Matthew Lewis, Neville Longbottom, in the Harry Potter movies recently took part in a fan chat in which he discusses what he is looking forward to filming in theDeathly Hallows movie, the fans and movie set high jinks.
Some snippets from the interview:
Q: What's the funniest thing that's happened to you on set?
Matt: There has been so many funny days on set, where we can't stop laughing. Everyone at the studio likes pranks and making jokes. You wouldn't think it was a serious Hollywood film if you came to visit, we laugh and joke so much! I remember one time on Prisoner of Azkaban when we were in the Great Hall. We were all supposed to be asleep whilst Dumbledore and Snape watched over us. Alan Rickman and Michael Gambon were both in character, doing their lines and then suddenly somebody farts! At first, everyone is being professional and nobody laughs. Then it happens again. A few ripples of laughter breakout. It happens again. And again. And again. By this point the whole room is laughing. Alan and Michael were still trying to do the scene but eventually even they had to stop. Turns out someone had hidden a fart machine in one of the sleeping bags and Alfonso Cuaron (the Director!) had the remote control and was in hysterics behind the monitors. That was pretty funny!
Q: What scene are you most looking forward to filming for Deathly Hallows?
Matt: Deathly Hallows is going to be so much fun to shoot. I don't have a script yet so I can't be exactly sure how everything is going to work out. However, I think my answer will be a bit predictable! The scene I'm looking forward to the most is when Neville swings the sword and kills Nagini. That is going to be intense! In fact, the whole final battle sequence is going to be amazing. Still can't believe they're going to trust me with a sword though!

Glad to hear from him. He is one of those forgotten actors and characters. But as JKR has a way of doing, it comes back to surprise you how important his character is.

It's always great to hear from Matt. I am sure he is going to do an amazing job with DH --- I predict it will be the break-out performance that will get him noticed outside the HP world.

Witty interview,very amusing.If memory serves me right,I think it was in Dan's sleeping bag that the fart machine was hidden,it was mention on the PoA DVD interview of Alfonso Cuaron.Can't wait for them to start filming DH already and I'm sure the final battle would be awesome on screen.

Great interview to read! Matt doesn't get too much exposure and it was good to read about his opinion of things.
I had heard about that scene in the Great Hall with Alfonso setting off that machine before but it was great to get it from Matt's view point. Oh to have been a fly on the wall on that day.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

I read about that in a magazine once. It was hilarious with that in the third film. I couldn't stop laughing. I can't wait for him to be in the seventh film with the scene with nagini. I can't wait for it.

*laughs too* I remember that behind the scenes moment and the victim was Dan! That's really funny!
I agree with Matthew that his best moment would be Neville's killing of Nagini and I can't wait to watch that!
