Videos: Matthew Lewis in ‘Into Film’ Featurettes
Last December Matt Lewis visited a school in Leeds to talk about film with Into Film. Into Film is an organization that gives every child and young person aged 5 to 19 in the UK the chance to experience film creatively. After the visit, one of their young reporters got some time with Matthew and did a Harry Potter quiz and another video getting to know Matthew himself.
In this first video he has to answer Harry Potter quiz questions. Matthew does a pretty great job at guessing who said what line and in what film.
The next video Matthew answers questions about himself, filming and gives advice to his younger self.
Video: Matt Lewis at Press Q&A During Celebration of Harry Potter
Last week we shared our photos from last weekend’s Celebration of Harry Potter. We were also able to take part in a press Q&A session with the four cast members on Friday evening. Unfortunately our live video got a little messed up after we finished streaming (view the 30 minutes that were posted here.) Fortunately for you, there’s plenty of other footage. Watch the full press conference below thanks to The DIS.
There isn’t much new information in the video, since most press ask the same questions every year. Matthew does share what advice he would give to his younger self and talks a bit about his passions outside of acting (aka: rugby league.)
(Near the beginning of the video you can see Matt acknowledging our owner Megan.)
