I just met Tom Felton…
He was in line for food right infront of me. TOM FREAKIN FELTON WAS ORDERING IN FRONT OF ME. I STOOD IN LINE BY HIM.
HE TOLD ME THAT HE’D LOVE TO HUG ME BUT THERE WAS A STRICT NO HUGGING POLICY…
Here are 2 pics by TeamDavid with a little story about the photos.
Ok so random ass moment when you are in conversation with Tom Felton and you get a tap on your arm. You look over and there is Henry Winkler asking is it alright to jump in front of you for a few moments so he can meet Tom Felton. And you get to pretty much just listen to them converse for a minute about how Henry’s grandson has met Tom a while ago.
I couldn’t say no to the Fonz ok…
Got into a conversation about The Borrowers with Tom yesterday. Firstly he seemed a little excited about it being a VHS. Cause he looked at it and took the tape out and looked at the guy next to him(WizardWorld guy) and is like, “It’s a VHS!” looked back at me, “And its one stolen from a movie place.” Has a sticker on tape saying be kind, rewind.
Then from there I told him I am giving him a break from Harry Potter, but it ended up kinda being about that. Cause I pointed out the irony with that movie. He was pretty mind blown to realize John Goodmans character was named Potter. Hey I was too…and the whole thing of Peagreens father being Jim Broadbent who played Professor Horace Slughorn and Mark Williams role in the movie. It was fun conversation and he seemed excited to get to sign “Peagreen”…
We talked a little about our lovely STL spring weather. Says its warmer then London but I think he spoke too soon. Because today we have a huge snow fall…lol.
In all honesty I did not expect him be so nice.
BTW, this pic of Tom with a little girl in front of his table from yesterday is cute:
Unfortunately, so far we have found only one video of Tom. Please click here to watch it.
And we have many more photos of Tom from his first day at the con. Thanks to all for sharing the photos with us. Here are a few of them, more in our gallery.

Unfortunately, no one had an interest in the French book. After the end of the raffle, we talked about what we should do with the book.
We have decided that we will donate the book to the library in my hometown. My Town has a French partner town, and we thought that it’s a great idea so. Today I was at our library, and they were very happy about the donation.
The person of the library didn’t want to be photographed.
As you know, we from Feltbeats.com have been working with Tom to help support END 7. (We reported here and here about Tom and his support for the campaign of END 7.)
Today, END 7 reveals a new YouTube video showing reactions of celebrities, including Tom, to graphic images of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) and encourage their fans to be part of the solution. Watch it now, but be warned, it is shocking.
As part of the press release accompanying the video, END 7 included a special quote from Tom Felton:
“I have really been impressed with the support for END7 among my fans,” said Tom Felton. “END7 is unique because so little goes such a long way. Through Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, young people can donate and share the campaign with their friends. A simple social media post can make a big impact.”
ASHINGTON, Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — In a hard-hitting new video released today, celebrities from around the world called for support in the global effort to control and eliminate seven diseases that plague more than 1 billion people around the world, including 500 million children. In the video, international actors and musicians witness the devastation neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) cause and encourage their fans to be part of the solution. The video is part of the END7 campaign, the first global public awareness initiative dedicated to controlling and eliminating the seven most prevalent NTDs by 2020.
Emily Blunt (“Salmon Fishing in the Yemen,” “Devil Wears Prada”); Eddie Redmayne (“Les Miserables,” “My Week with Marilyn”); Tom Felton (“Harry Potter” series); Yvonne Chaka Chaka (South African pop star); Tom Hollander (“Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Pride and Prejudice”); and Priyanka Chopra (leading Bollywood actress and international recording artist) are featured in the video. These celebrities join a growing cast of supporters including Katy Perry, Ewan McGregor, Alyssa Milano, Norah Jones, Rosanna Cash, Paula Abdul and Stella McCartney to help raise public awareness about NTDs.
“Until recently, I didn’t even know these diseases existed,” said actress Emily Blunt. “The serious disabilities and suffering they inflict on the world’s poorest people is heart-wrenching. But I was inspired to join the END7 campaign because, for once, the solution is simple and available now. And the cost for treatment is so low that almost anyone can make a big difference by giving just a few cents.”
END7 relies heavily on individuals spreading the word and getting involved through Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. It aims to raise the public awareness and funding required to cover the cost of distributing medicine and setting up treatment programs for NTDs. END7 is encouraging supporters to sign a pledge to inspire global policy leaders and philanthropists to take action and help end these diseases by 2020.
It costs approximately 50 cents to treat one person against the seven most common NTDs for an entire year. Pharmaceutical companies have donated billions of pills to treat these diseases, and many programs use existing infrastructure, such as schools and community centers, as distribution points, making NTD treatment one of most cost-effective public health initiatives available today.
The seven most common NTDs-hookworm, ascariasis (roundworm), trichuriasis (whipworm), schistosomiasis (snail fever), lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis), onchocerciasis (river blindness) and trachoma-infect more than one in six people worldwide, including more than 500 million children. They cause blindness, massive swelling in appendages and limbs, severe malnutrition and anemia. NTDs prevent children from growing and learning. They reduce adults’ economic productivity and ability to care for their families, keeping communities trapped in a cycle of poverty and disease.
“In India alone, nearly 700 million people are at risk for elephantiasis and more than 200 million children are at risk for worm infections,” said Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra. “Through the END7 campaign, we can offer a solution that will change the lives of millions of people living in poverty in Asia and around the world. I am proud to be a part of the global effort to end these diseases.”
The END7 campaign was launched in 2012 by the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases, an initiative of the Sabin Vaccine Institute. Wunderman UK leads the creative direction for the campaign, which includes this latest video along with the campaign’s website, Facebook hub and the previously released “Mission in a Minute” video.
“We are building a movement that allows nearly everyone to play a part in making these diseases history,” said Dr. Neeraj Mistry, managing director of the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases. “Since last January’s London Declaration, we have seen a significant increase in support for NTD control and elimination among global leaders. What we need now is for the general public to get involved in our cause.”
