Random Tom Felton in Harry Potter News is Random, Except for the New Pic

Eerily enough, as I was writing this post, a new portrait of Tom was released by Oclumencia. This is a higher quality photo that was previously released in a collage-styled spread via one of the many Harry Potter calendars on the market. Quite an auspicious beginning to a Harry Potter related round-up post, isn’t it?

Over this past week, Feltbeats.com shared loads of Tom Felton related news with you, but once again we came across some items that were Harry Potter related news, and yet were not necessarily Tom news at the same time.

For those of you not yet aware, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I” will not be released in 3D format, but only in 2D. According to a press release from Warner Brothers, “despite everyone’s best efforts, we were unable to convert the film in its entirety and meet the highest standards of quality.” As someone who bemoaned the delayed release of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” I applaud this decision made by the company, and wish them all the best in focusing their 3D conversions on the final epic installment of Part II instead.

Additionally released this past week via Warner Brothers were character banners of the major players in “Deathly Hallows.” While the Malfoy’s were conspicuous in their absence, that didn’t stop some fans from minding the gap so to speak, and bringing young Draco to the party anyway. Who knew Draco could crash a portrait party as easily as he could Slughorn’s Christmas party? 😉 I’ve included the original photo below so you can see how good a job the fakester did on the manipulation so it would look like the others. Unfortunately, the poster text used at the bottom was the dead-giveaway; it is not the same as that used in the other posters.

Last but not least, we also have larger, higher quality scans of Tom as Draco in a previously reported about “Deathly Hallows” Calendar along with a scan featuring Tom from the Harry Potter: Film Wizardry Book as released by its Brazilian publisher, Saraiva. You can see those, along with the previously mentioned character portraits and scans of Tom, below.
