Warwick Davis credits Tom Felton for getting him started on Twitter

In a new interview with Snitchseeker.com, Warwick Davis – who plays Flitwick, Griphook, and several other characters in the Harry Potter franchise – talked about Tom Felton as the reason he signed up for Twitter.

He said:

Snitchseeker.com: Why did you join Twitter?

Warwick Davis: Why did I join Twitter? Because of Tom Felton. It was his fault. (laughs) Not his fault.

We were sitting there on set – we spend lots of time sitting – and I said, “What are you up to there, texting and texting?” and he said, “Oh no, I’m on Twitter.” And I said, “What is this Twitter about?” and then he started to explain it. I said, “They’re interested in what you do?” and he said, “Oh yeah, I’ve got loads of followers.” He told me the app to get and he told me how to do it and I started doing it. It was really good fun. It’s quite interesting collecting followers – “Ooh, I’ve got that many now.”

I follow him and few of the other Potters. James and Oliver are on there. Matt Lewis hasn’t done any tweeting for ages.

So that’s why I did it. I just want to let people know what I’m up to because people are interested. We do these Q&A’s – it’s normally Potter fans. I’ll spend half an hour, because I’m in between whatever I’m doing, and it’s just a Q&A. It’s fun. But it is all the Potter fans.

Snitchseeker.com met up with Mr. Davis while he was promoting his new book, Size Matters Not. It is available from Amazon here.

Happy Birthday, Jade!

Today Tom’s girlfriend Jade celebrates her 23rd birthday, and we at Feltbeats.com would like to give her a HUGE “Happy Birthday!”

Over the years, we’ve celebrated many birthdays related to Tom here: Including our own (we are almost two, awww), Tom’s dog Timber’s (Two years old, Three years old), and of course, a few for Tom himself (21st birthday, 22nd birthday). And this is our second birthday celebration for Jade! Amazing how time flies, isn’t it?

Jade, we hope you have a lovely birthday!

What’s old is new again: Tom Felton photo used as promo for new NAME Magazine

Remember all those Kai Z. Feng photos Tom posed for in 2009? Seems Kai has decided to start his own magazine, and Tom is featured in one of the promo’s released in anticipation of the big event.

According to F.Tape:

NAME Magazine will feature talent from all backgrounds of the creative industry with chic pictorials exposing new and established musicians and actors, as well as contributions from the main forces behind the industry.

Launching as an online title, NAME will constantly be updated keeping readers guessing with every new article.  The focus is to involve readers as much as possible in the blog functionality of the magazine, making it an approachable publication inspiring creative talent to get involved and share their opinions wherever they are in the world.

Right now only photos from Kai’s “archives” are being used for promotional purposes. Could a new, previously unreleased photo of Tom be possible when the magazine sees the light of day?

You can check out Kai Z. Feng’s photography at the links below, or his photos of Tom here in our galleries. My favorite is this one. Which is yours?
