Hider and I apologise profusely for the severe lack of updates on the site. We hope that next year brings some changes about the place (like a brand new layout) and other things so we can make Matt Lewis Fan the place to go for all your Matt needs.
In saying that, 'tis the silly season and Hider and I would like to wish you all a very happy holiday, however you celebrate it.
And speaking of Christmas presents, thanks to Scar Potter for this fabulous small still of our favourite Gryffindor at the dinner table with Hermione. I'm assuming this scene is during the Slug Club dinner.
Warner Bros. has released the next Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince trailer! It will be shown attached to the Twilight movie when it is released in the United States on November 21st. Neville appears in Slughorn's Potions class at 27 seconds or so
Thanks to hbpmoviepics for the hi-res screencaps, which you can see in our gallery HERE
Thanks to Lee Scrivens we have two more photos of Matt at Collectormania 14. Have also added a picture of Matt from an unknown photoshoot, and two higher-quality scans of Half-Blood Prince stills we've already seen before. Check out the picture links below:
Apologies, on behalf of Hider and myself, for the extreme lack of updates. Things have been a little hectic in real life for the both of us, but there'll definitely be a lot more effort to update the site more frequently from now on. Hopefully we'll have a new layout soon, as there are a lot of issues with our current one. Stay tuned
While conducting interviews for his new film "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas", producer David Heyman has offered some reasons and explanations to answer several "Harry Potter" fan sites' questions over "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". Through it, it is revealed that the battle at Hogwarts and Dumbledore's funeral have to be eliminated to avoid repetition as well as provide the right ending to this sixth film.
Explaining his reason for the battle omission to Snitch Seeker, the filmmaker spelled out, "The reason why we left out the Battle at Hogwarts is because we have a battle at Hogwarts in the Seventh film and we are avoiding repetition." He then added on Dumbledore's funeral scene, "Dumbledore's funeral was something that I really loved and is a fantastic part of the book and part of me would have loved it in the film. But we decided that while we loved it that what we came up with was the right ending for the film that we had made."
Heyman also gave time to address the impact of characters cut to the last two installments of "Harry Potter" franchise, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" and "Part II". "Inevitably there will be certain things that we will probably have to introduce and emphasize in the Seventh film," he answered The Leaky Cauldron's question. "Before we read the Seventh book there had been things in the earlier films that we had not realized how important they were."
"There was an example in the Fifth film when we were considering cutting Kreature but Jo [Rowling] said to me..."I wouldn't do that if I were you"...She didn't tell us why, but she said we would be advised to keep him. And of course in the Seventh book Kreature is an important character. It has been a while, for example, since we have seen Dobby and I suspect we are going to have to make more of Dobby in Seven than we might have done. I think we have done a pretty good job of what we need in terms of the plot." The written scripts of all the Q&A with Heyman can be read at Harry Potter's Page.
Dealing with a darker matter than previous "Harry Potter" films, "Half-Blood Prince" resolves around the ever growing threat built by the evil dark wizard, Lord Voldermort, to the wizarding world. Being the only one who has survived his attack years before, Harry accompanied by his two loyal friends, Ron and Hermione has to prepare for his ultimate battle while the walls that used to keep him and his friends away from danger may not be a safe haven anymore.
The sixth movie adaptation from "Harry Potter" book by J.K. Rowlings, it stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Bonnie Wright, Michael Gambon, Tom Felton, Alan Rickman, Helen McCrory and Hero Fiennes-Tiffin. The flick coming out on July 17, 2009 is directed by David Yates and written by Steven Kloves.
Thanks to hbpmoviepics and Univers Harry Potter we have three new images of Neville from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. They're all very small, but it's something all the same.
I've noticed some dead links around the place, so as soon as I have time I will make sure to fix these and update some dead pages Watch this space!

Hi guys, we have more pics from DragonCon 2008 (and one from the 2007 DragonCon event), an autograph that I myself received from a friend who attended DC '08, and got me Matt's autograph (personalised!), and finally, a new picture of Neville in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, where he is seen in the boy's dormitory in Gryffindor Tower. It's a small image, but hopefully we'll get a higher quality one soon.
We also have news that Matt will be attending Collectormania Milton Keynes, which will be held from Fri 26th to Sun 28th September 2008. Matt will only be attending on Saturday. You can see the announcement here, and more details about the event here. Thanks very much to Lainey for the heads up!
If you have any pictures of Matt (whether it's from an event or an autograph) then feel free to share it with us on the site and you will be given full credit. You can email me or Hider to do so All contributions are most welcome!
Thanks very much to Lyrena and Hanako respectively, we have more pics of Matt (and also his brother Anthony Lewis) at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S. You can see all 8 photos in the gallery below:
Hanako also got the chance to meet Matt, and she wrote this about him:
Matthew Lewis is also nothing short of spectacular. I sat in two of his panels this weekend and he was very gracious, funny and appreciative of the fans. He talked to my daughters on the phone Friday. He spoke to fans one-on-one and was very down to earth. He posed for pictures at the Yule Ball, after showing up with his brother even though he had said he was not feeling well.
Where Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is concerned, Eric from Mugglenet had the chance to go to a pre-release test screening of the film in Chicago and wrote up a lengthy overview which you can see here (beware: major spoilers!). He mentions Matt very briefly:
The movie focuses on the trio perhaps more than ever, but the surrounding characters are well portrayed. Matthew Lewis as Neville again has a small amount of screen time, but we all know how awesome his role is going to be in the next movie.
I knew that he would have a small role, as his role is very small in the 6th book anyway. For those who don't want to read the spoilery review, I will just say this: where staying true to the book is concerned, it sounds like you won't be disappointed!
During a private session last weekend at DragonCon, Matt answered panel and fan questions that covered various topics, including his favourite shows, actors, movies and books, fan experiences and not surprisingly, the Harry Potter films and books.
Where Harry Potter is concerned, Matt talks in detail about:
• Neville throughout the film and book series (mentioning his favourite scenes to film, as well as how much he can't wait to do Neville's action scenes in Deathly Hallows) • the Half-Blood Prince date change, as well as how much he praised Hero Tiffin's role as young Tom Riddle • stories from the set, including playing ping-pong with Dan Radcliffe and darts with Rupert Grint and pulling pranks on Alfie Enoch (Dean Thomas) • the fact that if he could not play Neville he would have wanted to play Harry (as he is "the hero") • his somewhat traumatic forays into Harry Potter fanfiction • his experience with fans from both the UK and US
You can watch all these videos on YouTube here. The first part is in six segments that together equates to one hour long, and the second goes for five minutes and is in three parts. Enjoy! Thanks Snitch Seeker.
On a related note, someone I know went to DragonCon and met Matt, and she got me his autograph for me, personalised! As soon as I get it (it's being sent from the U.S. all the way to Australia ) I will scan and add it to the gallery.
