News has been a bit slow lately so today I thought I would bring back some old news by posting this video interview from back in 2010. This interview was done in Seattle back in August 2010 when he was there to promote Harry Potter: The Exhibition. He talks about Neville and how his life was affected by the films. I also uncovered a few new photos from that event which you can see in the gallery! Enjoy!
Old Extra Role in ‘Sharpe’s Justice’ Rediscovered
Thanks to a very eagle eyed reader we have identified which of the films in the Sharpe series Matthew appeared in as an extra. He was a young boy in the film Sharpe’s Justice starring Sean Bean in 1997. A couple screenshots may be seen in the gallery and a description of the movie is as follows:
Napoleon has been exiled to Elba, the English have returned from the wars, and Major Richard Sharpe finds himself in a sort of exile to lead a company of Yorkshire Yeomen. His duties include protecting mill owners from restless workers who are on the verge of strike or outright revolt. Meanwhile, Sharpe’s faithless wife and her lover fall within range of Sharpe’s wrath. Sharpe, with his two of his devoted Chosen Men nearby, must decide whether to continue to protect the mill owners or to take the side of their fiercely downtrodden workers.
The movie can be watched on YouTube in multiple parts (I won’t post the link because it probably isn’t supposed to be on YouTube, just search Sharpe’s Justice)
Thank you very much to Larysa!

How was the work routine and day to day when you worked in the studios Leavensdale in London. The atmosphere was boarding even as his colleagues described the site?
In a way. We ate, studied and did everything together. In ten years, we became a family like any other, with our inside jokes, our possible discussions. Despite all harassment and safety, I was very happy there. I do not feel I lost my childhood, only that it had a different kind.The cast, you’re one of those who are considered true fans of JK Rowling’s books, including being an ambassador of the series in various events around the world. Do you consider yourself a member of the Harry Potter generation?
I tried to be an actor just because the series is already a fan of hers. I read the books when he was 8, 9 years old and for me it was very special to be part of something I have always admired the history and values that are in the book.
