I must confess I don't own Harry Potter DVDs. My parents do. They have them all. And they like watching them. They've got all their home videos done in HD quality! They love it.

It's just been such a bubble I've been in, with these promotions. — Matthew Lewis

Theater gave me the confidence to believe I could play something else, 'cause it was so difficult. It was me out of my comfort zone.

And I'm very keen, now, to take what I learned there into more television and film. — Matthew Lewis
