As we have previously reported, Tom was to attend the Stars of T4 event today in London. If you follow his Twitter, you will know that he did, and we now have pictures to prove it!
Had fun at T4. @mattdavelewis got a photo with peter andre….was priceless (extremely witty pun) On my way home now. Quite tired x
Even our friends at @heatworld got into the act when they tweeted us this Twitpic:
Keep checking back as more photos from today’s event become available.
Thanks to the Leaky Cauldron, there is a new preview video featuring a quite camp Daniel Radcliffe extolling the virtues of the Ultimate Collector’s editions of the Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets. Within the short video are a variety of behind-the-scenes clips from Half-Blood Prince. At the 30 second mark you can catch a glimpse of Tom smiling at his friend Daniel accompanied by Argus Filch actor David Bradley on the set of Slughorn’s Christmas party.
I won’t say what they do to Tom in the clip from Prisoner of Azkaban. The sound effects had me laughing too hard. 😉
Thanks to @queensarcasm and others, we now have scans of Tom’s interview in the latest issue of Mizz Magazine (Twitter | Web site).
In the interview, Tom discusses Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, his future after the franchise, and how he supports FILMCLUB (Twitter | Web site).
You’re filming the two final Harry Potter movies at the mo – can your reveal any secrets whatsoever from the set?
“Well, I can’t give too much away, only that we’re shotting some very exciting stuff. I’ve been banned from telling anyone what scenes we’re shooting but I can confess that last week was the first time that I got to work with the Dark Lord, Voldemort, and we had a lot of fun on set working with him and his presence. So there’s lots to look forward to! This is really going to be the final, epic chapter in the story, so anyone who even partially liked the last film is going to definitely love these ones.”
Ever worry about your movies getting bad reviews?
“I personally don’t go searching, not that I don’t appreciate the comments or opinions of other people – I like to hear what the fans have got to say. I confess that I have a very good girlfriend who manages to email me all the best ones but I get quite a biased opinion of the films! I remember speaking to one of the Harry Potter directors, and we both said, there’s going to be so many pros so many…. [leaves cons unsaid!] Because there’ll be thousands of reviews, people are gonna love a film, or they’re gonna hate it. You just have to take what you can from it, really.”
What’s next for you once the Harry Potter movies are finally over?
“I’m not sure, really! Doors are opening and it’s an exciting time. There are a lot of emotions around the finale of Harry Potter… I’m slightly nervous, ’cause you don’t know what’s going to happen next. I’ve got quite comfortable in the role at Hogwarts, so I don’t know, really! I’m certainly madly passionate about films so I’m looking forward to getting some more challenging roles and hopefully portraying someone who doesn’t have bleach-blonde hair! Maybe I can go for something more natural, because eight years of this is testing!”
You’ve recently been supporting FILMCLUB – a free after-school club where teens can watch films together. Tell us more…
“I think it’s a fantastic initiative. Getting young people into films is a great idea, but FILMCLUB’s idea of getting them into films as a group is even better. It’s a great way for them to interact with other people their age and see what’s out there.”

UPDATE: See below for a translation of Tom’s interview. Thanks to Feltbeats Army member Erika for sending it in!
Thanks to our friends at Snitchseeker, we now have scans of the latest issue of Dutch Magazine Het Nieuwsblad. Tom and Harry Potter co-star Bonnie Wright were interviewed in their latest edition, and it even includes new photos of not only Tom, but Tom on the Weasley Wizard Wheeze’s set! We don’t get to see that very often. 🙂
The interview itself is completely in Dutch, but we do have this one snippet of Tom in English talking about his good friend Daniel Radcliffe and their mutual love of cricket. If you are able to translate the entire article for us, please, let us know!
Tom Felton: It’s good to be the villain. I think every actor likes to play a character that is miles away from yourself. But in reality, Daniel Radcliffe and I are very convergent. We share the love for cricket. Even if we try to murder each other with spells, we are brothers together in Daniel’s dressing room next to watch cricket matches on TV. We sometimes play cricket, but the film company is quite concerned that Daniel gets a ball in his face. So, the ball is not hit in his direction. ”
Scared fans!
Tom Felton: On set it is fun to play the baddie. But then you have to accept that some fans are scared of you. Everyone finds Bonnie, Daniel, Emma, Rupert sweet and fun, but I was booed once when awarding a kid’s award. Well, that just means I play my part really well! If you can scare kids like that you are doing a good job. Fans under the age of 7 really do not trust me at all. When they grow older they begin to understand that I am not as mean as Draco is.Bonus Material on DVD!
Tom Felton: I really like watching the behind the scenes interviews on Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince! They are fun memories, and they are smart enough not to show too much so that the magic never really disappears.The very last scene!
TomFelton: We still have a couple of months to shoot. The last scene we will be shooting probably will be the one from 19 years later! I am looking forward to see how we will all look.Bonnie Wright: I am looking forward to going back to King’s Cross to shoot because that is where I shot my very first scene 10 years ago. I had no idea what acting was all about then. All I knew was that I was freezing.
Tom: Together we spent more thn 10 years on set. we grew up here together. It will be strange to say goodbye.
Bonnie: Who knows maybe in 10 years we be holding a reunion. What happened to all the actors? Or we will all be playing in Harry Potter: the Musical (laughs).
Tom: Or we will all be gliding on skates in Harry Potter on Ice. Though I think J.K.Rowling would thankfully put a stop to that.
