Matt: My favourite thing was the Sword of Gryffindor, because it’s Neville, really. Neville wondered why he was in Gryffindor from the very beginning, they didn’t think that he would amount to anything, but only a true Gryffindor can pull that out of the hat. Also it’s a sword so it’s really cool, I felt like a Jedi for a bit. I always wanted to be that when I was younger, so definitely the sword of Gryffindor.
I love how she kind of poked him. So cute!
EVANNA: I’ve been obsessed with these books since I was eight so I don’t really know what I was before that or what’s gonna come next. I’ve heard they’re opening a Harry Potter Experience thing where Leavesden was, so… I’m free as a tour guide.
EVANNA: I really feel so lucky yo have played Luna, because she was always my favourite character. I think she’s such a really… good role model, because she’s… she’s perfect, but she’s not trying to be perfect, she’s herself.
“It’s as Yates said, lightning doesn’t strike twice. I think really one of the reasons that I think Harry Potter works is it’s culturally specific but it’s thematically universal. It’s about love and death and loss and friendship and loyalty and good versus evil. We all know characters like Harry, Ron and Hermione, we’ve all had teachers like Dumbledore or Snape or Lupin… We haven’t known too many Voldemorts, I hope. But these are people who are not… yes, they’re British, but I think they’re relatable to people all over the world.
