Photos: Matthew Plays in David Holmes Cricket Cup

Photos from the 2014 David Holmes Cricket Cup have appeared online. Matthew Lewis played on Team Gryffindor with team captain Bradley James (best known to many as Arthur in the BBC series Merlin.) The David Holmes Cricket Cup began in the summer of 2009 to raise money for the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) after David, a stuntman for the Potter films, was critically injured and left paralyzed. Since then, each summer, the event has been hosted for David’s family and friends, where the two teams, Gryffindor and Slytherin, have battled it out for the trophy and continued to raise money for the RNOH.

This year the final score was Gryffindor 97/10 and Slytherin 104/4. £7,780 was raised and split between the RNOH and Spinal Research.

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:

USA Fans: Watch Bluestone 42 & The Syndicate on Hulu

Some exciting news for Matthew fans in the USA today.  The first season of Bluestone 42 is available to watch on Hulu Plus.  Hulu Plus costs $7.99 a month but you get to watch numerous TV shows and movies for free, just like Netflix. Unfortunately, Matthew was not in the first season, but we expect they will be adding Season 2 soon enough, so you’ll want to catch up on the story before that happens.

Laughing in the face Danger. Follow the adventures of a team of soldiers who risk their lives diffusing hidden bombs. Who says they can’t have a little fun along the way?

A preview may be watched below:

You can also watch all 5 episodes of The Syndicate (Season 1) on Hulu, which Matthew starred in back in 2012. With this show anyone can watch, you don’t need to have Hulu Plus.  For those who have forgotten the plot of that show:

Threatened by the prospect of closure and redundancy, five employees of a local ‘Right Buy U’ are shocked to learn they have hit the jackpot. As wild celebrations and spending sprees ensue, reality quickly sinks in when new troubles surface for the winners. Joanna Page is single mother Leanne who worries how the win will affect her daughter, while Timothy Spall plays manager Bob, who is plagued with health problems that even money can’t solve..

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!
