UPDATE: See below for a translation of Tom’s interview. Thanks to Feltbeats Army member Erika for sending it in!

Thanks to our friends at Snitchseeker, we now have scans of the latest issue of Dutch Magazine Het Nieuwsblad. Tom and Harry Potter co-star Bonnie Wright were interviewed in their latest edition, and it even includes new photos of not only Tom, but Tom on the Weasley Wizard Wheeze’s set! We don’t get to see that very often. 🙂

The interview itself is completely in Dutch, but we do have this one snippet of Tom in English talking about his good friend Daniel Radcliffe and their mutual love of cricket. If you are able to translate the entire article for us, please, let us know!

Tom Felton: It’s good to be the villain. I think every actor likes to play a character that is miles away from yourself. But in reality, Daniel Radcliffe and I are very convergent. We share the love for cricket. Even if we try to murder each other with spells, we are brothers together in Daniel’s dressing room next to watch cricket matches on TV. We sometimes play cricket, but the film company is quite concerned that Daniel gets a ball in his face. So, the ball is not hit in his direction. ”

Scared fans!
Tom Felton: On set it is fun to play the baddie. But then you have to accept that some fans are scared of you. Everyone finds Bonnie, Daniel, Emma, Rupert sweet and fun, but I was booed once when awarding a kid’s award. Well, that just means I play my part really well! If you can scare kids like that you are doing a good job. Fans under the age of 7 really do not trust me at all. When they grow older they begin to understand that I am not as mean as Draco is.

Bonus Material on DVD!
Tom Felton: I really like watching the behind the scenes interviews on Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince! They are fun memories, and they are smart enough not to show too much so that the magic never really disappears.

The very last scene!
TomFelton: We still have a couple of months to shoot. The last scene we will be shooting probably will be the one from 19 years later! I am looking forward to see how we will all look.

Bonnie Wright: I am looking forward to going back to King’s Cross to shoot because that is where I shot my very first scene 10 years ago. I had no idea what acting was all about then. All I knew was that I was freezing.

Tom: Together we spent more thn 10 years on set. we grew up here together. It will be strange to say goodbye.

Bonnie: Who knows maybe in 10 years we be holding a reunion. What happened to all the actors? Or we will all be playing in Harry Potter: the Musical (laughs).

Tom: Or we will all be gliding on skates in Harry Potter on Ice. Though I think J.K.Rowling would thankfully put a stop to that.

On The Other Side of the Mic: Tom Felton interviews Fellow Hogwarts Students

Never thought Draco Malfoy would work alongside Good Ol’ Rita Skeeter, did you? Well, in this interview from the HBP DVD, he sure does (except he’s not manipulative, inventive…er, I think I should stop now, before I get carried away). Enjoy the interview:

Update from Lilyginny27: There’s a second part to this sneak peak of What’s on Your Mind? as hosted by Tom for the HBP DVD. Listen as Tom gives us a bit of an Irish history lesson while channeling Hermione, what everyone would like to fix in the world, and what is their favorite sport. While he picks on Daniel in the first one, Emma seems to get the brunt of it in the second-half.

A Dramatic Tom Felton Is Interviewed In This Week’s BRAVO Magazine

Thanks to Feltbeats Junior Admin Estrella89san and FeltonFan Sabkay for scanning and translating the latest issue of Germany’s BRAVO Magazine which features an interview chockful of insight into Tom’s plans after Harry Potter. In the interview, Tom mentions work on his upcoming album, posing for the “extreme” photos in DRAMA Magazine, and his hopes in attending college like co-star Emma Watson after he finishes filming in April, 2010.

On the Cinema Screen, he’s playing the mean Boy Who Stands on the Side of the Evil. Thus we know Tom Felton, which makes the life of his schoolmate Harry Potter as Draco Malfoy hell.

But now there are Pictures appeared in the British “Drama” Magazine, which show him completely differently. In former times he wouldn’t have dared photos like that. But now, SURE! And that’s not the only Change in his life, that Tom told BRAVO….

Bravo: There are some really crass Photos of you appeared…

Tom: Oh yes! (Laugh) The Pictures are totally crazy, or?

Bravo: Yes, but also a bit extreme. Why did you take pictures of such kind?

Tom: I wanted to try something new and show people that I’m not only the guy from the Harry Potter Movies. Most of them are thinking that I’m still 12 years old. I became recently 22. I grew up, want to test my border now and change – even if it will shock the people.

Bravo: Would you please tell us from the Shooting: Was it fun, being a Model?

Tom: Fun yes – But a real Model, that’s nothing for me. Just let me say: I did behave very oafishly while they were Shooting… (laugh)

Bravo: What did you think, as you saw the Pictures the first time?

Tom: I was totally surprised. But afterward I’m really happy, that I jumped over my Shadow and trusted myself.

Bravo: Will you jump over your shadow at the Film set and play other Roles?

Tom: Off course! After the end of Harry Potter I will do really new things. All offers, at which I would normally say: ‘No, I don’t want to do this’ – that’s the roles I want to play! It is just like a fight against me!

Bravo: For your role you needed your hair bleached for years. Will you change that?

Tom: Even if I’m used to the blond hairs now, after the filming of Harry Potter in April 2010, I will not bleach my hair any longer. So, now it is public! (laugh)

Bravo: what are the changes which coming up?

Tom: So much! At the moment I’m working on some songs and a new Album, which will come out in the next winter. I love to sing and playing guitar.

Bravo: What is more important to you: Music or Acting?

Tom: I would like to combine both. I’d like to play in films, but I would love to write the soundtracks for the movie, too. That is my biggest dream! Although, there is one more thing….

Bravo: And that would be…?

Tom: I’d like to study

Bravo: Really? Did you make a request already?

Tom: Yes, and there are a few Universities that would take me. But they are not as Ivy League as Brown, where Emma is going. Apparently she is smarter like I am! (laugh) Nevertheless I hardly can wait to start.

Bravo: Sounds like you would enjoy being again in School.

Tom: Strange thing, but Yes! In school days, I did hate school, but I have changed extremely!
