Thanks to Maria we have some new photos of Matthew Lewis at the London press day for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II that took place on July 5th! You can see the new photos in high resolution in the gallery, enjoy!
EXCLUSIVE Video and Photo: Matthew Switching on Ilkley Lights
Today I can post a brand new, high resolution, photo of Matthew while he was switching on the Ilkley Lights, view that in the gallery. We also have an amazing video from the event which shows Santa introducing Matthew, then Matthew making a speech and finally turning on the lights! There is also a short interview at the end, where Matt talks about The Syndicate and an unnamed film, which we can assume is Wasteland.
Thanks very much to Mark, who was invited by the organizers to film and photograph the event, for sharing his footage with us!
David Yates Talks Neville Longbottom
This past weekend SnitchSeeker had the chance to interview director David Yates, and in that interview he briefly talked about Neville Longbottom, who, as we all know, is played by the wonderful Matthew Lewis.
SnitchSeeker: Neville’s speech – was that in the original script? Because it’s not in the books, so how did it add to that scene against Voldemort in the courtyard?
Yates: It’s Neville’s Henry V moment. Neville’s opportunity to talk about the fact that they had something that they were fighting for other than just … you know, Voldemort is a character who just inspires terror in people. That’s why everyone likes it when they don’t think he can beat Harry. They don’t stay out of loyalty, they stay out of fear. And Neville expresses the fact that they’re all there because they care for each other and they support each other out of love. That’s what his speech is about, basically. And, again, we developed that to express that point. And I like a good speech (laughs).
Video: Matthew’s Favorite Line as Neville
Fans have helped get another video released from Harry Potter: The Quest. You can watch the video, which was filmed at the London press conference in July, below! You can see Matthew’s favorite line starting at 55 seconds. Try to guess what it is before you watch and see if you’re right!
