Today we have a guest post from Chris at BuyHarryPotterCostumes.com where he goes through some of, what he thinks are, the best Voldemort quotes from the films thus far. I thought this was fitting since we are a couple weeks away from the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II. So without further ado, I give you Voldemort’s Top 10 Quotes. (Make sure to post your favorites from the books or films in the comments!) More
Hero Complex has posted a new interview with Matthew Lewis where he discusses the Potter series and Neville Longbottom. A snippet from the interview may be read below.
NC: He seems like more of a Hufflepuff when you first meet him. In the final film, does he get to have his Gryffindor moment. It’s that weird thing that Jo [J.K. Rowling] did when she wrote the character. Everyone was sort of thinking, “Well, why is he in Gryffindor?” And it just shows that you don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to be a Brad Pitt look-alike hero just to be courageous and help out your friends and come through when it really matters. I think everyone can sort of relate to that in some way, particularly back to people’s school days. Like, I wasn’t on the football team at school or whatever, but it doesn’t matter. You can still make a difference. … He’s watching Harry. He’s learned from Harry. They’re very similar people in terms of what’s happened to them in their past, and I think he got a lot of inspiration from Harry, particularly in films 5 and 6. And now he’s stepped into that role while Harry’s been away, and he’s really stepped up to the plate. He’s changed a lot. He’s come a long way.
Earlier today Rupert Grint along with James and Oliver Phelps attended an event in Madrid. You can see some photos at Rupert-Grint.us. They also took part in an online chat which you can read in full here! You can also see some videos from the event here!
Matthew Lewis recently spoke to Digital Spy about the Harry Potter films and how he was never sure he’d be back for the next film.
“I originally signed on for one film, with an option on the second,” Lewis recalled. “We didn’t know where it was going to go. After the first two were made, I signed the same deal for number three with an option to do number four. Then nothing came through after number four. We didn’t sign up for five and six – we just didn’t hear anything for a while.There was a bit of speculation on whether they were going to do a fifth one or not.”
Lewis, who celebrates his 22nd birthday today, confessed that he worried that his changing appearance would ensure that he was replaced as the Gryffindor student. “I’d changed quite dramatically in myself – I was wearing a fat suit by this time, I was slimmer and taller than Dan [Radcliffe] and Rupert [Grint],” he said. “So I thought if they were going to recast, they might recast me, because I don’t look like Neville anymore. But they didn’t, thank God, and went ahead with film five and asked us all back. They made the fat suit bigger and found other ways of making me look a bit more Neville-ish. I guess I owe them for sticking with me!”
As part of their collaboration with Sparkle, James and Oliver Phelps shot a video while at their photoshoot for Empire magazine with Matthew Lewis. You can view the scans and photos from the issue in the gallery and watch the video below:
