Thanks to the lovely and talented @rotae, we have this cute little (shall we say diminutive?) article about Tom Felton at Supanova in Australia. They report that over two days more than 20,000 fans showed up at the show, and “most of them were there for one reason: Tom Felton.”

But what’s the deal with them calling him “diminutive”? I think in Australian that must mean “badass.” No other explanation.

Draco’s a Supa star attraction

MORE than 8000 popular culture fans poured through the gates at the RNA showgrounds yesterday for the Supanova convention.

And most of them were there for one reason: Tom Felton.

The diminutive Harry Potter star, who became a household name playing villain Draco Malfoy, had hundreds queuing for most of the day for him to scribble his name on their possessions.

Hamilton’s Bella Panettiere was one of the lucky fans who managed to brave the crowds for a quick chat.

“It was fantastic to meet him,” the 16-year-old said.

“He was so lovely and down to earth, he asked how I was and said how much he loved Brisbane. It’s great to know he is so committed to his fans.”

Bella and her friends waited more than 90 minutes to see him, which is much less time than fans would have spent on Saturday, with crowd numbers exceeding 15,000.

Last month Tom Felton gave SugarScape an interview. Now it’s published – enjoy it!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: part 1 is out on DVD this week – hurrah! We grabbed the opportunity to chat to Tom Felton about his life as Draco Malfoy, and what he’s planning on doing now that Harry Potter is coming to an end. *sniffle*

We thought – and we’re sure you’ll agree – that Tom was very charming. He’s clearly very clever, and likes to have a chat. Before the interview even began we were chatting away about coco pops and fat men on the train. It was fun.

He talks about how much being in Harry Potter has changed his life – and resulted in him being asked some ridiculous questions about Draco Malfoy…

…he tells us about how Alan Rickman is ALWAYS Snape, and about all the exciting stuff he’s got coming up now he’s finished with the Harry Potter franchise, including his music…

…he even talks about his dog. Which is, of course, lovely. We’re glad he shared.

And here is the video of the interview:

MC Chris’ from Supanova / Melbourne birthday was on Sunday. Right before the Q&A began everyone incl. Tom sang for him “Happy Birthday”! Thanks to moonblader and mikymowse for saving it for us.
