In the interview, Matthew discusses getting into acting at the age of five and gives tips as to what future actors who audition for the Potter films can do when auditioning. Katie Leung also talks about acting and speaks briefly about her on-screen kiss with Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter). You can watch the video here, from the BBC.

I can see why they gave Matthew that silly hair in this movie. In this interview I think Matthew looks a lot like Dan. Plus the hair style for the movie makes Matthew look younger than he looks in the video interview.

lmao Neville could take Harry in a fight with out wands! Idk I guess I’d have to see it. I mean Harry Has experience dodging bigger guys because of Dudley.

Matt needs the silly hair in the movie because otherwise he’s HOT! And I’ve never exactly invisioned Nev as hot lol.

I’m not sure how to contact anyone here at the site, but FYI … there’s a couple HP reports on AICN here: (no spoilers) http://www.aintitcool.com/node/33120 and an interview with Rupert Grint here (no spoilers) http://www.aintitcool.com/node/33122 with more to come. No foul language in either article/interview, but be aware that AICN talkbacks that follow each article may contain such language.

Wow! Matt you are such a cutie! That does make sense why they tried to make you look a bit younger. And I love it that he is a big fan of these sites! HI YA! :) We love you Matt! Hope Neville survives.

Wow, Matts a cutie! I wish they didnt nerd him up so much for the films, now. He has a great style. Eh, Im forgetting that Neville is a bit nerdy in the books. Im so glad the whole Cho story line will be over after this movie so we can get onto Ginny!

Matt has stubble! I think a part of me just died.

He’s such a cutie. Too bad I’m married and a tad too old for him.

LoonyLuna, most people say how ugly Daniel is, so you’re certainly not alone.

Ugly or not, I’m a loyal Dan fan, because no-one can beat his charm & charisma, but Matthew is second, he seems such a nice guy as well! You could tell he was a cutie even from the beginning.

Yeah I see why they changed his hair for the movie because he just looks to hot to be Neville! Man when I first pulled up the video I was like thats Matt!! I think I might have to change my number one on my HP hottie list. lmao

Guess That Book

Harry, at least, felt extremely foolish, staring blankly at the crystal ball, trying to keep his mind empty when thoughts such as "this is stupid" kept drifting across it. It didn't help that Ron kept breaking into silent giggles and Hermione kept tutting
