Here is a nice article from the Daily Express, examining the various Potter kids and their changes of success after their roles in the biggest movie franchise in history are over.

According to PR Guru Mark Borkowski, Tom is the “one to watch”! Click on the images below to read the analysis of the other Potter kids.

Tom Felton, 23

WHEN HE STARTED: Tom had a remarkable amount of experience for a 13-year-old before the Potter films came along. As well as adverts, he’d appeared in the films “The Borrowers” opposite Jim Broadbent and “Anna And The King” with Jodie Foster. He auditioned for Harry and Ron before casting agents decided he would be best as Hary’s bullying, bleach-blond nemesis Draco Malfoy.

WHAT ELSE HE’S DONE: “After the Potter films I’m looking forward to playing a good guy, someone not so spiteful,” he said recently. In fact he’s done a slew of low-budget film parts alongside Potter and has bagged a plum role in the new sci-fi prequel The Rise of the Planet of the Apes. He has also recorded an album, “In Good Hands.”

EARNINGS TO DATE: More than 3 million pounds but he has admitted to not handling his money well and having a few tussles with the taxman.

WHAT’S NEXT? According to PR guru Mark Borkowski, Tom is the one to watch. “He’s ahead of the game,” he says. “He’s already done some interesting shorts and his new Planet of the Apes film will redefine him. Because there is less pressure on him than the others he’s exactly the sort of person to come out of a big franchise well.”

Thanks to The Independent, a UK newspaper, we have this new interview with Tom. They talk about what it’s like for him to be starring in TWO huge blockbuster summer films at the same time.

With the Harry Potter valedictory lap, replete with fans declaring their childhood officially over and photo-montages tracking its junior cast from pre-teen to young adults, finally over, people may be surprised that the franchise’s first youngster onto their next blockbuster role, isn’t Harry, Hermoine or Ron, but their scheming nemesis Draco Malfoy, aka actor Tom Felton, with his lead role in new prequel Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

“They moved the Apes release date forward,” says the hugely personable 23-year-old amid a whirlwind three weeks publicising both movies, “which means it’s considered a good enough movie to take on Harry Potter, so to be included in both is very cool.”

Unlike many fans – or indeed some cast members – Felton seems liberated rather than traumatised by Potter’s finale. “It seems like the first time ever that I’ve been free really, and able to do what I want to do,” he says happily. “I’m definitely more excited than terrified.” And with two further films already in the can and several more auditions to come, it’s clear why.

Not that Apes is a departure from his Potter villainy, Felton playing another “nasty piece of work”, though he’s unfazed by notions of typecasting. “I embrace it actually and would happily play villains for a long time. I’m a huge fan of Ralph Fiennes and Alan Rickman and those guys have made great careers playing bad guys. If I could have half their career…”

‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II’ and ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ are in cinemas nationwide.

In (what I call) the “Harry Potter” clip, they show scenes from various Harry Potter movies, and, as they do so, they go through what the different Harry Potter actors won. It’s like putting all the awards in one bag and giving them away at once, like Christmas. The Avatar chick and Thor are Mr. and Mrs. Claus… and here you have it, the “Harry Potter” clip:

CONGRATS GUYS!!! You truly truly deserved every award!!!
