We have learned a little bit more about Neville’s role in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows via Magical-Menagerie.  If you don’t want spoilers, don’t continue reading this post.

It quickly turns sour thanks to news that the Ministry has fallen. Remus tells Harry to run, and in the next moment Hermione has Disapparated them away. There is a small scene of the Hogwarts Express, and Death Eaters searching it for Harry Potter. Neville Longbottom fans will love seeing him stand up to the Death Eaters the way he did: “Hey losers, Harry Potter isn’t here.”

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was screened in Chicago today and we finally have a report from Mugglenet that confirms Neville is in Part I!

• The Death Eater who stops the Hogwarts Express in the trailer is looking for Harry Potter. He meets resistance from Neville and other students that are aboard.

More news as it develops, and you can read lots more reviews of the film here!

As I posted last week, Matthew Lewis attended the National Railway Museum’s Wizard Weekend this past weekend in York, UK.  SnitchSeeker was lucky enough to attend the event and they have some photos from the event with an interview coming soon.  See the photos here in the gallery!

UPDATE: More photos have been added thanks to a Leaky Cauldron reader!

Blast Magazine has posted an article from when Matthew Lewis was in Seattle this past week.  The post comes complete with a high resolution photo of Matt that you may see in the gallery.

As an example of what would be on display in this exhibit, they brought out two of Lewis’s costumes, his Hogwarts uniform from the first movie (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone) and the outfit he wears in the upcoming movie (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1) during the ride to Hogwarts on the Hogwarts Express.

“It’s hard to believe I was that small,” Lewis said. Lewis also remarked that he’s spent nearly half his life in these types of costumes. When Lewis was asked about his favorite parts of the exhibit he said that the exhibit was “mad.” He couldn’t believe how many props and costumes they could take around with this exhibit.

As an aside he also told reporters about how the kids in the film were not allowed to play contact sports during filming, and how even though he wasn’t playing a contact sport he managed to still sprain his ankle playing badminton as a result he couldn’t shoot for a week.

Lewis went on to say those traits of Neville were more in the earlier films and that Neville has grown to be more courageous and “has got this amazing loyalty and big heart” which are traits he likes to believe he possesses, but he said “when push comes to shove I would probably run away.”

Finally he said if there was one prop that he could keep from the exhibit he said he would want his uniform robe from the very first film.

Thanks to the HarryPotterFilm Twitter, we have the first photo of Matthew at the Harry Potter: The Exhibition announcement in Seattle!  View it in High Resolution here in the gallery!
