Photo: Lewis & Grint Attended Football Match

Posted by Lilysowl On January - 25 - 2010

Matt Lewis As usual, Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) typed his tweets about his passion…football–no, not the weekend games we see here in the States with helmets and shoulder pads, but the football where the foot continually touches the ball which we call “soccer” here. In fact, our webmistress was once known as a “soccer mom”. Anyway, Lewis surprised his fans and Rupert Grint’s (Ron Weasley) fans when he tweeted a photo of himself and Grint attending the Tottenham Spurs versus Leeds United football match this past Saturday:

Mattdavelewis Here we are, minutes before kick off @ White Hart Lane. Grint vs. Lewis. Spurs vs. Leeds. Come on Leeds!

Mattdavelewis One of the best Leeds games I’ve ever been to. Spurs 2-2 Leeds. What a match. Gonna get Rupe up to Elland Road for the replay. MOT.

Another Matt Lewis Interview From Boston

Posted by Lilysowl On October - 30 - 2009

Matt Lewis Since Harry Potter: The Exhibition can now be seen at the Museum of Science in Boston, the Wicked Local from Franklin, MA was at the special preview (which we reported here) and interviewed Matthew Lewis about the development of his Harry Potter character, Neville Longbottom. Here are a few of the questions:

Q: In most of the films so far, Neville Longbottom is a supporting character with limited appearances. How do you establish the character so he is memorable?

A: I’m always in contact with (director) David Yates, and we talk constantly about what Neville would be doing and feeling, even when he is in the background…This is something David Yates is keen about, not just with Neville Longbottom, but with all the characters, to keep the whole scene alive.

Q: As someone who was a fan of the books since childhood, is there anything in the movies so far that you wish were different?

A: I was a little upset when the scene in the book “Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix” wasn’t included where Neville goes to St. Mungo’s Hospital to see his parents (torture victims of Bellatrix Lestrange, follower of Lord Voldemort). That scene was so crucial to Neville’s character. But due to the length of the film, we had to cut that sequence.

Q: Some fans also have a crush on Neville and on you. Did you ever expect that?

A: Definitely not for myself, but I wouldn’t begrudge it. (Laughs.) It’s cool for a 20-year-old guy to have that. When I got into “Harry Potter” that was never really the aim.

Q: What can we expect from Neville in the next film (”Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, Part One,” to be released in 2010)?

A: I got the final script a few weeks ago. Neville has got a lot of stuff to do. The three main students (Harry, and friends Ron Weasley and Hermoine Grainger) have been away from Hogwarts, but Neville stays and takes charge of Dumbledore’s Army (which leads the charge against Voldemort and his forces.) He is leading an underground resistance. He gets beaten and is a bit bloodied.

Harry Potter’s Page was also invited to attend the event, along with other Harry Potter fansites. Although we could not be there physically to view the exhibit, Dijares asked me to participate in the roundtable discussion via online conference. I was pretty excited because I was going to have the opportunity to speak to the actor who portrayed Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter films as well as to the exhibit coordinators who were excited about re-creating a small portion of Harry’s world for us fans!
