Warner Brothers has sent us a high quality photo of Tom not really appreciating what’s for dinner in the “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.” The photo was printed in the latest edition of Entertainment Weekly, and for those of you as deeply into the Malfoy world as we are, you couldn’t help but notice what Harry was holding so determinately next to his mouth on the cover – Draco’s wand. I will admit I bought a copy of the magazine just for that. 😉

Harry and Draco’s Wand!

In related news, Feltbeats has also received a report from one of our Japanese correspondents, Yuzu, in regards to the HP7 countdown that took place across the island country. While the videos portrayed at the event did not contain anything new in regards to Tom *sobs!*, it’s still great to hear what happens when Potter fans get together. Thanks to Yuzu and our sister site, Our Dearest Tom’s admins Chinamin and AO-Chan for being on the Blonde Watch for us in Tokyo!

Japan-based countdown event to HP7 was held in 5 cities, Tokyo, Sapporo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka on 11th, August. I attended the event in Tokyo, which was held in Shinjuku-Picadilly movie theatre. The theatre was full of fan and medias. There were some cosplayers too.

First, they showed us the looking-back digest from HP1 ~ HP6, then “new footage” from HP7. But that “exclusive new footage” seemed to be the same official trailer which you can see on Youtube now. Next, video letter from Trio was presented. In the video, they greeted Japanese fan, announced HP7 part 1 will be released on November, they are proud of being involved in HP series for so long, and let us look forward to it. Then, they showed us behind-the-scenes footage. Our Dearest Tom‘s co-admin AO-chan said we can see the same video on Youtube too. But I enjoiyed it. There is a scene Trio is chased by a snitch. When they filmed this scene, both Trio & camera crews made a ran like sprint games. It was interesting. I also impressed by some crew’s words “All roads lead to Hogwarts.”

After that was a lottery time. Some children won the small prizes. At the end of the event, one cosplayer(wearing Harry’s cloak) was chosen as a starter, and she(maybe) put on the countdown
clock for HP7.

It seems Tom’s been practicing his golfing skills for a reason lately. According to an exclusive from the Hollywood Reporter, he’s in negotiations to play a golfing hustler in “From the Rough”, a film based on the real-life story of the first female head coach of a male collegiate golf team.

Ving Rhames and “NYPD Blue” star Henry Simmons have been cast in Gyre Entertainment’s indie sports drama “From the Rough.” “Harry Potter” regular Tom Felton is in negotiations to join the film, as well.
Pierre Bagley is producing and directing the project, which stars Taraji P. Henson as Cassandra Turner, a women’s swim coach at an African American university who gets a shot at rebuilding the men’s golf team. The real-life story is inspired by Dr. Catana Starks, the first female head coach of an NCAA Division I men’s team, as the golf coach at Tennessee State University.

Simmons will play the upper-class director of the school’s athletic department that bumps up against Turner’s blue-collar approach. Rhames will play Roger, a veteran maintenance man at the college who knows everything about everyone on campus. And Felton, who is an avid golfer in real life, will play Edward, a British golf hustler whom Turner recruits for the team.

Michael A. Critelli wrote the screenplay and will be an executive producer along with Kevin E. Hooks. The film is scheduled to begin filming in New Orleans in early October.

Rhames, repped by Innovative Artists, recently appeared in “Surrogates,” “The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard” and “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry.” He next stars in Dimension’s horror revamp “Piranha 3D,” which swims into theaters Aug. 20.

The APA-repped Simmons has recently appeared in the features “World’s Greatest Dad,” “Madea’s Family Reunion,” “Something New” and “Are We There Yet?”

Repped by Troika in the U.K., Felton has played Draco Malfoy in all of the “Harry Potter” movies, the last two of which will be released by Warner Bros. in November and July. He will also appear in the Fox reboot “Rise of the Apes” next summer and the Warner Bros. horror-thriller “The Apparition” next September.
