Video: Matthew Lewis Interview at HP Exhibition

Thanks to our lovely friends at FeltBeats, who were able to attend the press event in Germany yesterday, we got a few questions to Matt who answered them for us. So thank you to Sandra for sending over the videos you see below [they are both the same, just different angles] and for asking our questions. She asked Matt the following (my questions are bolded)

  1. What do you think keeps bringing fans back to Potter and these experiences after all this time? What is your favorite part about attending events?
  2. Do you have plans to crack the US market like some of your Potter costars? Or are there upcoming projects you can tell us about?
  3. You’ve been traveling a lot for work lately, where is one place you really want to visit on your time off?
  4. Who would you have wanted to play Neville’s Grandmother in the series?
  5. Having been in a band, would you ever like to play a guitarist in a film? Perhaps a biopic? Or maybe record a song with the other Potter actors who are musically inclined?
  6. What one current actor would you love to work with?
  7. Have you heard of the verb “longbottomed” which refers to kids who start out awkward-looking and then get hot when they are older?

He mentions he might try staying with Tom Felton and find some jobs in LA. And teases what he was just filming for BBC in Guadalupe and will be returning to South Africa for Bluestone 42. When asked about his travel destination of choice he says New York and New England because of all the seasons. As for playing a guitarist in a film, he says he would love to play John Lennon since he is a huge fan of the Beatles.

We have also added over 100 pictures of Matthew from Sandra to the gallery! If you have any you wish to share please send them to webmiss[at]magical-menagerie.com and we will post them with a credit to you in the gallery!

Video: Matthew Lewis Participates in ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

Most of you will have heard of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge by now, but if you have not, here’s a bit of background.

“Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease,” is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain & the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord & from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate & control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed.”

To help raise money for the ALS research celebrities and regular folk alike have been taking videos of themselves pouring buckets of ice water on themselves and nominating 3 more people to take on the challenge. If they do not accept, nominees are supposed to donate $100 to the ALS, but everyone is encouraged to donate even if they participate.

The US ALS Association is accepting donations here and the UK’s Motor Neurone Disease Association is taking donations via its website as well as on Just Giving. You can also text ICED55 and the amount you wish to donate to 70070.

If you take the challenge, use the hashtags #icebucketchallenge, #alsicebucketchallenge, and #strikeoutals!

Matthew has been nominated a few times and finally responded with his video:

Video: Matt Lewis Reads Fan Fiction at Edinburgh Festival

Last night, Matthew Lewis along with BBC Radio 1’s Scott Mills and Chris Stark, read aloud some Harry Potter fan fiction at the Edinburgh Festival.  Matthew and Chris had no idea what they were walking into but Scott had planned the whole scene.  Watch below as poor Matthew has to do some unthinkable things in a cloak.  Parents: Use caution, there are some VERY adult themes in this video.

We did take some screenshots of the “performance,” but for Matthew’s sake we will only be posting video. Not sure which is worse, but it is our job to report, so forgive us, Matt!

Video: Matt Lewis Accepting Best Fandom Forever Award

Earlier today we reported that Matt Lewis was going to accept the Best Fandom Forever award for Harry Potter at the MTVu Fandom Awards. Now we have the video of his appearance. Matthew sent in a video clip, just as we predicted, which may be watched below. We will update with an official video, if one becomes available, since this was just recorded off the TV and isn’t perfect.

UPDATE: Here is the official video:
