As we announced yesterday, Tom was scheduled to appear on Sky Sports Cricket AM today. On the show, Tom discussed growing up on the set of “Harry Potter” and equating the end of it to graduating from college, watching and playing the cricket as a couple with his friend Daniel Radcliffe (who he admits knows more on the strategy and stats than he does himself), and being a bowler for his brothers while playing with their own personal net in the garden. Tom also mentions towards the end (after everyone does not ignore his inadvertent remark on being in a couple with Dan *snerk*) his work with cricket charity “Chance to Shine.”

Tom Felton is scheduled to appear LIVE at 9am on Sky Sports 1 Cricket AM tomorrow, July 31st as part of Harry Potter’s 30th Birthday celebrations. Yes, Harry’s turning 30 according to canon!
According to the Cricket Am (or do they mean Quidditch AM?) website:
As part of Harry Potter’s birthday celebrations, Matt and Sarah-Jane are joined in the studio by none other than Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy in the cinematic serialisation of JK Rowling’s fantasy novels.
Draco – the seeker for Slytherin no less – is a dab hand at Quidditch but can Tom match his feats on the cricket pitch? And what’s it like to be part of a global phenomenon? We’ll find out.
Tom is joined on the sofa by a star who has produced plenty of wizardry in the middle for England – Mark Butcher.
As soon as video is made available from this live broadcast, we’ll let you know.
Tom Felton chats with AccessHollywood.com’s Laura Saltman about the end of the “Harry Potter” movie franchise, but what’s it like watching himself grow up on screen? Also, Tom talks about working with Ashley Greene on “The Apparition” and more.
The two-part film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final installment in the hit series, is edgier, grittier and may be seen as more shocking than the previous few films, says Tom Felton, who plays villainous wizard student Draco Malfoy.
“This isn’t going to get a little edgier, this is going to get a lot edgier,” said Felton, 22. “The audiences that may have been suitable in the first two films are going to be quite radically shocked in this one, I think.”
“The stuff that I’ve shot was certainly a lot more grittier, I don’t want to say hardcore but they’ve taken it to a whole other level with the action sequences and the battles. It’s a lot of fun,” he said
In the final movie, whose first installment is set for release on November 19, Harry Potter, played by Daniel Radcliffe, faces off in a final battle against his nemesis, the evil wizard Voldemort.
Felton, who was not originally cast as Malfoy and kept his hair dyed blond since he first played the character in the first film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (called Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone outside of the United States), when he was about 14, says he is “honored” to be a part of the franchise.
“To say it’s been a privilege is a massive understatement,” Felton said. “I’m hugely honored to be a part of this. I’m incredibly grateful. I’ve never gotten used to it. I’m hugely grateful to all the fans who have kept us going.”
Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, says he has begun filming Rise of the Apes, a prequel to the popular Planet of the Apes sci-fi movies, and also finished shooting a movie with Twilight’s Ashley Greene.
“I’ve just started shooting Caesar, Rise of the Apes, which is the Planet of the Apes prequel, which I’m mega, mega excited about,” Felton said. “It’s a project that I’ve been really passionate about for a long time.” … Felton, 22, also recently filmed a movie called The Apparition with Ashley Greene, who portrayed the vampire Alice Cullen in the Twilight films. Felton said the project was “a kind of science thriller with an ounce of horror.” …
