Tom Felton Talks With E!Online About The End Of Harry Potter

At Sunday’s MTV Movie awards, Marc Malkin, from E! Online caught up with Tom Felton to talk about how sad the end of Harry Potter will be, and moving on to other projects.

If only there was a spell to make the end of Harry Potter not feel so bad.

Potter star Tom Felton admits next month’s release of the final installment of the wizardy movie franchise, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2, leaves him with mixed emotions.

“It’s sad,” he told me the other day at the MTV Movie Awards. “It’s bittersweet because we’re ending on such a high note but at the same time, it’s the end. It’s going be a very sad, but a very happy day when [the last movie] comes out.”

But is there any—even the slightest—chance there could be another Potter movie down the road?

“I very much doubt it,” Felton said. “The biggest chance of it is like in 20 years time and they remake the movies. I’ll play one of the old guys. I really don’t think [J.K. Rowling] will write anymore books.”

Next up for Felton is Rise of the Planet of the Apes with James Franco and Freida Pinto. “We have a little bit of a scrimmage,” Felton said of playing a villain to Franco’s good guy scientist. “We’re not friends, put it that way.

“But he was a lovely guy in real life,” he said. “I bored him for hours with questions about Freaks and Geeks.”

No word if Felton got an early listen of Franco’s latest project, making music with drag queen/performance artist Kalup Linzy.

MTV Catches Up With Tom Felton After Best Villain Win

Shortly after taking home his second straight Golden Popcorn for Best Villain, MTV News caught up with Tom Felton backstage for a quick word about his latest win.

Tom Felton might not have been interrupted by Mark Wahlberg during his MTV Movie Awards acceptance speech for Best Villain this year, but that doesn’t make receiving the award any less special for him.

“Thank you very much, it’s always exciting to be here,” he said in his acceptance speech. “This is very cool. This will look very nice in my downstairs toilet.”

 

 

When MTV News caught up with Felton backstage after his second straight win, he clarified that his downstairs toilet actually is a pretty important location in his home.

“It’s kind of a prized place in my house, the downstairs toilet,” Felton deadpanned. “Consider it an honor.”

Though he technically came back to defend the Best Villain title for “Harry Potter,” he said the real reason is because he hadn’t yet seen any of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” yet and wanted to catch the sneak peek at the MTV Movie Awards.

“That’s half the reason I’m here,” he said with a laugh.

Since Felton hasn’t seen any of the footage yet, he couldn’t tease how “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” would look in 3-D, but he did say it’s something he’s anticipating.

“I’m very excited,” he said. “I’m not sure if that’s going to add or subtract to my screen presence.”

Thanks to MTV for the great interview!
