Tom Felton in magazine ONE

The magazine ONE has published so far for each Harry Potter movie a special issue. Also this time, the magazine appeared in Germany and France. (I don’t know about other countries). In the magazine are pics of the film, interviews with the cast and a review of 10 years Harry Potter.

Thanks to Sabkay for the scans.

Translation of the interview:

Tom still has problems, to say goodbye to Draco Malfoy. He gave this dark figure an almost likeable note. The actor talks about the end of this saga, about Daniel Radcliffe and their plans for the future.

One: From today sight, what do you think about the Harry-Potter-Phenomenon?
Tom: I think the saga of JK Rowling did help to change the movie world. With the success of her novels she convinced the big Hollywood studios that it could be profitable to produce adaptations of modern literature. Because of her, we can see films like Hunger Games in the movies. Without the success of our films no one would ever take the risk to adapt these books for the movies.

One: What are your feelings now that the saga is finally over?Tom: The problem is, that it doesn’t feel like it’s really over! Everybody ask me this question, but right now, we’re all doing promo for the last movie, so that I don’t have the feeling that all is over. We see us so often, answer questions from the press and we’re going to pre-premieres. But I think, I’ll be very sad at the time everything is over. It will bring me to tears.

One: Could you imagine to return one day with anyone from this saga?
Tom: I talked with Dan about it and we came to a decision: We would only shoot together under the condition, he is the villain and I would be the nice guy! (laughs) Only exception: If there would be a remake in about 20 years, then I’d like to take the role of Lucius.

One: You said often, that you didn’t want to live from acting. Is that still a plan?
Tom: It’s true, that I wasn’t sure for a long time. That’s normal, I was young and most teenager don’t know what job they’d like to have for the rest of their life. But today I’m pretty sure that I want to be an Actor. But one day I’d like to direct a movie. I watched David Yates, the Director of the last four movies of the saga, and he woke my interest with his passion for directing. Today I’m into all kind of Sections in a film production: Sound, camera, stunts, it is quite a fasciniating work, because the Director has to watch about all of it.

One: What are you thinking about Draco in the last Movie?
Tom: I’m really sorry for him. All of what he believed in is gone. It’s just like somebody pulled the rug away under his feet, he totally lost his balance. In narrative terms it is deeply interesting, because the scriptwriters try there very best in the last six years to put this figure in a bad light as possible so that the audience has no pity with him. But at least you’re able to see, what he had to go through in his childhood and so one is inevitably touched. Draco was bullied and one understands better why he let out so much of his frustration in Hogwarts. I really hope, that the audience will feel pity for Draco. For me, Harry and he are two sides of a coin. You can see, what Harry make through his positive influence from his Friends and look, what Draco is able to do in sight of his past. Even if he tries, to get away from the bad influence of his parents, he can’t escape the surroundings in which he grew up.

One: In the last film are a lot of scenes with Deatheaters. How was the filming amongst all these great British actors?
Tom: The audience should know, that this is the British Actor Elite. The thought, to play side by side amongst them, scared me a lot. I’ve feared that i wouldn’t be up on their level. Normally I played with actors in my own age and Draco was even the leader in his group as the villain. And now I was between a lot of evil-minded people and Draco was totally bullied. The moment I was between all of these famous names, some of them even have a title of nobility, i was so scared! The first days I was afraid to talk for saying something stupid. Even they were all absolutely nice to me. Just to watch them do their work was so cool. Helena Bonham-Carter was incredibly. She taught me a lot and is a little like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: On the outside she’s the perfect English lady, who is simply in her own world. But for the camera? She’s mad and really scary.

We also have 2 scans of Tom from the last 2 German BRAVOs. In issue 32, he was with his clothes TOP and in the latest BRAVO they published the Tom / Rupert scene at the premiere of Tom’s new film “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”.

 

Tom Felton has a video message for the German fansite HP-Fans.de

Jonas Hahn from the German fansite HP-Fans.de spoke with Tom at the EA Games press day. During this interview, they recorded a video message by Tom for the team and the members of the site. By the way, the site is now 10 years old. Congratulations!

They also spoke about the EA video game and Germany.

Tom, you have a huge fan base in Germany. You were also already there …
Yes, Germany is really great. I wish I could come back pretty soon.

That’s exactly my question. Have you any plans?
It is unfortunately still not certain. I wanted to come two times to visit and each time I had to cancel at short notice due to filming. But I have another request for this autumn. Hopefully it works this time, that would be cool!

Tom, I didn’t know that you’re also a big video player. Until now it was thought that only of the Phelps twins.
Constantly any designers and programmers were on set with us. At some point I’ve thought, I look at the games. And at the last adventure I’ve become slightly addicted. I think they’re really well done, very scary and exciting action-packed. It’s great to walk through Hogwarts and gamble the missions.

Were you involved in development?
A little bit. We had already recorded my text passages some time ago, so that I didn’t need it this time. But once I was in the studio and looked around, what the guys and gals producing here. There’s really a great effort behind such a game.

Is there a favorite character for you?
In the last adventure here it’s in fact Neville.

Because he changed from a shy nerd into a hero?
Right! His role evolved fantastic and Neville is such an important part. He was always underestimated.

Tom talks in the interview about a request for Germany in autumn. This is the fantasy convention RingCon in Bonn/Germany (we already reported) – Click on their site for more info.

Video: Tom Felton stays loose at Teen Choice Awards

Tom talked with MTV News at red carpet about his presenting an award.

‘Harry Potter’ Star Tom Felton Stays ‘Loose’ At Teen Choice Awards
‘If it’s over-prepared … it’s not going to be any good,’ he tells MTV News of presenting an award.

Felton also presented the Choice Movie Actress award alongside Christopher Mintz-Plasse. As a relative newcomer to the awards-show circuit and first-time Teen Choice Awards presenter, MTV News asked the “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” star how much he had prepared for his big day.

“If it’s over-prepared, you see sometimes that it’s so clearly scripted, and it’s not going to be any good,” Felton said. “I’m trying to stay loose at the tongue and see what comes out.”

Still, he had planned a bit of a skit with Mintz-Plasse to make their presenting duties memorable. When they came out onstage, Mintz-Plasse told Felton that he had a fling with one of the five nominees but had been avoiding her for a while. Felton comforted him by saying that there were five potential winners, so the odds of Mintz-Plasse’s lady being chosen were pretty low, but it turns out that winner Cameron Diaz had been the slighted lover all along. After a cute interchange with Mintz-Plasse, Diaz accepted her award.

But that wouldn’t be the only time Felton was called up to the microphone that night. He won the Choice Villain award for his work in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2,” and then he and Grint took the stage to accept the Choice Summer Movie award for the “Potter” cast.

“It’s been nearly 11 years since we were cast, so thank you so much for really sharing the journey with us and making these films such a success. None of it would have been possible without you guys,” Felton said in his acceptance speech.

The last we saw of Grint and Felton, the man better known as Ron Weasley had crashed the “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” premiere wearing a shirt proclaiming his love for Felton. When asked if he was excited to see Grint again at the Teen Choice Awards, Felton had to stop himself from expressing his eagerness.

“Don’t — you’ll get me started then I’ll be gushing,” he said with a laugh.
