Neville Longbottom One of TotalFilm’s 50 Greatest Harry POtter Characters

Neville Longbottom has made TotalFilm’s list of the 50 Greatest Harry Potter Characters. Neville comes in at lucky number 13 with the following information:

As Played By: Matthew Lewis

The Character: Having spent most of the early stories as the bumbling butt of everybody’s jokes, Neville really comes into his own as times grow darker, first as a willing and able member of Dumbledore’s Army, and finally as a key player in the Battle of Hogwarts. Wielding the sword of Gryffindor like a champ, it is he who takes out the serpent Nagini, destroying a fragment of Voldemort’s soul in the process.

Key Quote: (To Voldemort) “I’ll join you when hell freezes over.”

Matthew Talks Filming and Cutting of Scenes

Matthew recently spoke to The West Australia about filming the Harry Potter series and how he feels when his scenes in the films are cut. Read the full interview at the previous link or in the press archive.

“You sit there and read the book you go ‘That’s great’, you read the script you go ‘Wow it’s still in there’, and then you think ‘Will we shoot it’ and then you shoot it and you think well ‘That’s three out of four’ and it could end up on the cutting-room floor. But it is all in there. Even if it doesn’t make it into the film, I just like being on a film set and working, I like being busy. Half-Blood Prince was a hard shoot because I was in a lot of it but I was in the background and I only had four lines and only two made the film and that’s tough for any actor. You just have to take a step back and appreciate it and then when you get a film like this one, you just make sure you bloody enjoy it. I got to do everything this year, the action the drama, the humour again. It was great.”

TV Reminder: 50 Greatest Harry Potter Moments

Last month ITV asked fans to vote on their favorite moments. This is just a quick reminder for all you UK readers that Matthew will be appearing on ITV’s 50 Greatest Harry Potter Moments special which airs at 8pm tonight! I am not sure when/how long Matt will appear but he will be on the show. There were some Neville moments in the list, so hopefully they were chosen!

To mark the release two weeks ago of the eighth and final movie in the series, Robbie Coltrane narrates a countdown of the movie franchise’s best moments. From Harry’s first meeting with Ron and Hermione aboard the Hogwarts Express through to magical mysteries, spellbinding battles and tragic deaths, every key scene is here. Ralph Fiennes reveals the secrets of being Voldemort, Julie Walters discusses how the young cast grew into such confident adult performers and JK Rowling talks about seeing her words being brought to life on screen

For those of us not in the UK, I’m sure the video will make its way online at some point, so I will post it as soon as that happens.
