting Hat to behead Voldemort’s Final horcrux, Nagini. After the Battle of Hogwarts, Neville became an Auror for a short time.

Currently Neville is married to Hannah Abbott (of Hufflepuff) and is the Herbology Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Neville’s creator, J.K. Rowling has this to say:

I love Neville. I love Neville so much. Always loved Neville. And I always had big plans for Neville, you know? And he really was The Boy It Could’ve Been, because as you know, as I made clear, he was born hours before Harry, he was born on the 30th of July, Voldemort singled him out as the other possibility. But the great thing about Neville’s story for me, the over-arching story about Neville, is that he proves himself to be a boy who could’ve done it too. Yeah, Harry had the scar and arguably, Harry had an edge more talent because Harry– he has an extraordinary instinct for the right thing to do. He’s just got the right instinct, and that’s what would make him, in due course, a phenomenal Auror. But Neville was, I think, amazing in the final battle, and proved himself a hundred times over worthy of being a Gryffindor, his parents’ son, despite the very difficult childhood he had in the hands of his very pushy grandmother, and I know, she loves him and he loves her, but she’s not an easy person to be raised by. So yeah, so that for me, was the big thing about Neville. x

New Photo and Article on ‘Wasteland’

The Wasteland Official Facebook has been updated with a new behind the scenes photo of Matthew Lewis and Luke Treadaway during filming, that photo may be seen in the gallery. Additionally, ScreenDaily has posted a new article about Matthew Lewis’ new film, Wasteland. Some snippets may be read below.

The film, pitched as akin to Ocean’s 11 on a Northern Council Estate, is about four best friends who hatch a heist plan to better their lives.

The lads are played by Luke Treadaway, Iwan Rheon, Gerard Kearns, and Matthew Lewis; with Timothy Spall as a police interrogator, Vanessa Kirby as the love interest and Neil Maskell as a local thug.

[…]

It won’t be the typical heist film. Pritchard explains: “People are hugely worried about clichés, if it’s a Northern gritty heist film. But this is something different. The humanity up here is fantastic and Rowan knows that better than anyone almost…People that read the script saw that.”

He adds: “You’ll like the characters and that’s vital. Their plan isn’t legal but their reasons are fairly honourable. Also,  there are no guns in the film, which is something we said right from the beginning.

[…]

Treadaway says the four actors at the core of the film have worked extremely well together. “We’re a right little gang.  It’s nice to do a film with guys the same age, and it’s a group of lads that don’t have egos.” Athale agrees: “We’ve been lucky all very different people and all differnet to their characters but they are working very very supportively and there is no ego between them.”

[…]

Matthew Lewis notes that it’s ultimately “a redemption film, about friendship and loyalty. They are good guys, they aren’t thugs.”

Finally, I’ve added another new photo from Matthew’s publicity shoot to the gallery.
