Matthew Lewis Talks to Empire about Deathly Hallows Part II
Empire magazine have released a new video and text interview with Matthew Lewis where he discusses Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II. You can read the text interview at the previous link or in the press archive. Some snippets as well as the video are below.
You’ve said before in interviews that Neville’s seen carrying a dead body.
Yeah, that’s right. I mean, because Neville is the leader he’s determined to act like one so he’s always on the frontlines. I think he feels responsible for every student that dies because he knows that he’s the one putting them out there. But it was a challenge. I really hope they keep it in because it really shows Neville at his best. There’s all this fun stuff where Neville’s very adrenalised and on autopilot. But that bit brings him back down to Earth for a minute. And I really hope they keep it in.
We didn’t really see Neville much in Part 1. But Part 2 is, judging by the books, his finest hour.
I felt quite lucky to have been in Part One, to be honest, because the character’s not actually in the book until the end. But, you know, David said he wanted to stick him in just to remind people what was going on back at school. And it was just nice to have been in, because it means I was in all eight films even if it was only for one line!
Oliver Phelps Talks Matt and Neville in New Interview
In a new interview with Empire, Oliver Phelps briefly touches on Matthew Lewis and his character Neville Longbottom.
The way that Rowling wrote the final battle, you don’t quite know how it’s going to go, and it seems like there will be surprises for everyone there.
Especially when it all goes the wrong way! When the good guys are falling by the wayside and when you see that in the picture itself it looks really harsh. There are some cool elements in it, like when you see Matt Lewis in the battle. That’s quite funny because, again, you see a totally different side to his character [Neville Longbottom]. I think you see every character in a different light, which is great.
When we were photographing some of you guys today, it was clear that there’s a genuine friendship between you all.
There is! We’ve been together for 10 years, so we’re going to form these bonds with people. Especially at the time when you’re all together, you’re growing up and discovering who you are, so through that you have common interests, like with Rupert [Grint] especially. It’s just how you see it in the films really; we all take the mick out of each other and hang out with each other. The same with Matt [Lewis] and Tom [Felton]: with Matt, we went to see The Doves just before Christmas and it was a really good night out. And we play golf with Tom. There’s a cool mix of people who we still talk to and see outside of filming.
