As an actor, you’re job is to be somebody else and I love that, I love the challenge of playing somebody else. When you’re playing the same character for so many years, it can get quite tedious but I was quite lucky with Neville in terms of he evolves so much over the years that every time I come back, it’s like playing someone else. Look at him, he can do spells now, he’s not as shy as he used to be, not as vulnerable, stands up for himself, stands up for his friends, every year just bringing a little more into it, a little bit more, and adding layers and that is even more challenging than playing someone else completely.

“Neville helped me grow up as much as he’s helped people who’ve watched the films. When I first started, Neville and I were very similar: shy, chubby-faced boy. There was very little acting in the first couple of movies. That’s just me. But as he grew, so did I. And the thing about Neville is this amazing message that J.K. Rowling did for him. This message of evolution. Neville’s bullied, he’s scared of his own shadow. No one ever thinks he’ll amount to anything. And here he is in [“Deathly Hallows — Part 2”] saving the Wizarding World. It just shows you that, no matter how your childhood is, it doesn’t define you.”
all was well.
