New Interview: Tom Felton Faces The Two Sides of Draco Malfoy
Life Style: Movie Magic Magazine has just released it’s latest issue featuring dozens of pages on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Included are features on Tom, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and Bonnie Wright.
The three page article on the life of Tom Felton includes information about his choir days, his music, his hopes to get out there and fish some more, and why he would love to continue acting.
Some notable quotes from Tom include:
On the comparison of filming and fishing…
“Patience is required heavily in fishing and much the same with the film set. Some days it doesn’t go as fast as you would have hoped or you would have expected. But it’s all about keeping the energy and not only being patient, but just enjoying every minute of it – because sometimes it can be quite easy to slump back if you have an hour or two to wait, and it’s important to make the most of the time with the cast and crew while you’re there.”
On fans confusing him with his character Draco…
“Very early on, some people took very seriously how I was making Harry’s life not pleasant at school and they would plead with me not to pick on him. They seem to associate me with something rather negative which I can only take as a compliment really, I suppose. … I tried to reasure them that nothing was real, and that me and Daniel [Harry] were quite good friends, but it didn’t work.”
And on his hopes for the future…
“I’d love to continue acting. … By the same token, I’m keeping all angles open, really. I’ve been intrigued to do other things. I mean, music has always been a passion of mine, and nature and so forth. I’m not really ruling anything out.”

Other articles feature the actors behind Tom Riddle (aka, Voldie-Mort), producer David Heyman, director David Yates, the designs behind the sets, and the fun and games the fans have at conventions. Also included is a sneak peek into the making of Deathly Hallows which features a lovely interview with Tom’s onscreen dad Jason Isaacs as he recounts begging author JK Rowling to “get me out of [Azkaban] prison.” Life Style: Movie Magic Magazine is available for purchase on news stands through the end of the summer.
Tom Felton as Draco: 1 Out of 6 Ways HBP Will Be Awesome.
Melissa Anelli of Leaky Cauldron fame has written an article on fan hopes concerning the upcoming Half-Blood Prince release for Examiner.com. She discusses Tom’s portrayal of Draco, his humanity, and how nice it will be to see him bringing out the complexity of the character.
VI: Draco Malfoy’s humanity:
Draco has a great role in this film and it’s going to be fun watching Tom Felton rise from starring background player to main actor. Draco turns from one-dimensional childish bully to one of the more complex and interesting characters in the series: he wants to become a Death Eater, and seems to have even been imprinted with the mark on his left forearm. He works all year on a plan to let Death Eaters into the school and kill Dumbledore. He is successful on one part but has a lot of trouble with the second: he is found crying in a bathroom thinking about making good on that task. And when he gets the chance to try it – when he is given the very rare opportunity to do what so many wizards before him, including Grindelwald and Voldemort, could not – his hand falters, his humanity shows.
This play between Draco as uber-evil-Death-Eater and conflicted-boy-who’s-gotten-in-wayyyyy-over-his-head leads to one of the best Dumbledore exchanges in all seven books: The old headmaster, weakened, disarmed and dying, hears Draco insist that he’s at his mercy and says:
“No, Draco. It is my mercy, and not yours, that matters now.”
If the conversation on that tower does not reach this caliber of awesome – revealing the astounding brilliance and yet kindness and mercy of Dumbledore, at the same time as Draco shows himself to be complicated, vulnerable, caught in a terrible place – the movie will suffer dearly.
If author JK Rowling’s reaction to Tom’s performance means anything, I don’t think HP fans have anything to worry about.
