Thanks to Anna Lowman, who works with FILMCLUB, we now have all sorts of media goodness for you of Tom Felton at the Young Film Critics Awards. According to Anna, Tom Felton “was there to present two awards to FILMCLUB members Phoebe Lawrance and Rosemary Collins.”

Congratulations to the two lucky ladies [Pictured above with Tom Felton]!

Also, we now have video from the Young Film Critics Awards!

And last, but definitely not least, here is a short interview:


You are here today at the Young Critics Awards, giving out awards to two FILMCLUB members who have reviewed films on the site. Do you read your own film reviews?

Yes, it was a great honour (to give out the award) I personally don’t go searching, not that I don’t appreciate the comments or opinions of other people, I like to hear what the fans have got to say. I confess that I have a very good girlfriend who manages to email me all the best ones but I get quite a biased opinion of the films! I remember speaking to the director of the Harry Potter films and we both said, there’s going to be so many pros and so many(cons)…because there’s going to be thousands of reviews people are going to love it, or people are going to hate it. You’ve just got to take what you can from it really.

What do you think about FILMCLUB?

I think it’s a fantastic initiative. I think FILMCLUB…a getting kids into films is a great idea but the idea of getting them into films as a group is even better. I’m actually quite a lonely go-er to the cinema, I go quite often by myself but nothing beats going with a group of people. Even if people disagree with what you think of the film its kind of good. You kind of learn who you are by going to films with different people really. I think it’s a great way to interact with other kids and see what’s out there.

Feltbeats would like to thank Anna Lowman very much for allowing Feltbeats to use these goodies! Thank you.

Enjoy, everyone!

UPDATE Wizarding World of Harry Potter News & Interview Featuring Tom Felton

UPDATE From Lilyginny27: Thee webcast can now be viewed in its entirety by clicking here. Tom can be seen starting around the 4:00 mark. As soon as the video is available for embedding, we will let you know. You can see a few more screencaps of Tom in the video by clicking here.

As Feltbeats.com has previously reported, Tom was an invited guest today at Universal Studio’s unveiling of the new attractions and release date for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Theme Park. Feltbeats.com Admin BSerLori was invited to attend the event, and has already given us the written synopsis of what was learned.

While the full webcast is not online yet, this video was taped on the Gryffindor set we have pics of Tom sitting on. In it is an introduction to the park by President of Universal Creative Mark Woodbury, Show Producer Paul Daurio, and Art Director from the films Alan Gilmore. Watch as they describe the park with a brief cgi “fly-through” of what it will eventually be.

Tom has been very excited about taking part in the unveiling of this new Harry Potter attraction, and his remarks are just the first of what will undoubtedly be many praising the parks features. Tom was even interviewed by the New York Times concerning the park.

Wizarding World is already receiving rave reviews from at least one contingency: the actors from the films. Tom Felton, who plays Harry’s towheaded nemesis Draco Malfoy, has visited the property twice, once when construction was just getting started and again in recent days.

“We always say on set, ‘If this place was real, it would be absolutely fantastic,’” he said in a telephone interview. “To actually walk into this world and be able to touch it and taste it and smell it – well, it’s just going to be fantastic.”

One potential aspect that will make the park more exciting for the fans is the possibility of the actors being seen in some way. According to one source, News4JAX:

There could even be new footage of Potter stars shot on actual sets from “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” and “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” A Universal spokesman declined comment on the issue, but the company was explicitly granted those privileges in its 2007 licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Consumer Products Inc., according to the contract filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Whether any of this potential footage will feature Tom as Draco Malfoy is still anyone’s guess. Once the webcast featuring Tom expound on the glories of the new park is made available online, we’ll let you know.
