Mark Malkin interviews Tom Felton in this E! Interview. They talk about Robert Pattinson, life after the Harry Potter movie’s “passing” – It might have something to do with vampires… – Daniel Radcliffe’s Equus/HarryPotter Crossover rumors, and PARTIES!

Here’s the Interview:

Tom Felton, the villianous Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies, can’t avoid it.

All anyone wants to know about these days is what was it was like to work with Robert Pattinson when he played Cedric Diggory in two Potter flicks.

“Obviously, we met a few times and had the old chat, but I don’t recall going that deep with him,” Felton admits from New York City, where he’s promoting the DVD release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. “He was tremendously professional on-set and a great laugh.”

But best of all, Felton says, Pattinson’s Twilight success is “proof that there’s life after Harry Potter.”

As we all know, however, we haven’t seen the last of Hogwarts. There are still two more movies to go in the series. Number seven is in the can with about six months of filming to go on the last.

Felton is quick to quash rumors that they’d end on a more adult note with scenes featuring—ready for this?—a naked Daniel Radcliffe.

“I read that the other day, and I was like, ‘What the hell is that about?’ ” Felton said. “I haven’t seen Dan walking around naked—not on the set anyway. The changing room is a different thing—I’m joking. No, I hadn’t heard anything of it. Dan hasn’t mentioned it.”

But the final wrap party definitely will be like no other. “In previous years, we’ve had kind of timid parties…We were all kind of 13 years old,” Felton said. “Finally we can have a decent party! I’m pretty sure Dan put it in his contract.”

Tom Felton dishes about Deathly Hallows in new MTV interview

In a new interview from www.mtv.com, Tom discusses how David Yates plans to handle filming of the epilogue for Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows

Perhaps the two biggest questions surrounding “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” the two-part finale of J.K. Rowling’s book series, are how filmmakers will handle the author’s flash-forward postscript and what in the world Potter-philes will do when there are no more novels or films to look forward to.

The answer to that second question remains to be seen. But what will director David Yates do about the ending? Following the epic Harry vs. Voldemort smackdown, Rowling jumped ahead almost two decades to catch up with her characters in the future. For the big-screen adaptation, does that mean older actors will portray Harry and the rest of the grown-up students? Or that the young stars will be aged through makeup effects or CGI technology?

 

 

No decision has been made, according to Tom Felton, who plays peroxide-blond villain Draco Malfoy. “We haven’t shot that yet, and I still haven’t had the confirmation whether I’m doing it or we’re going to get someone else to do it,” he told MTV News while promoting the DVD for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” “I haven’t heard too much. I guess they’re still making decisions about it now. It is a very exciting scene. I know Daniel [Radcliffe] and I have talked about it and said it’d be a lot of fun to do.”

Back in July, Yates told us he was gunning to use Radcliffe and the rest of the cast for the postscript through the use of technology similar to that employed in “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.” “There’s something extraordinary about the audience’s knowledge of them when they were this high and then seeing them where they are 38,” he said. “There’s something really beautiful about that circle, so it has to be them. I think if after seven or eight movies, we recast them in that last scene — we all thought, ‘No way, we can’t do that.’ ”

While Felton joked that he’d be cool with having Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio step in to play an adult Draco, the British actor maintained that he’s looking forward to seeing what he will look like 19 years in the future. “It’d be kind of freaky to see what they come up with,” he said.
