PotterCast #51: Featuring Matt Lewis!

Released on August 16, 2006 | Rated 3.78 (144 votes)

Actor Matt Lewis joins us as he discusses his role as Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter films. We have a great discussion on Umbridge, Luna, the new-do Neville, and much more. In this show:
Show Notes:

- Sue tries not to deafen him!

- Matt says Neville "rapidly changes throughout [film five]," while we see that Harry is "not invincible." He says he's working harder than ever before, closely with the trio and Ginny.

- Differences between screenwriters Kloves and Goldenberg ("He's American, for a start.")

- The struggle over how to say "I killed Harry Potter!" in the fourth film

- Matt on taking down Bellatrix: "I'll do my best."

- Revisiting the scene from movie four where Neville reacts to the idea of his parents' torture. ("I wanted to get that so right.")

- David Yates, the director of the fifth Potter film, and how coaxes a performance out of an actor. "He believes no one knows more about the character than the person who's played him for the past five years," says Matt.

- Imelda Staunton plays evil professor Dolores Umbridge as "cruel, twisted and slightly mental...she's plotting how she's going to kill you later on, when your back is turned."

- Teasing about the World Cup commences

- "Yo Queen, how you doin'?" (says Matt)

- Also in the show:John's away for the opening and closing of the show, so the girls play.
