Tom Felton to judge short film competition for Robin Hood Tax Campaign

UPDATE: Thanks to Jessica for reading the fine print and finding Tom listed as judging the Age 14-18 Competition.

Their bio for Tom states:

Tom Felton is 22 years old and has been acting professionally since he was 10 years old when he starred as Peagreen Clock in Peter Hewitt’s fantastical tale The Borrowers. When Tom was just 11 years old director Christopher Columbus cast him in the role that was to make him a household name, as Harry Potter’s arch rival Draco Malfoy. Tom has starred in all six Harry Potter feature films. In between Potter shoots Tom has appeared in Johnny Kevorkian’s thriller The Disappeared and has had a cameo role in the soon to be released Get Him to the Greek starring Russell Brand.  Tom is currently filming Todd Lincoln’s The Apparition. When not filming Tom loves music and cricket.

Thanks to Tom’s Re-Tweet of a @RobinHood tweet, we now know that Tom is set to judge a short (and I mean short!) film competition. This is to raise awareness for the UK’s Robin Hood Tax Campaign that Tom has actively been supporting lately.

RT robinhood: Make a short 60-90 sec film supporting the Robin Hood Tax campaign – get it judged by @TomFelton http://bit.ly/b4wMes #rht #films

According to the Robin Hood website:

Make a short film (60 – 90 seconds long) that shows us what you think of the idea of governments taxing the banks to raise money for the poor and the planet.

The Robin Hood Tax is a tiny tax on banks that would give billions to tackle poverty and climate change, here and abroad. The public have bailed out the banks to the tune of £20 trillion in total. In the UK alone the bailout cost £31,250 per person. Isn’t it now time society was paid back?

Our message to governments is clear: “When you tax the banks, don’t just help yourself to the money, make sure the money goes to helping the poor and the planet.”

Another Video of Tom Felton leaving King’s Cross Station on 26 May

Thanks to Rechercheart, we now have another video of Tom leaving King’s Cross station on 26 May. In her notes on the video where she was able to catch a glimpse of practically the entire cast, she mentions it was later that evening when Daniel Radcliffe, David Heyman, Emma Watson, and Bonnie Wright accepted awards for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” at the National Movie Awards.

You can read her notes on the video here at the source.

New Photos of Tom Felton on Platform 9 3/4

Thanks to Scar Potter we have a few more photos of Tom and his co-star Rupert Grint on Platform 9 3/4 as they film the epilogue for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.”

Also included are some back shots of Tom with his Draco!Hair visibly braided down his back, and his onscreen son Scorpius hanging out with the Potter brats (because it was too odd not to include).

Am I the only one who thinks he looks like a young Dumbledore with the beard and long hair?

You can see more new photos of the crowd at dhmoviepics.

Video of Tom Felton with Ben Lyons of E! Online

While Tom was on vacation in Las Vegas last week, he had the opportunity to join in on the premiere of Get Him to the Greek, a film starring Jonah Hill and Russell Brand. Tom had a small cameo in the film that he discussed over blackjack with Ben Lyons of E! Online.

In the interview, Tom discussed doing the scariness of improvisation, how he would like to continue doing comedy after finishing with Potter, and the “wittier than most” Harry Potter jokes he had thrown at him by Jonah Hill.

Thanks to Melissamoo for the find!
