Now and Then: Matthew Lewis
It's been AGES since I last did one of this - in fact, just under two years. Time do do it again, I reckon. Could do posts about everyone in Harry Potter, but I'm going to start with someone who really has changed a LOT: Matthew Lewis, who played Neville Longbottom in the films.
Cast your mind back to 2001 ... *wibbly wobbly effect and harp music*
Neville's a clumsy little loser, basically, who can't even keep track of a pet toad. He's bad at everything except Herbology, but he still manages to stand up to his friends and say enough is enough. A true Gryffindor, and we love him.
A few years later, he's still a bit goofy and everything, but he's starting to change.
And then, lo and behold, this is him now, ten years later. Can I get a "wowza!" or two? The lad has certainly grown up to be a handsome fellow! :)
Well done, sir! Really well done. Hope we'll see more of you in times to come. Acting-wise, that is. May your career be long and fruitful.
(And yes, I should've perhaps started with Daniel Radcliffe, considering today is Harry Potter's birthday - and JK Rowling's - but I prefer Neville.)

Hot dang indeed! Neville <3
ReplyDeleteWhy, oh why, can I see goofy picture one and goofy picture 2,but work chooses to block the Matt All-Grown-Up photo?!? Evil work... gimme a moment whilst I bust out the phone... Ah! Yes! Well done, indeed! :D
ReplyDeleteI liked how the movie made him a graceful dancer (he wasn't in the book -- I double checked). An improvement on Rowling.
ReplyDeleteWhat I love about the third picture is that look of manliness paired with that incredible look of vulnerability ... while at the same time, strength. It's mesmerising.
ReplyDeleteVABookworm87: Ahh, the joys of work filters ... :]
servetus: Yes, it was a really nice change to see him good at something. Aww, and to think he's the future Professor of Herbology at Hogwarts as well. :)
