Thanks to Melissa for pointing out this second half of Tom’s latest MTV interview. I’m “working” and can’t watch so I’ll let their synopsis speak for itself:

“Harry Potter” star (and recent MTV Movie Awards winner) Tom Felton has seen his star rise steadily since first gracing the big screen as Draco Malfoy in “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” Fans have watched the young actor evolve from a one-note bully to a complicated and sometimes vulnerable villain.

When MTV News caught up with Felton at the opening of Universal’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park, we asked him about Draco’s growth over the course of the eight films, as well as whether he thinks his character is really all evil.

“From my character’s point of view, a lot has been left to interpretation,” Felton said, pinpointing an important-yet-subtle moment from the final film, in which Draco is tasked with the painful decision whether to help or hinder his nemesis’ progress. “[There is] one take where you want to help Harry. The books, I think, kind of left it up to the interpretation of the reader, really, so one way you internally want to help him, the other side where you’re just confused, so I’m intrigued to see which bits David [Yates] cuts out of it.”

Regarding Malfoy’s not-so-bad, tortured side, Felton said “Potter” creator J.K. Rowling helped him understand a softer side. “Jo always talked about him as being vulnerable,” Felton said. “Most bullies are. They’re actually hugely insecure and have their own problems, and he has the worst parental guidance of any child I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Felton added that when he and Daniel Radcliffe have discussed their characters’ dynamics, they see them as two sides of the same coin. “Harry has these great influences, even though his parents have passed,” Felton said. “Draco, he’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t, really. He’s kind of stuck.”

I’ve never been so thankful Draco Malfoy is a blond. It makes it so much easier to find him!

You can see Tom for a second around the 2:00 mark.

From Misha (so as not to attribute my stupid remarks to Lily, haha): Thanks @skykingcat and @CathleneGriffin for the screenshot! I was trying to get one myself, but got sick of watching Ginny/Harry kissing over and over (kept accidentally pausing there!) and gave up. By the way check out the emotion on Tom’s face – that there’s some actin’ right there, boys and girls.

Thanks to the DailySnitcher for the link!

Thanks to BSerLori and her press pass for these new photos of Tom and the gang at the Opening Ceremony of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Once again we can blame the storms in my area (and a late term paper. oops) for the lateness of this post. Also, thanks to Southernbets for letting her borrow her camcorder for all these videos of the park. Thanks, lovely’s!

I see you!

First, the internet connection at the hotel was being naughty, and then thunderstorms and tornadoes knocked out my internet and then the power. What was a girl to do when they had videos and new pics to post featuring Tom? Remind myself you’ve all seen most of these anyway, and that patience is a virtue for those of you (us) that waited. Patiently.

From the press conference at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, we now have photos and video taken by our own BSerLori of Tom, his co-stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, the Phelps twins, that Bonnie girl, Michael Gambon, Warwick Davis, and Matt Lewis, the producers of the film and the heads of Universal Orlando.

While many of you have seen these videos at other sites, here they are from a front row position. You can catch parts two and three at the source.

Our second set features a lot of ginger, the sword wielder, Mr. Matthew Lewis of Leeds, and the man who wants it, Mr. Warwick Davis. Catch parts two and three of our squadron of Gryffindor’s at their respective links.

The last of the press conference features all those Big Wigs behind the scenes – the producers, the designer, and the park coordinators. You can catch Part 1 and Part 2 of their sessions on YouTube.

Many thanks to BSerLori for not only working the camera for the above videos, but also taking still photos at the same time. You can see more pictures from the press conference here in our galleries.
