This afternoon we have received the official press release and a couple new photos of Matthew Lewis at the Media Opening for Harry Potter: The Exhibition in Sydney, Australia. The full press release, which includes ticket pricing and more, may be read here and a bunch of photos of Matthew at the event may be seen at Matthew-Lewis.com. (The 2 new photos will be added to that album shortly, I’m waiting for them to send back High Resolution versions.)

Yesterday, Harry Potter film star Matthew Lewis, who played Neville Longbottom throughout the film series, was joined by hundreds of Harry Potter fans at the Powerhouse Museum to celebrate Harry Potter: The Exhibition coming to Sydney on 19 November 2011. Providing the audience with a sneak peek of the exhibition, Lewis revealed iconic film props and costumes including the Flying Ford Anglia, the Bloody Baron’s costume and a never-before-seen Death Eater costume.

Tickets are on sale now for Harry Potter: The Exhibition, showing exclusively at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, beginning on 19 November 2011 through to 18 March 2012.
