Earlier today Tom Felton was interviewed by BBC Radio 1 reporter Edith Bowman who broadcast live from the site of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.”
Thanks to “Zen,” we now have audio of Tom’s interview!
[audio:bbc.mp3]Edith also uploaded several pictures of her and her staff on the set which you can see here, here, here, and here.

The LA Times has been doing an article a day for weeks now leading up to the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and they quite rightly saved the best for last. Today’s article in the Hero Complex features an interview with Tom where he discusses working with David Yates and Michael Gambon, filming the Astronomy Tower sequence with the “cream of British actors,” typecasting, music, and the future.
On working with Michael Gambon:
TF: I was obviously very scared about having a one-on-one scene with him. But early on we met up and we got on really well. He’s a character beyond character, anyone will tell you that. He’s got more stories than an encyclopedia and he’s a wealth of knowledge and comedy. It’s just a joy to be around him. Every time there was a break, I would take it as a good opportunity to have a cup of tea with him, asking questions and stuff like that.
What he will miss most:
TF: The whole cast and crew. It’s a great atmosphere when we’re all there together on set. I suppose we wont’ have that again. I’m sure we’ll keep in touch, but we won’t all be under the same roof. I got on very well with young Daniel. We’re both cricket fans so there’s plenty of cricket chat going on between the pair of us. There’s no one I don’t get along with. We all click rather well.
His future plans:
TF: I have a couple of film projects in the run. “In Between the Waves” is a film I’m hoping to do next spring. It’s about two boys, two keen surfers who travel around Europe on a mad surfing road trip. I used to skateboard, and I’ve been snowboarding, and I’ve been told that if I can do those, I’ll be all right. But I’ve never been on a surfboard.
