Tom’s tweets say it all:

last official EVER day as draco malfoy! what a unique 10 years its been! will be sad to take my suit off for the last time!

I will miss the blonde haired little git x

Well that’s it. All wrapped. Goodbye leavesden, hogwarts, childhood, blonde hair and so many friends. It’s been amazing. Quite sad now x

After getting thousands of teary replies from fans, Tom tried to lighten the mood:

Thinking I’ve provoked some teary tweets from you. Didn’t mean to upset! Let’s get back to the positives. DH part 1 not long to wait now! X

And then he reveals what is sure to be feltbeats.com’s next April Fool’s Day news:

well dan and I have talked and we’re both very keen for HP on ice to go ahead. We’ve both been working on our skating hard x

Just to clarify the HP on ice idea was a joke!! Some people take this twitter malarkey far too literally! Only playing x

For all the tweeters that are racking my mind with guilt, don’t cry!! Sorry I mentioned……..it. All good. Lots to look forward to x

In a mark of respect, let’s all take a moment of silence to remember the loathsome, evil little cockroach that is Draco Malfoy.

We’ll miss you, blondie! *wipes tear* 😉

Update from Misha: Feltbeats.com will be hosting a little virtual scrapbook for Tom! On Monday, we’ll be posting any creative commemorative stuff you’d like to send us in honor of our favorite villain! Send poems, artwork, doodles, graphics, avatars, videos, songs – whatever touches your heart that you can get to us digitally! (Please, digital only. I don’t want some three-story granite statue of Draco Malfoy in my driveway! LOL.) You can tweet stuff to @feltbeats or e-mail misha@feltbeats.com. Thanks!

Feltbeats Army video of Tom Felton and friends on the red carpet at WWoHP

As the last of the Feltgirls finally leaves the Wizarding World of Harry Potter today, we now have the first round of video from their camera. Okay, part of that had to do with a crappy hotel internet connection, but this just means we get to spread the enjoyment out a bit more, eh?

First up, don’t blink or you’ll miss TomsFriendDan while David Heyman leisurely gives us his John Hancock.

James and Oliver Phelps, a recalcitrant Bonnie Wright, with our own Feltbeats Admin BSerLori leading the way.

JK Rowling scissoring her way down the red carpet as she quite touchingly recognizes the women from The Leaky Cauldron.

And the reason we’re all here – Tom! It always brings a smile to my face when Tom recognizes the Feltgirls. They even manage to get a ‘hi’ out of Rupert Grint in this one, too.

Thanks to Southernbets for the video, and for those of you that missed them in our live coverage of the event, here are some photos from both her and BSerLori. Later this week we’ll be bringing you video and more photos of Thursday’s press conference and Friday’s opening ceremony.

UPDATE: I can’t believe I forgot to add in the video of Warwick Davis when I did this post. D’oh!
