I mean, I must confess I don't own Harry Potter DVDs. My parents do. They have them all. And they like watching them.

In fact, my favorite Beatles song is In My Life. And from that, you can gauge that my friends mean so much to me. I love John Lennon, so it's kind of like moody... There's a lot you can gauge from that. As insignificant as it seems, as an actor, it's an interesting way to approach a character.

Approaching a comedy character is fun because you get to sit down with the director and ask, What makes you laugh? Then you end up bouncing ideas off each other.

I love making people laugh, and to be able to be that humorous character was great. And I actually was very similar to Neville Longbottom. I was very shy and chubby-cheeked. I wasn't bullied at school, but I wasn't particularly outgoing. We were similar. And so I loved playing him.

What I've found is that stage is very much a foundation of acting. It's where it all began and you're working with that repetition.

I wasn't attractive when I was growing up, and I don't think I am now.

Rupert Grint is exactly like his character Ron, in that they are both incredibly funny, friendly, and loyal.

Alan Rickman told me to do a play, so I did. Because when Alan Rickman tells you do something, you go and do it.

I'm very self-conscious as an actor, with performances and things, and I don't like watching my own stuff.
Matthew Lewis
Image
I love making people laugh.

You know, girls in general are scarier than Voldemort.

Leeds is quite laid-back.

The great thing about filming a film is that you all have your final day's shooting, but you always know that you're all going to be coming back for the premiere.

I've always been partial to comedy. I love the idea of working on a comedic scene.

Alan Rickman, who was mentored me a lot. He was very keen to offer his opinions on stuff. Not in a pretentious way. Not in a patronizing way.
Matthew Lewis
Image
Don't get paparazzi following me everywhere. My life there is exactly the same as it would have been if I had not been in Harry Potter. So for me, Harry Potter isn't something that changed my life. It's just something I did that was a lot of fun, and I got to experience amazing things from. But my actual, personal life is the same.

I wasn't bullied or anything at school, but I was quite shy and didn't speak up too much in class.
Matthew Lewis
Image
I never contemplated. I just went in there and did my acting. I never thought, What's the character actually feeling here? What's he trying to get across? And never looked at it from that classically trained actor's point of view.
Matthew Lewis

Theater was such a different school of acting. But it really is a foundation of everything. It's where it all started! And I feel like I learned so much.
Matthew Lewis

I was never really bullied at school. I was pretty confident in terms of school work and teachers and I've never shyed away from much but a lot of people have come up to me and said that they were bullied at school and my portrayal of Neville has influenced them a lot in their lives and helped them out.
