SnitchSeeker побывал на недавнем вечере Empire Awards и взял интервью у Ника Морана (Скабиор) о добавленной сцене драки между Скабиором и Невиллом в ДС:часть II, у Гэри Олдмана о съемках в виде призрака во время сцены в лесу ДС:II и у Тома Фелтона о не переснятом эпилоге, DVD-пресс ланче и о своей девушке Джейд (он говорил о ней любя, так что они не поссорились
Текстовка интервью:
SnitchSeeker: Have you done any scenes for the second film?
Gary Oldman: Yes.
SnitchSeeker: Is that in the forest?
Gary Oldman: Yeah, I’m a ghost. We’re ghosts.
SnitchSeeker: With David Thewlis?
Gary Oldman: Yes, David, Harry’s parents. It’s ‘blink and you miss me.’ It really is. A very small scene.
SnitchSeeker: So what’s your best memory of Harry Potter?
Gary Oldman: I think my fondest memory of it really is working with that fabulous cast and getting to know Dan, watch him develop as an actor and watch him grow up, really. It’s just the people that worked on it. The make up people, the costumes, the hair – it was always like it was going back to a family.
SnitchSeeker: Dan’s opening tonight on Broadway in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Have you seen it yet?
Gary Oldman: I have not seen it yet. I’ll send him a text later. It’s tonight?
SnitchSeeker: Yeah, it’s tonight.

SnitchSeeker: Hello, Tom.
Tom Felton: How’re you doing, lovely? Nice to see you again.
SnitchSeeker: Did you do any of the reshoots and how did that go?
Tom Felton: I was very lucky to have to work the day before they reshot.
SnitchSeeker: So you didn’t do them?
Tom Felton: I didn’t do them. But I spoke to people who did and they said it all went fantastically. There was nothing wrong with the scene. They just wanted a couple additional shots to make it even more beautiful. So, I’m very excited to see it.
SnitchSeeker: Something to do with the snow or something?
Tom Felton: I guess. I’m sorry I don’t know, unfortunately. But I know they’ve improved it and they’re very happy with it now
SnitchSeeker: So do you know how post-production is going on the film?
Tom Felton: Yeah, unfortunately that’s the reason why the three Davids can’t be here tonight. They are literally putting the finishing touches on as we speak. So I’m very honored to be here in their place.
SnitchSeeker: Are you doing any press for the DVD release next month?
Tom Felton: I will be. Unfortunately I’m not going to get out to New York for a lot of them.
SnitchSeeker: Because they’re doing stuff for the Exhibition.
Tom Felton: They are. There’s the Exhibition and lots to look forward to out there, but undoubtedly I’ll be doing my best to promote it somewhere else.
What are you going to be doing after Potter? Have you got anything really lined up yet?
Tom Felton: Yeah, we finished about twelve months ago. Since then I’ve completed about three films. Rise of the Apes will be coming out in August almost directly after Harry Potter, so that’ll be an exciting summer. Apparition is hopefully going ahead next year now, not this year. And, of course, Harry Potter as well to look forward to.
Quote:
SnitchSeeker: We spoke to Matthew Lewis, who plays Neville Longbottom, and he said in the new film you two have a fight scene.
Nick Moran: Yeah, we had a lot of fun. I don't want to spoil it for anybody, but Scabior comes back with an army, and you know, it was terrific. It's a whole army, and it's just facing Neville - Neville fending off a whole army. And it's a very very funny scene, a really good action sequence.
SnitchSeeker: He said it took awhile to film.
Nick Moran: We did weeks and weeks of night shoots, because it is an army, there was literally an army of bad guys, and we meet at the front. Fabulous, just fantastic.
SnitchSeeker: What was your best memory on Harry Potter?
Nick Moran: Oh, all of it. Every day was a barrel of fun, every day was great. I wish I was in the first two and not the last two so could have done all of them. It's a job of a lifetime, you couldn't have a better job as an actor.
*Новое интервью Тома Фелтона: о ГП, новых проектах, коллегах, твиттере и другом: читать дальшеYou're heading to Australia to appear at the Supanova Pop Culture Expo. Is this your first trip Down Under?
It is, my very first trip. I actually feel a bit nervous. The reason I'm anxious is my brother went there four years ago for a month of travelling and he never came back. He absolutely loves it so much that that's his new home now. So my fear is that I'll never come back, I'm gonna be a full-on resident of Melbourne or Brisbane.
You already have a lot of fan interaction on Twitter.
A publicist said to me ages ago, "You should do it". I was reluctant - I don't do Facebook, I don't do online media social network things ... Then I got Twitter on my iPhone and the rest is history, I think I'm 4000 tweets down now. It's quite sad really, isn't it? (Laughs.)
Some say the world's entire under-30 population must hate you, given your role as Harry's nemesis Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films for the past decade.
True! Definitely! I'm far from always welcomed. I was presenting an award two years ago for the Children's BAFTAs and every single person there booed and hissed me. I didn't know whether to walk off stage ... But I came to realise that it was quite a compliment and I must be doing something right as Draco if people are booing me. And quite a few kids in the street have been, let's just say, reluctant to go anywhere near me.
How long did you wait after your final scene to get rid of the blond hair?
They were fairly quick to say, "Go for it, mate, get it out of your hair". Actually, what they were trying to say was, "Good luck trying to get it out of your hair". It actually took me about six months to get rid of it, because whatever colour you try to dye over it, the blond just seems to come back in.
How did you react when "cut" was called on your last day of shooting on The Deathly Hallows?
Well, I foresaw me blubbing. There's something about that last day where if you hang around and spend a few hours hugging people, you really, really get upset. So my theory was: say goodbye to everyone I needed to say goodbye to before, then as soon as they said, "You're wrapped, thank you for your services", I was pretty much out of the set, in the car and on the way home ... before I could blub.
You didn't have much time to sit around bemoaning your unemployment once Potter wrapped, did you?
I was very lucky. It was a real mixture of emotions when it finished, because there was the real scary side of things - "Oh right, now what do I do? Do I go back to my paper round or do I persist with this?" So my girlfriend and I took a little break and halfway through that break I got a phone call to try out for Rise of the Apes.
Rise of the Apes has a great cast - James Franco, Freida Pinto and Andy Serkis. What did they make of you being part of the Potter phenomenon?
There was some heckling. Any opportunity to refer to something as a wand or a broom, people will jump on it. There have been a couple of moments where it has been genuinely funny, other times not so much. You learn to take that one on the chin.
You spent your downtime on Potter playing guitar - which seems to have paid off as you have a second career as a musician now.
It's certainly turned into something I never imagined. I taught myself guitar and had many hours to practise - there were quite a few of us. Matt Lewis, who plays Neville, he's a very accomplished guitarist. We had a few Beatles jam sessions.
And Daniel Radcliffe is a total music geek.
Oh my God, that's the exact word for him - geek. You can play five seconds of a song from the 1950s and he'll be like, "Oh yeah, that was Nat King Cole". He has a phenomenal ear for these sorts of things. It's great for me, because every morning I used to go into hair and make-up and there'd be some strange music blasting out of these little iPod speakers. He was a great source for new material.
What was the thinking behind starting your label, Six String Productions?
A lot of people have said, "Oh, you've given up acting, now you're going into music". That's not my intention at all. Music's always been a passion, I've recorded about 10 songs in my bedroom and put them online. An opportunity came along to put a bit of money behind it to try to improve the quality of the songs and then we got this idea of starting an independent record label to promote young people writing and making music on the cheap.
The Deathly Hallows - Part 2 opens July 14. What is in store for Draco?
There is a bit of redemption - I don't think the crowd will be cheering him on, but he and Harry come to each other's aid on more than one occasion.
Was Draco in it enough to keep you satisfied?
It's a tough one, because it was 140 central cast members in this last film, so even if you get half a page of dialogue, consider yourself lucky! But there's a lot more physical stuff for Draco to do with the big, final battle coming up - he has quite a role in that and that was a lot different for me.
What's the biggest perk of being a Harry Potter star?
This is gonna sound really cheesy, but one of the greatest things we've been gifted with is we can go to children's hospitals and places like that and really make their day without having to do anything. Especially Daniel - I've seen kids literally wet their pants in front of Daniel! I think it's a priority that we abuse that and make the most of it.

Snitchseeker также взял интервью у исполнителя роли Невилла - Мэттью Льюиса. На данный момент Мэттью играет в театре роль Лестера Коула в постановке "Verdict"/Вердикт по пьсесе Анаты Кристи. Это второй проект после ГП. Мэттью сказал о том, что с нетерпением ждет выхода II части Даров Смерти т.к. они добавили новую сцену с его участием: сцена схватки Мэтта и пожирателя смерти Скабиора!
Кстати там же можно почитать интервью Пожирателя Смерти, остановившего поезд в I части ДС. Актер рассказал много интересного о том как попал в фильм, что не смотря на незначительную роль поработал на съемках и с Хеленой Бонэм Картер и с Уорвиком Дэвисом и как не смог познакомится с Ральфом Файенсом т.к. во ремя совместных съемок его персонаж был мертв: ..три часа лежал в крови на полу, слушая как Ральф (Волдеморт) ходит по комнате..
Интервью Мэтта:SnitchSeeker: So, you did Harry Potter, then you did The Sweet Shop. How come you wanted to do a play?
Matthew Lewis: Well I went for a meeting with [theatre producer] Bill Kenwright for something different. It was the differences that I started to realize between film and TV, I’d been doing for so long. In that play that I read for that I realized that I had something I’d really missed out while I was growing up in acting, and it was something that I thought was a good foundation for all kinds of acting. So I thought, well why not go back to doing that and then learn. Then, hopefully, that will help you later on when you want to go back to film and TV. So Bill Kenwright came up to me and said, "We’ve got this other thing, if you want to play. It’s not a huge role, but it’ll be a tour and you can learn."
So I agreed to do it. Joe Harmston, the director, was absolutely fantastic. He worked really hard with me ’cause it’s so different from TV and film when you’ve got a camera that can get all your close ups and all that kind of thing. You can act very internally and very quietly, whereas with this you’ve got to be out there all times and people in the back row need to know exactly what you’re feeling and what you’re saying. It just feels like overacting, to be honest with you, to start with. It’s very, very difficult. I struggle with it. There are all kinds of little things that you’ll keep picking up, saying, “Try this. Try that.” First we’d had rehearsal and I was like, "Gah, this is so different from what I’m used to. I don’t know if I can do this."
SnitchSeeker: Did you consider not doing it?
Matthew: No, I was always doing it, but it was difficult. It’s not like a huge, difficult role or anything like that. It was just the differences. But working with Joe, it so very quickly came together. It’s good. It’s fun. It’s so different. I’m so looking forward now to doing it for so long – I will have done it for so long. To taking what I’ve learned, bringing out that foundation, that base, and then putting TV and film on top of it. It’s going to be quite exciting, I think.
SnitchSeeker: So it’s almost like back to basics?
Matthew: Exactly that. It’s a learning curve for me to go from all these million of dollars worth of sets to work on and costumes. It’s back to basics. It’s nice. It’s fun. It’s good.
SnitchSeeker: I suppose to take on a smaller role, in a way, there’s less pressure because you’ve got quite a big cast on the stage. So it’s not like everybody’s looking at you, as opposed to Dan with Equus.
Matthew: Yeah, exactly, and it helps. I can watch these other guys and see how they’re working and learn from them, as well. Rob Duncan does an amazing job. Dawn Steele. It’s great to be able to watch those guys working. Like you said, the pressure’s off. It’s still a play. You want to give them the best performance every night you possibly can. But in terms of the pressure, the play is not on my shoulders, if you like. So I can learn and enjoy myself at the same time. We’ll see how it goes when I finish and do something different.
SnitchSeeker: What attracted you to the character?
Matthew: Well, to be honest it was the whole play. When I first read it they said, “Well, do you want to do it?” And I said, “Well I’m interested in doing some theatre.” But it was the whole play. I spoke to Joe again about Agatha Christie and he knows a lot about it. He’s worked with this Agatha Christie theatre company for some time now. So he knows a lot about her and he explained all the backstory to it and how it was very reflective of her own life. It’s just so unusual. It’s so different from its original murder mystery whodunit Agatha Christie. It’s much more character-related. Themes of love and life. It’s really interesting and moral choices. I was fascinated by ethics and I did theology at school. It’s moral choices that people are given and how liberal can we be before it becomes dangerous, and vice versa. It’s just so unusual. Actually I think it was her second favorite play she ever wrote, so it was really that that attracted me to it, and the character less.
It’s set in a period in 1958 when people didn’t go to university based on their academic ability, they went on whether they had enough money or whether their families had enough money or were from an aristocratic background. It’s at that time when that kind of class system is starting to become less strict. So Lester is this working class person whose probably father works in a mill or something up in Yorkshire and he’s actually at this university by his own merit. He wants to learn, which is in contrast to Helen, who is played by Ali Bastian, who’s there not because she wants to work, but because her father is a very rich man. So it’s just interesting. It’s fun. I’m not from a working class background, but I am from Leeds and that helps me do the accent pretty well. This role is different from Neville, obviously.
SnitchSeeker: And obviously, even though it’s Agatha Christie, it sounds like it’s very relevant these days with tuition fees. Like you said, back then people went based on their money and you could argue that that’s going to go back to the way it used to be now.
Matthew: Well yeah, I suppose it is. This Helen comes in. She offers all this money and Karl says, "Well no. You can offer however much money you want. Education’s not about money. It’s about getting the right people with the potential." That’s an interesting scene when Karl, the main character, has the argument with her father because her father’s offering money and he turned it down. He’d rather teach poor students that have a thirst for knowledge. Yeah, that’s one of the reasons that it’s a contrast, as well.
SnitchSeeker: So the production’s been touring, how’s that been?
Matthew: It was hard work, to begin with. It still is a lot. We’ve got so lucky to have such a great company. The cast and crew are amazing. I’ve gotten on with everyone so well. We’ve really bonded. We’re staying in houses together. It’s phenomenal. I feel a bit like I’m on holiday sometimes. It’s kind of nice, especially when we were in Plymouth, on the seaside and that. It’s a shame we don’t have the weather for it yet.
SnitchSeeker: You posted a picture of you on a ferry on Twitter...
Matthew: We did. We went to Cornwall on ferry, yeah. It’s five minutes across the bay to go to Cornwall. We went walking through all these grounds. It was rubbish weather.
SnitchSeeker: It always is.
Matthew: But it was fun, just a fun little day trip out with everybody. Being away from home is, for me, really difficult. I get really homesick.
SnitchSeeker: I suppose it’s different to when you’re on a film set and it’s back and forth, back and forth.
Matthew: Yeah, well even when we were consistently filming I would always insist on going back Friday night and coming back Sunday. If you do a six- to ten-week film, that’s not a bad book. When it’s six months, it’s hard work. So I went home this weekend. I guess I haven’t been home for over a month. It was great. It was really, really good to say hello and just see all my friends and that. It was wicked. And I’m going to go home again next weekend but then normally it’ll be months apart. So it’s hard work.
SnitchSeeker: Possibly a taste of things to come then, if you do more acting.
Matthew: Well yeah, exactly. Having long periods away from home. So it’s just getting used to it. Like I said, I’m just so lucky we’ve got the great company. I mean, if it was full of horrible people I think I would have struggled so much.
SnitchSeeker: So what’s been the biggest challenge with the character?
Matthew: I guess what I explained earlier – the differences between film and TV. The actual character itself I can relate to it in a lot of ways. When I was at school, when I was doing ethics at school, it was something I really wanted to learn. I was always reading books and trying to gain more from it, which is just what the character, Lester, is trying to do. So, I get all that. So he’d get engaged in these in depth conversations and he can be quite bold sometimes. He doesn’t mean to be. It’s just his thirst for knowledge. He asks very direct and bold questions. It’s not out of rudeness, just maybe a clumsy kind of way in his northern manner.
He just really has this thirst for knowledge, so he doesn’t hesitate in asking these questions. I could relate to that a little bit, which made it easier for me. But it was the projection. Because as soon as you start shouting things. If you’ve got a line that’s supposed to be quite soft, you have to be able to project whilst at the same time keep it small. It was so difficult, to begin with. You know, a camera you can whisper, you’ve got microphone picking you up, you’ve got close up, it’s fine, but on this you have to always be out. It was hard work, to begin, with and I really struggled with it. But I think it’s starting to get there now. The last few weeks I’ve been happy with it.
SnitchSeeker: I suppose it’s better with repeated performance?
Matthew: Yeah, and also the more you repeat it, the more you feel more free with it. You can try different things. It’s fun. I’m not going to say that people are going to come in and one night and they’re going to get one thing and then they’ll get something rubbish. I try to make sure it’s all going all right. I do the best I can every night. But sometimes when you say something it comes out a little differently and you think, "Actually, I never thought of saying it that way before." But it actually makes sense as you get to know the character better. So it’s fun doing that little experiment every now and then.
SnitchSeeker: You said in November, while at the kids’ BAFTAs that you were going back for reshoots [on Potter].
Matthew: Yeah, I did.
SnitchSeeker: You did in the end?
Matthew: No. I was going back and faxed them a picture of myself. I sent it to them so they could know whether they needed wigs or whatever. After I sent the picture they thought, "No." (laughs) My hair was right short and they just thought obviously they’d had enough. They said don’t worry about it. I didn’t end up going. I think it was because it was a time when we had really bad weather, as well – really bad snow. And I don’t think they had any way of getting me down there because the trains were all canceled and they couldn’t get any cars up. So I think they just thought, "Well, we’ll just have to leave it." So I don’t know whether they cut whatever scene it was for.
SnitchSeeker: That’s interesting because clearly they felt the need to redo it.
Matthew: Yeah, but I don’t know what scene it was so I can’t even guess what they’ve done with it.
SnitchSeeker: Do you know if they managed to do the other reshoots?
Matthew: Yes, I believe they did some of the stuff with Dan, Rupert and Emma. I think they got all that out of the way before the weather came in.
SnitchSeeker: Do you know why they did that?
Matthew: I’ve no idea, no. Like I said, I don’t even know what scene I was supposed to doing, nevermind why.
SnitchSeeker: There’s lots of speculation when they did [the epilogue scene] originally on location there was a lot of paparazzi and maybe that was the problem.
Matthew: That could be it. They redid it in the studio I think, didn’t they?
SnitchSeeker: Yeah. Loads of pictures got out of all of them in their prosthetics and their costumes, and we’re wondering whether they changed that completely. Everybody saw what it was like before it was even filmed.
Matthew: Exactly, I think that … could ruin it a bit, especially when it’s supposed to be the final scene of the film. Also they felt really rushed as well because they’ve got to try and keep people away, and paparazzi. They were really rushed and they didn’t get what they wanted. So they felt they could do it in the studio with no distractions. I spoke to David Yates recently. He’s very happy in the editing room, he says. He said he’s really enjoying it. So he must have everything he wants.
SnitchSeeker: So you’re completely done?
Matthew: Yeah.
SnitchSeeker: So what scenes are you looking forward to seeing in the second film, both involving Neville and not?
Matthew: Well, there’s actually a Neville one that I can’t really talk too much about.
SnitchSeeker: That’s not in the book?
Matthew: I don’t think so. I don’t think it is. I can’t remember. I read the book three times but I can’t remember if it’s in. I’m pretty sure it’s not. It’s a new one they put in. It involves a bridge, that’s all I can say. Involves a bridge and Nick Moran.
SnitchSeeker: He’s one of the snatchers.
Matthew: Yes. Scabior, is it?
SnitchSeeker: Yeah, the one who kind of looks like Jack Sparrow.
Matthew: Yeah, him. It’s a scene with him. It took us weeks and weeks of night shoots and stunts and all kinds of stuff. If it’s all in there – I hope it’s in there because it took us so bloody long to do it – and if it’s all kept in there the way we did it then it’s going to be amazing. That’s what I’m most looking forward to.
SnitchSeeker: So it’s part of the battle sequence?
Matthew: Yeah. It’s going to be very, very cool, I hope. If it’s in there. The scene I’m most looking forward to without Neville … I don’t know, really. Oh yeah, actually, the Gringotts stuff because I’ve seen brief clips of it. I was on the Gringotts set just messing around because it’s a spectacular set they built for it. So I’m looking forward to seeing all that stuff. It should be good.
SnitchSeeker: After Verdict, what are you up to?
Matthew: Well I finish just before Harry Potter press tour kicks off, so I’ll be going around the world with Harry Potter. Glad to. Next year I’ll be looking, after I come back from Harry Potter tour, I’ll go on holiday, which is going to be wicked. Going on holiday with some mates from home. I can’t wait for that. And then as soon as I get back I’m ready to start looking for some more stuff. I mean if something comes up before then, great. But, yeah, that’ll be the time when I come back from holiday. I’ll have all this time. I’ll be looking at auditioning for anything I can read for, really – film, television, plays even maybe. I’m looking forward to taking off late August and really getting out there and almost starting again, if you like. It’s weird.
SnitchSeeker: So you haven’t got anything in particular. Nothing in mind you want.
Matthew: Not yet, no. I’ve been so focused on this play, really. We’re doing eight, nine shows a week. I don’t really have time. There are a couple of things that are coming up. Some stuff being shot in Leeds, some stuff being shot in the U.K. Hopefully, maybe I’ll audition for in the future. But nothing that I’ve got set up yet.
SnitchSeeker: And about The Sweet Shop, do you know when the release is?
Matthew: I don’t actually. The producer came to see the play in Windsor about a month ago. I think they’ve got some distribution, they’re hoping. Obviously, Seb Hurtado, the main character committed suicide last year, which … everyone prayed about. So they didn’t really know what to do with it. They didn’t know how to approach it or not. They had to speak to Seb’s family, as well, to see if they wanted it released. But I think they do. They’re going to keep in touch with me over the next few months. But hopefully they’re going to try and get it out at some point this year if they can. At the start of this year, maybe even towards Harry Potter release maybe. I don’t know. We’ll see. But if they let me know I’ll let you know.

He absolutely loves it so much that that's his new home now. So my fear is that I'll never come back, I'm gonna be a full-on resident of Melbourne or Brisbane.
You already have a lot of fan interaction on Twitter.
A publicist said to me ages ago, "You should do it". I was reluctant - I don't do Facebook, I don't do online media social network things ... Then I got Twitter on my iPhone and the rest is history, I think I'm 4000 tweets down now. It's quite sad really, isn't it? (Laughs.)
Some say the world's entire under-30 population must hate you, given your role as Harry's nemesis Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films for the past decade.
True! Definitely! I'm far from always welcomed. I was presenting an award two years ago for the Children's BAFTAs and every single person there booed and hissed me. I didn't know whether to walk off stage ... But I came to realise that it was quite a compliment and I must be doing something right as Draco if people are booing me. And quite a few kids in the street have been, let's just say, reluctant to go anywhere near me.
How long did you wait after your final scene to get rid of the blond hair?They were fairly quick to say, "Go for it, mate, get it out of your hair". Actually, what they were trying to say was, "Good luck trying to get it out of your hair". It actually took me about six months to get rid of it, because whatever colour you try to dye over it, the blond just seems to come back in.
How did you react when "cut" was called on your last day of shooting on The Deathly Hallows?
Well, I foresaw me blubbing. There's something about that last day where if you hang around and spend a few hours hugging people, you really, really get upset. So my theory was: say goodbye to everyone I needed to say goodbye to before, then as soon as they said, "You're wrapped, thank you for your services", I was pretty much out of the set, in the car and on the way home ... before I could blub.
You didn't have much time to sit around bemoaning your unemployment once Potter wrapped, did you?
I was very lucky. It was a real mixture of emotions when it finished, because there was the real scary side of things - "Oh right, now what do I do? Do I go back to my paper round or do I persist with this?" So my girlfriend and I took a little break and halfway through that break I got a phone call to try out for Rise of the Apes.
Rise of the Apes has a great cast - James Franco, Freida Pinto and Andy Serkis. What did they make of you being part of the Potter phenomenon?
There was some heckling. Any opportunity to refer to something as a wand or a broom, people will jump on it. There have been a couple of moments where it has been genuinely funny, other times not so much. You learn to take that one on the chin.
You spent your downtime on Potter playing guitar - which seems to have paid off as you have a second career as a musician now.
It's certainly turned into something I never imagined. I taught myself guitar and had many hours to practise - there were quite a few of us. Matt Lewis, who plays Neville, he's a very accomplished guitarist. We had a few Beatles jam sessions.
And Daniel Radcliffe is a total music geek.
Oh my God, that's the exact word for him - geek. You can play five seconds of a song from the 1950s and he'll be like, "Oh yeah, that was Nat King Cole". He has a phenomenal ear for these sorts of things. It's great for me, because every morning I used to go into hair and make-up and there'd be some strange music blasting out of these little iPod speakers. He was a great source for new material.
What was the thinking behind starting your label, Six String Productions?
A lot of people have said, "Oh, you've given up acting, now you're going into music". That's not my intention at all. Music's always been a passion, I've recorded about 10 songs in my bedroom and put them online. An opportunity came along to put a bit of money behind it to try to improve the quality of the songs and then we got this idea of starting an independent record label to promote young people writing and making music on the cheap.
The Deathly Hallows - Part 2 opens July 14. What is in store for Draco?
There is a bit of redemption - I don't think the crowd will be cheering him on, but he and Harry come to each other's aid on more than one occasion.
Was Draco in it enough to keep you satisfied?
It's a tough one, because it was 140 central cast members in this last film, so even if you get half a page of dialogue, consider yourself lucky! But there's a lot more physical stuff for Draco to do with the big, final battle coming up - he has quite a role in that and that was a lot different for me.
What's the biggest perk of being a Harry Potter star?
This is gonna sound really cheesy, but one of the greatest things we've been gifted with is we can go to children's hospitals and places like that and really make their day without having to do anything. Especially Daniel - I've seen kids literally wet their pants in front of Daniel! I think it's a priority that we abuse that and make the most of it.

Snitchseeker также взял интервью у исполнителя роли Невилла - Мэттью Льюиса. На данный момент Мэттью играет в театре роль Лестера Коула в постановке "Verdict"/Вердикт по пьсесе Анаты Кристи. Это второй проект после ГП. Мэттью сказал о том, что с нетерпением ждет выхода II части Даров Смерти т.к. они добавили новую сцену с его участием: сцена схватки Мэтта и пожирателя смерти Скабиора! Кстати там же можно почитать интервью Пожирателя Смерти, остановившего поезд в I части ДС. Актер рассказал много интересного о том как попал в фильм, что не смотря на незначительную роль поработал на съемках и с Хеленой Бонэм Картер и с Уорвиком Дэвисом и как не смог познакомится с Ральфом Файенсом т.к. во ремя совместных съемок его персонаж был мертв: ..три часа лежал в крови на полу, слушая как Ральф (Волдеморт) ходит по комнате..
Интервью Мэтта:SnitchSeeker: So, you did Harry Potter, then you did The Sweet Shop. How come you wanted to do a play?
Matthew Lewis: Well I went for a meeting with [theatre producer] Bill Kenwright for something different. It was the differences that I started to realize between film and TV, I’d been doing for so long. In that play that I read for that I realized that I had something I’d really missed out while I was growing up in acting, and it was something that I thought was a good foundation for all kinds of acting. So I thought, well why not go back to doing that and then learn. Then, hopefully, that will help you later on when you want to go back to film and TV. So Bill Kenwright came up to me and said, "We’ve got this other thing, if you want to play. It’s not a huge role, but it’ll be a tour and you can learn."
So I agreed to do it. Joe Harmston, the director, was absolutely fantastic. He worked really hard with me ’cause it’s so different from TV and film when you’ve got a camera that can get all your close ups and all that kind of thing. You can act very internally and very quietly, whereas with this you’ve got to be out there all times and people in the back row need to know exactly what you’re feeling and what you’re saying. It just feels like overacting, to be honest with you, to start with. It’s very, very difficult. I struggle with it. There are all kinds of little things that you’ll keep picking up, saying, “Try this. Try that.” First we’d had rehearsal and I was like, "Gah, this is so different from what I’m used to. I don’t know if I can do this."
SnitchSeeker: Did you consider not doing it?
Matthew: No, I was always doing it, but it was difficult. It’s not like a huge, difficult role or anything like that. It was just the differences. But working with Joe, it so very quickly came together. It’s good. It’s fun. It’s so different. I’m so looking forward now to doing it for so long – I will have done it for so long. To taking what I’ve learned, bringing out that foundation, that base, and then putting TV and film on top of it. It’s going to be quite exciting, I think.
SnitchSeeker: So it’s almost like back to basics?
Matthew: Exactly that. It’s a learning curve for me to go from all these million of dollars worth of sets to work on and costumes. It’s back to basics. It’s nice. It’s fun. It’s good.
SnitchSeeker: I suppose to take on a smaller role, in a way, there’s less pressure because you’ve got quite a big cast on the stage. So it’s not like everybody’s looking at you, as opposed to Dan with Equus.
Matthew: Yeah, exactly, and it helps. I can watch these other guys and see how they’re working and learn from them, as well. Rob Duncan does an amazing job. Dawn Steele. It’s great to be able to watch those guys working. Like you said, the pressure’s off. It’s still a play. You want to give them the best performance every night you possibly can. But in terms of the pressure, the play is not on my shoulders, if you like. So I can learn and enjoy myself at the same time. We’ll see how it goes when I finish and do something different.
SnitchSeeker: What attracted you to the character?
Matthew: Well, to be honest it was the whole play. When I first read it they said, “Well, do you want to do it?” And I said, “Well I’m interested in doing some theatre.” But it was the whole play. I spoke to Joe again about Agatha Christie and he knows a lot about it. He’s worked with this Agatha Christie theatre company for some time now. So he knows a lot about her and he explained all the backstory to it and how it was very reflective of her own life. It’s just so unusual. It’s so different from its original murder mystery whodunit Agatha Christie. It’s much more character-related. Themes of love and life. It’s really interesting and moral choices. I was fascinated by ethics and I did theology at school. It’s moral choices that people are given and how liberal can we be before it becomes dangerous, and vice versa. It’s just so unusual. Actually I think it was her second favorite play she ever wrote, so it was really that that attracted me to it, and the character less.
It’s set in a period in 1958 when people didn’t go to university based on their academic ability, they went on whether they had enough money or whether their families had enough money or were from an aristocratic background. It’s at that time when that kind of class system is starting to become less strict. So Lester is this working class person whose probably father works in a mill or something up in Yorkshire and he’s actually at this university by his own merit. He wants to learn, which is in contrast to Helen, who is played by Ali Bastian, who’s there not because she wants to work, but because her father is a very rich man. So it’s just interesting. It’s fun. I’m not from a working class background, but I am from Leeds and that helps me do the accent pretty well. This role is different from Neville, obviously.
SnitchSeeker: And obviously, even though it’s Agatha Christie, it sounds like it’s very relevant these days with tuition fees. Like you said, back then people went based on their money and you could argue that that’s going to go back to the way it used to be now.
Matthew: Well yeah, I suppose it is. This Helen comes in. She offers all this money and Karl says, "Well no. You can offer however much money you want. Education’s not about money. It’s about getting the right people with the potential." That’s an interesting scene when Karl, the main character, has the argument with her father because her father’s offering money and he turned it down. He’d rather teach poor students that have a thirst for knowledge. Yeah, that’s one of the reasons that it’s a contrast, as well.
SnitchSeeker: So the production’s been touring, how’s that been?
Matthew: It was hard work, to begin with. It still is a lot. We’ve got so lucky to have such a great company. The cast and crew are amazing. I’ve gotten on with everyone so well. We’ve really bonded. We’re staying in houses together. It’s phenomenal. I feel a bit like I’m on holiday sometimes. It’s kind of nice, especially when we were in Plymouth, on the seaside and that. It’s a shame we don’t have the weather for it yet.
SnitchSeeker: You posted a picture of you on a ferry on Twitter...
Matthew: We did. We went to Cornwall on ferry, yeah. It’s five minutes across the bay to go to Cornwall. We went walking through all these grounds. It was rubbish weather.
SnitchSeeker: It always is.
Matthew: But it was fun, just a fun little day trip out with everybody. Being away from home is, for me, really difficult. I get really homesick.
SnitchSeeker: I suppose it’s different to when you’re on a film set and it’s back and forth, back and forth.
Matthew: Yeah, well even when we were consistently filming I would always insist on going back Friday night and coming back Sunday. If you do a six- to ten-week film, that’s not a bad book. When it’s six months, it’s hard work. So I went home this weekend. I guess I haven’t been home for over a month. It was great. It was really, really good to say hello and just see all my friends and that. It was wicked. And I’m going to go home again next weekend but then normally it’ll be months apart. So it’s hard work.
SnitchSeeker: Possibly a taste of things to come then, if you do more acting.
Matthew: Well yeah, exactly. Having long periods away from home. So it’s just getting used to it. Like I said, I’m just so lucky we’ve got the great company. I mean, if it was full of horrible people I think I would have struggled so much.
SnitchSeeker: So what’s been the biggest challenge with the character?
Matthew: I guess what I explained earlier – the differences between film and TV. The actual character itself I can relate to it in a lot of ways. When I was at school, when I was doing ethics at school, it was something I really wanted to learn. I was always reading books and trying to gain more from it, which is just what the character, Lester, is trying to do. So, I get all that. So he’d get engaged in these in depth conversations and he can be quite bold sometimes. He doesn’t mean to be. It’s just his thirst for knowledge. He asks very direct and bold questions. It’s not out of rudeness, just maybe a clumsy kind of way in his northern manner.
He just really has this thirst for knowledge, so he doesn’t hesitate in asking these questions. I could relate to that a little bit, which made it easier for me. But it was the projection. Because as soon as you start shouting things. If you’ve got a line that’s supposed to be quite soft, you have to be able to project whilst at the same time keep it small. It was so difficult, to begin with. You know, a camera you can whisper, you’ve got microphone picking you up, you’ve got close up, it’s fine, but on this you have to always be out. It was hard work, to begin, with and I really struggled with it. But I think it’s starting to get there now. The last few weeks I’ve been happy with it.
SnitchSeeker: I suppose it’s better with repeated performance?
Matthew: Yeah, and also the more you repeat it, the more you feel more free with it. You can try different things. It’s fun. I’m not going to say that people are going to come in and one night and they’re going to get one thing and then they’ll get something rubbish. I try to make sure it’s all going all right. I do the best I can every night. But sometimes when you say something it comes out a little differently and you think, "Actually, I never thought of saying it that way before." But it actually makes sense as you get to know the character better. So it’s fun doing that little experiment every now and then.
SnitchSeeker: You said in November, while at the kids’ BAFTAs that you were going back for reshoots [on Potter].
Matthew: Yeah, I did.
SnitchSeeker: You did in the end?
Matthew: No. I was going back and faxed them a picture of myself. I sent it to them so they could know whether they needed wigs or whatever. After I sent the picture they thought, "No." (laughs) My hair was right short and they just thought obviously they’d had enough. They said don’t worry about it. I didn’t end up going. I think it was because it was a time when we had really bad weather, as well – really bad snow. And I don’t think they had any way of getting me down there because the trains were all canceled and they couldn’t get any cars up. So I think they just thought, "Well, we’ll just have to leave it." So I don’t know whether they cut whatever scene it was for.
SnitchSeeker: That’s interesting because clearly they felt the need to redo it.
Matthew: Yeah, but I don’t know what scene it was so I can’t even guess what they’ve done with it.
SnitchSeeker: Do you know if they managed to do the other reshoots?
Matthew: Yes, I believe they did some of the stuff with Dan, Rupert and Emma. I think they got all that out of the way before the weather came in.
SnitchSeeker: Do you know why they did that?
Matthew: I’ve no idea, no. Like I said, I don’t even know what scene I was supposed to doing, nevermind why.
SnitchSeeker: There’s lots of speculation when they did [the epilogue scene] originally on location there was a lot of paparazzi and maybe that was the problem.
Matthew: That could be it. They redid it in the studio I think, didn’t they?
SnitchSeeker: Yeah. Loads of pictures got out of all of them in their prosthetics and their costumes, and we’re wondering whether they changed that completely. Everybody saw what it was like before it was even filmed.
Matthew: Exactly, I think that … could ruin it a bit, especially when it’s supposed to be the final scene of the film. Also they felt really rushed as well because they’ve got to try and keep people away, and paparazzi. They were really rushed and they didn’t get what they wanted. So they felt they could do it in the studio with no distractions. I spoke to David Yates recently. He’s very happy in the editing room, he says. He said he’s really enjoying it. So he must have everything he wants.
SnitchSeeker: So you’re completely done?
Matthew: Yeah.
SnitchSeeker: So what scenes are you looking forward to seeing in the second film, both involving Neville and not?
Matthew: Well, there’s actually a Neville one that I can’t really talk too much about.
SnitchSeeker: That’s not in the book?
Matthew: I don’t think so. I don’t think it is. I can’t remember. I read the book three times but I can’t remember if it’s in. I’m pretty sure it’s not. It’s a new one they put in. It involves a bridge, that’s all I can say. Involves a bridge and Nick Moran.
SnitchSeeker: He’s one of the snatchers.
Matthew: Yes. Scabior, is it?
SnitchSeeker: Yeah, the one who kind of looks like Jack Sparrow.
Matthew: Yeah, him. It’s a scene with him. It took us weeks and weeks of night shoots and stunts and all kinds of stuff. If it’s all in there – I hope it’s in there because it took us so bloody long to do it – and if it’s all kept in there the way we did it then it’s going to be amazing. That’s what I’m most looking forward to.
SnitchSeeker: So it’s part of the battle sequence?
Matthew: Yeah. It’s going to be very, very cool, I hope. If it’s in there. The scene I’m most looking forward to without Neville … I don’t know, really. Oh yeah, actually, the Gringotts stuff because I’ve seen brief clips of it. I was on the Gringotts set just messing around because it’s a spectacular set they built for it. So I’m looking forward to seeing all that stuff. It should be good.
SnitchSeeker: After Verdict, what are you up to?
Matthew: Well I finish just before Harry Potter press tour kicks off, so I’ll be going around the world with Harry Potter. Glad to. Next year I’ll be looking, after I come back from Harry Potter tour, I’ll go on holiday, which is going to be wicked. Going on holiday with some mates from home. I can’t wait for that. And then as soon as I get back I’m ready to start looking for some more stuff. I mean if something comes up before then, great. But, yeah, that’ll be the time when I come back from holiday. I’ll have all this time. I’ll be looking at auditioning for anything I can read for, really – film, television, plays even maybe. I’m looking forward to taking off late August and really getting out there and almost starting again, if you like. It’s weird.
SnitchSeeker: So you haven’t got anything in particular. Nothing in mind you want.
Matthew: Not yet, no. I’ve been so focused on this play, really. We’re doing eight, nine shows a week. I don’t really have time. There are a couple of things that are coming up. Some stuff being shot in Leeds, some stuff being shot in the U.K. Hopefully, maybe I’ll audition for in the future. But nothing that I’ve got set up yet.
SnitchSeeker: And about The Sweet Shop, do you know when the release is?
Matthew: I don’t actually. The producer came to see the play in Windsor about a month ago. I think they’ve got some distribution, they’re hoping. Obviously, Seb Hurtado, the main character committed suicide last year, which … everyone prayed about. So they didn’t really know what to do with it. They didn’t know how to approach it or not. They had to speak to Seb’s family, as well, to see if they wanted it released. But I think they do. They’re going to keep in touch with me over the next few months. But hopefully they’re going to try and get it out at some point this year if they can. At the start of this year, maybe even towards Harry Potter release maybe. I don’t know. We’ll see. But if they let me know I’ll let you know.
