Matthew Lewis Talks Potter with Radio Times
In the latest issue of Radio Times, they interview a bunch of Potter stars including Matthew Lewis. See a scan from the issue in the gallery! In the article, he says:
I was a huge fan of the books. My mum always reminds me of the time I begged: “If they make a film, will you take me to see it?” Little did I dream I would be in it!
“In the first couple of films, I looked like Neville was supposed to. But when it came to the third film, I suddenly got taller and slimmer, so they had to make me geekier. I had a fat suit and false teeth. I tried to be professional about it but I was 15 and on set with girls – there were definitely times I wished I were a more macho character! In this last film, we’ve got rid of the fat suit and Neville has some really cool action scenes. Playing the hero is definitely something I could get used to.”

New Matthew Lewis Interview
RedEye has posted up a new interview they had with Matthew Lewis. In the interview he talks mostly about Neville and Harry Potter but also talks about some other topics. Read the full interview here or in the press archive.
Where were you when you first heard or read that Neville was going to be such a big deal in this last movie?
I was in bed, where I usually am. I’m quite lazy, you see, as I’ve just been in bed there. I was in bed and I was reading the book, and it was one of those things … like, I’d get a new book and I’d just, I’d wake up and I’d read them all day, in bed, and I just wouldn’t get up until I finished them. And that’s what I was doing. And J.K. Rowling had told me a few years previously that she’d just finished the book and that she’d written this amazing bit for Neville Longbottom. And she wouldn’t tell me what it is, but that it was going to be good. So then I read the book and was just totally blown away by it, really. It was amazing, really. I read it as a fan first, as I always do, you know, I read it as a fan and got lost in the whole world, and then all of a sudden, when you turn half a page, and you think, “Wow.” And you go back and you look at it and you go, “Jeez, that’s going to be incredible.”
