Earlier this morning, Tom Felton appeared on New York’s CW11 Morning Show. Tom discusses Draco’s crummy up-bringing (sorry, Lucius – I know you’re a big Feltbeats fan), the Wizarding World theme par and how his character progresses into the next film. He always admits that his favorite Potter scene ever is the Harry/Draco dueling scene in Chamber of Secrets!
In one of my favorite interviews ever, Tom Felton is asked YOUR Twitter questions by Self.com. I thought it was interesting that, while answering the gummy bear question (which I’m sure I stole from someone else, so credit to you, whomever it was!), he mentioned that he had seen all our questions on Twitter as we recommended them to Self.com! Next time we’ll have to send the questions via a private e-mail so he is more surprised and caught off guard. 😉
Also, I think it is very important that Tom finally addresses the vicious rumors regarding poor Stanley. Now we can finally put our questions to rest!
Tom has confirmed today via Twitter that he is indeed appearing live on the CW11 Morning Show this morning at 8:20 AM.

Scholastic.com posted a new interview today featuring Tom Felton and Bonnie Wright. They share their thoughts on JK Rowling, parts they wish they could have filmed, and how important their roles have become in the final book.
Q: Are you both happy about the way your parts got more important in the last book?
Bonnie: Yeah I definitely was happy where J.K. Rowling took the character of Ginny. I think if we were all told at the first film where our characters would end up, I don’t think any of us would have imagined. It’s just really enjoyable and sort of unnerving at the beginning when you do read the last book.
Tom: Seriously. When that came out I was like, I’m not going to read it. I’m going to wait for the script. I don’t want to be reading bits in the book and thinking I can’t wait to do that and then find out it’s not going to be featured. And that lasted about an hour, and within it being released in a day I read the whole thing!
Q: Is there any particular scene from any of the books that you wish you could have filmed but wasn’t filmed?
Tom: They cut out actually very little. There was a thing in the second film where Jason [Lucius Malfoy] and I did a scene at Borgin and Burkes and it was the first time that it was father and son together. And that answered a lot to me why Draco is like that. Unfortunately it was never featured in the film. It was on the DVD as a deleted scene, so I got to watch it, which was cool. But no, everything else we’ve shot. Especially on these last two [films]. Everything — when I read the book I thought, “I can’t wait to shoot that.” It’s all there, so we’re very excited.
Q: How would you describe J.K. Rowling?
Bonnie: I always find it so surreal meeting her. This whole world literally is because of one person.
Tom: She’s a very unassuming down-to-earth lady, the most lovely lady. I was always taken away by how genuine she seemed, and how unaffected by the fact that she’s probably the world’s biggest author.
Q: In Harry Potter 6 everyone’s in love except Draco.
Tom: Oh what’s that? Can you believe it! I didn’t even realize all this stuff was going on because I was doing the whole evil walk down the corridor thing and when we saw the film everyone sort of. . .of course I’m jealous! I like to think Draco had offers but he was too busy with his evil task at hand.
Bonnie: Or they weren’t good enough.
Tom: This was it. Very high standards for Draco. I can’t imagine why any female on the planet would want to spend the day with him.
Q: Which of the other actors do you look up to?
Tom: I look up massively to Dan [Harry], Rupert [Ron] and Emma [Hermione]. I think they hold the fort single-handedly so well. They’re all superb actors and they carry the feature through beautifully. And they deal with it like it’s nothing! I know we’re all here quite a bit, but they’re here religiously. Endless days, and yet Daniel takes it all in his stride and absolutely loves it. I always admire watching him on set.
