Feltbeats Army Member Raffles Tom Felton Portrait For Queensland Flood Relief

Feltbeats Army Member, and Australia native @Rotae is raffling one of the amazing Tom Felton portraits that she has drawn, to raise money for flood victims in Queensland. A talented artist, she is the creator of our very own Feltbeats logo. More info from Rotae:

Over the past week flooding has absolutely devastated the southern part of the state of Queensland, Australia. 75% of Queensland has been declared a disaster zone, an area twice the size of Texas and over five times the size of the United Kingdom.

The Queensland Government has launched an appeal to help fellow Queenslanders affected by the recent floods. Many communities have been devastated. Some families have lost everything.

In the hopes of helping out, I’m raffling off a portrait I drew of Tom Felton for his 22nd Birthday in 2009 with all proceeds going to the Premier’s Flood Relief Appeal.

You can donate any amount. Any monetary donation up to $5 will receive one number in the draw, and donations up to $10 will receive two, with the numbers going up in $5 increments. Both Australian and US $ are accepted as they’re basically the same thing at the moment anyway. I decided to do a raffle as opposed to an auction as now people can donate whatever they have to spare.

As you can see, it doesn’t go right to the edges of the page and sorry about the reflections off the picture, LOL. I’ll be cutting the binding area off too :)

As the appeal is not currently listed on any charity websites, I’m accepting payments and will be depositing all donations directly through my account – I’ll be posting screenshots of the transfer when it’s done. My email address is rotae_lupin@hotmail.com. Please make sure to put what name you wish to be acknowledged with in the notes if it’s different to your payment name.

The raffle is open for one week starting as soon as this post is up, so we’ll say until Thursday the 20th of January 18:00 AEST.

Thank you in advance for your support and generosity. Please share this wherever you feel appropriate.

Peace,
Rotae

If you would like a chance to win this beautiful portrait of Tom Felton, please donate. Thanks 🙂

Ashley Greene Talks Tom Felton In New MTV Interview

In a new interview with MTV, Ashley Greene is asked to compare her “Twilight” fans compared to Tom Felton’s “Harry Potter” fans:

MTV: While filming “Apparition,” did you and Tom Felton ever compare notes about “Harry Potter” and “Twilight” fans?

Greene: Not so much comparing the fans as acknowledging how incredible they are. We are both so lucky to be a part of franchises that have ignited such a passion in young people. Very few actors get to be a part of that experience, so it’s humbling.

Tom Felton, David Heyman, and David Yates Speak With USA Today

Recently, Tom, and two of the notorious “David’s”, from the Harry Potter franchise spoke with USA Today about the last 10 years of filming and what it means for this tremendous franchise to be coming to an end:

Actor Tom Felton has played Draco Malfoy, Harry’s nemesis at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, since the first film —Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone— in 2001. He and the core cast — including Daniel Radcliffe as Potter, with Emma Watson and Rupert Grint as his pals Hermione and Ron — return for one last time.

“One of the greatest gifts that Jo Rowling and the whole franchise has given (the actors) is that we can really end up making a kid’s night just from saying hello,” Felton says. “I was 12 when we started shooting; 13 when it came out. I’m 23 now. It’s been a long journey.

 “You don’t see people growing up, not when you’re there. It’s only when you look back at the films. … Look at Daniel! He was bloody tiny. My face was like a basketball. But those angelic features seem to have left me,” he jokes.
