Here’s a funny photo of Tom Felton at a recent convention show, where he signs autographs for thousands of fans.
You can see that he’s been scribbling on the paper that’s covering the table in front of him, and most noticeably, playing Hangman. Thanks to Feltfans, we have figured out his Hangman answers:
– Love Actually
– The Damned United
– Get Him to the Greek
Also, one of the hanged men appears to be complete or nearly complete, and you see a little quote coming from the man that appears to say, “Ow.”
“Ow” indeed!
Click on the photo to enlarge and see if you can read the table. What do you think he wrote?
Tom Felton has left this morning to to fly to LA to attend the MTV movie awards, which will air Sunday, June 5 at 9 p.m. and be hosted by Jason Sudeikis at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, Calif. Have a good flight, Tom!
While we wait for the awards to start, we can now finally update you on where Tom is sitting at the show! Like last year, there is always much speculation about where stars are sitting – for example, it said that sitting in an aisle seat is a good sign (it makes it easier to get up to accept an award).
And, I’m extremely excited and happy to report that, like last year, Tom is again in an aisle seat! Check it out:
Empire Online is posting interviews with various Harry Potter actors, as part of their Harry Potter Ultimate Movie Celebration: “Another day, another video interview with a Potter-ite to explain what you can expect from Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2. Today it’s the turn of Tom Felton, who’s as friendly as his character, Draco Malfoy, is dastardly.
This is all part of our Harry Potter special, an interview we did with Felton during the shoot for our Harry Potter Ultimate Movie Celebration.”
Here is the video interview portion:
In addition, there was a longer, written interview as well:
What was your last scene? There were a couple. One of my last scenes as a group was us, 19 years on, on the platform at King’s Cross. That was really quite fitting, because one of my first scenes was as a 10 year old being put on the train there, ten years ago literally to the day, so it was really weird and suitable that that fit. My very last one was a night shoot on 2nd unit just by myself. I was shot walking away after the battle, I believe, so again, that was really nice because there’s always a tighter feeling with the 2nd unit crew.
Well, the crew have been with it as long as all the actors. Yeah, and the 2nd unit even more so: a lot of them have been there longer than the first unit so we had a great time on that last shoot. Dom Fish, the first assistant director, gave me a very charming send off and I made sure that as soon as I got a wrap I was gone, because I knew I would start blubbing like a girl.
Did you have a favourite scene on this one? The end battle is obviously the fight; everyone was looking forward to it and it was just months and months of ripping each other’s heads off. Personally I was excited about the nineteen years later bit. I’m so grateful that Jo wrote me in that part, because I can’t wait to see all of us when we’re 40.
In the last film you’ve left school and you are very much in with the Death Eaters which means you get to spend screen time with some amazing actors. Have you learnt a lot from those guys? Very much so! That was the cool thing about these last few films compared to any previous ones. I’ve always been in among the kids looking sneery, whereas in this one I was really the only child amongst the realm of evil. When you see that call sheet in the morning, it’s great. You’ve got Alan Rickman and all these, literally, knighted actors and you think, “Oh my god”. I spent two days in pure silence not saying anything to anyone out of pure fear! It was a very cool few days filming. Watching Helena was one of my favourites I think.
There was a lovely moment at the Empire Awards one year when you were both there and she immediately went into Bellatrix mode. I always get really taken aback by that! It’s all very different when you’re working together, but when you’re outside work you always think, “I wonder if they still have a clue who I am”. And she literally pounced on me! I’ve learnt a lot from her. She’s the complete Jekyll and Hyde, if you will: she’s the sweetest British lady and slightly in her own world and then when the cameras roll she goes berserk, which is amazing. It’s brilliant to watch. I could name more: every single one of those actors has been incredibly nice to me, which makes a big difference.
It’s a really interesting journey for Draco through these films. When you leave him he’s almost lost, something that he’s believed in for so long has gone. Yes, it’s been swept out from under his feet. It’s a really hard writing task: the idea is to spend six years getting the audience to dislike this character, to certainly have no empathy for him whatsoever, and then within two years to show how the bully is treated at home and why he is like that. You see him get put in a few unfortunate circumstances so I’m hoping by the end of it you really feel quite bad for the kid. Daniel and I have often talked about it as being two sides of a coin: Harry with all the great influences, look what he can achieve, and Draco with the exact opposite and trying to fight the fact that his parents couldn’t be a worse influence. Let alone Auntie Bella and everyone else around the table!

It’s disconcerting to meet Tom Felton and Jason Isaacs in the flesh. On screen, they so embody the nasty, conniving Draco and Lucius Malfoy that it’s positively disorienting to find them both charming. “Lucius is a delicious character; I could play him forever,” smiles Isaacs. “There were so many layers to peel back. Tom has to evolve as well – you see him unshackle himself from the man I’ve tried to make him, which is quite inspiring.”
“I’m hoping by the end of it you really feel quite bad for the kid,” says Felton. “Daniel and I have often talked about being two sides of a coin: Harry with all the great influences, and Draco trying to fight the fact that his parents couldn’t be a worse influence, let alone Auntie Bellatrix.” But how’s their twisted little family in real life? “He has been literally quite like a father,” grins Felton. “He took me under his wing from a very young age, he taught me probably more than anyone on the set.”
Isaacs, meanwhile, has nothing but praise for his on-screen son. “Tom is already a magnificent actor, but he always wants to learn and discuss what he’s doing – as do I, by the way. I’ve watched him mature into a really sophisticated storyteller. It’s been great.”
