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
