UPDATE: 83 beauitful, high-res photos from the exhibit can now be seen starting right here!
Deathly Hallows notes from the fansite Exhibition interview with Matt Lewis:
- Matt has the script for Part 2 and will begin shooting next week.
- "The scale of it is enormous," he says of Part 2.
- Neville is "a bloody and battered resistance leader - a battle hardened veteran."
The East Coast premiere of Harry Potter: The Exhibition opens in Boston, MA on Sunday October 25, 2009. MuggleNet staff member Kat was able to preview the Exhibition this afternoon and also attended a roundtable discussion with actor Matthew Lewis.
We learned that Matt goes back to work for Deathly Hallows next week and will be filming the final battle scenes soon.
Matt also said that after seeing his own dancing shoes in the exhibition he recalled a scene that had been cut from filming in Goblet of Fire...
"I can't dance. They told me Neville is a good dancer. My partner was Bonnie, Ginny Weasley, and we learned the waltz. Which wasn't too difficult, I was okay with the waltz. You follow it back, to the side, back, to the side. That's easy, I can do that. Then we had to learn a tango. Now you see the other guys, like Dan & Rupert, they were fine because they were told they were supposed to be rubbish. It was supposed to be uncomfortable. Neville however was supposed to look like Fred Astaire. And so we did this tango, and we spent months on this tango and you know I have got two left feet. It was totally embarassing and Bonnie was probably cringing herself, but she was pretty good. And then we never even shot it, we never even did it. We never even got around to filming it. So that reminded me, with the dancing shoes."

Too bad that Matthew feels that he cant dance. And too bad that the scene was never filmed. He probably dances better than he thinks and it would have been a hoot to see everyone being so shocked at Nevilles grace and poise.

thats funny, about the tango...poor matt, it sounds like it was a lot of work and nerve-wracking. oh well. it wouldve been nice if they had filmed it though, even if it just ended up in the deleted scenes. its a funny scene in my mind, anyway.

Did I make a mistake or did someone else make a mistake? I just saw screencaps from the movie HBP. I thought they were going to show photos from the exhibition.

awwww how disappointing for matt, but at least now hell know how, dancing is a good skill for a man to have and you never know when it will come in handy.

LMAO! Thats hilarious about the dancing! I love the part in GOF when it shows Neville dancing by himself in the common room though. I really want to go to the exhibit in Boston! I wonder if theyve expanded it at all! I dont even care...I just want to go! It looks bloody BRILLIANT!

I saw the exhibition in Chicago, and I absolutely loved it! The only bad thing is no photography allowed...then they charge $30 for the souvenir book. I thought that was a complete ripoff, especially when I looked through the book and saw that the pictures were not that good.

LOL... "battle hardened veteran" I cant wait... I love Neville in general, but he kicks butt in the last book, sooo cant wait for the decapitation of Nagini :) yey Neville!

I agree with Alem. Looking forward to the decapitation of Nagini. Slash, Neville, Slash away!!

the exhibit sounds amazing. the local dj on the radio said she went and saw matt walk by. she also explained that if you were ANY sort of HP fan it was well worth the trip. I may think about going on Vets day holiday. But it does sound like the souvenier book is a bit much! thanks for that bit of info!

anyone else having problems viewing some of the photos? there is about 10 pics I couldnt see & then I just gave up. I love the "souvenier" shop!!! All the items are great. Love that they have the tri wizard cup and some of the proclamations from OotP!!
