Matthew Lewis, Tom Felton, and Bonnie Wright will be attending T4’s Stars of 2009 event at Earls Court in London on Sunday, November 29th. The event will be part-concert and part-talent show, for more information go here.
Another new video from the Half-Blood Prince DVD is now online! This clip is from when Matthew and Alfie Enoch introduce the “Stunt Training with Rupert” segment. Watch it below:
Matthew just updated his Twitter to let fans know that he is at a charity event called Concert for CARE right now, with Bonnie (Wright, I assume) and a friend Jodie. If photos from the event come online I will definitely be posting them, unless they are paparazzi shots.
At Concert for CARE, charity gig in London with Bonnie and Jodie. The rather wonderful Kaiser Chiefs and incredible Gary Barlow are playing.
Proceeds from the show will go to CARE international which is one of the largest international relief and humanitarian organizations in the world.
‘Concert for CARE’ is the brainchild of David Arnold, one of Britain’s most successful film and television composers and ambassador for CARE International (CARE). CARE works in 70 countries and helps 55 million people to find ways out of poverty each year.
There is a great new interview online with Matthew Lewis where he talks about Deathly Hallows!
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.
Q: Are you satisfied with the role he will play?
A: I think the fans are going to love it. Neville really comes through. He’s got this older demeanor. Nothing scares him anymore.
Last night Chris Rankin updated his Twitter account with some very very exciting news. He said:
in the hotel, excited for filming in the morrow, but not excited for the 5am wake-up call… 43 principal cast on set tomorrow…!
This is only an assumption but I, and many others, are guessing this means that the Battle of Hogwarts scene is being filmed! We also know via Twitter that Matthew Lewis, James and Oliver Phelps, and Warwick Davis are also on set this week! Matt had also mentioned the following on his twitter on Tuesday:
Well that was an awfully short day at work. Rest of the week won’t be as easy if this morning’s rehearsal was anything to go by. Love it.
Thanks to SnitchSeeker we have a lot of fun photos and information from the Harry Potter: The Exhibit press event that was held today. Head over to the Lewis Lovers gallery to see photos of Matthew at the event! Matt said the following at the event:
I was stunned. I’d heard about the exhibit in Chicago, but I had no idea about the size and scale. It was incredible and it was really wind-y and mazelike. You turn a corner and don’t know what to expect. It took me back to Leavesden when I was 11 and you’d walk into the Great Hall or Chamber of Secrets – it reminded me of that. When the door first opens and the Hogwarts Express is there – the kids’ll love it! What I hope is that they get to experience a little bit of what we do there (on set).
He also talked a bit about Deathly Hallows:
I got the script – fourth draft – of Part Two and I’ve no idea how we’re gonna do it. The scale of it is enormous. We’ve got some pretty incredible scenes to shoot.
I start next week. Neville is a bloody and battered resistance leader – a battle hardened veteran. A bit gung ho.
“I’ve definitely grown up with Neville, grown in confidence and maturity as the character has,” he said.
Lewis was 11 years old when he started playing Neville in the first Potter film. He’s now 20, and about to begin filming the final chapter in the series. When asked if he will miss playing Neville he said, “Absolutely, Neville’s been a huge part of my life. And not just the character, all the people, the studio, the cast and crew, that sort of safety net of Harry Potter really. It’s been a magical world I’ve been a part of.”
