Tom Felton in the Hero Complex at LA Times

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.

It’s officially been six days since Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince premiered in New York. If you were around and watching then, you know we kept you up to date as quickly as possible when we turned the site into a Live Blog for the event. Now we’re here to wrap it all up in a pretty bow to present to you all New York coverage in one place.

For more pics of Tom in New York, check out either our press gallery, or the photos from Feltbeats Army members on the scene (the Feltforce) gallery.

First up, some videos from the press line.

Tom doesn’t appear in this one until approximately 7 minutes in.

And now we see him talking with some fans!

For even more fan reactions to Tom as he walked by the crowd, you can check out these other videos on YouTube.

And just for a laugh… Did he wear the same shirt to his GMTV spot? Regardless, this is a hoot. Watch me.

British GQ, Riley, Oscar(!) & more Tom Felton in print

As we mentioned in our previous post, Tom is featured in the August issue of GQ, the British version. While we’ve already seen most of the quotes from the small blurb on him, it is interesting to note that he’s read Dramione fan fiction… and didn’t seem turned off by it.

Thanks to Tomsgal for the scan. Click on the pic for easier reading pleasure.

In other print related photo news, Snitchseeker received the following scan taken of a random Canadian newspaper. It includes three new photos from his Canadian press junket shoot that we kept you up to date on during Feltbeats Live Blog HBP premiere coverage. Do you know which newspaper this is from? Leave a comment and let us know.

And to keep those rumors of Tom being Riley in Twilight’s third installment Eclipse alive, we have this short article from today’s Hollywood Crush. Oscar, what?

Maybe its his boyish good looks, his charming smile or his perfectly mastered snarl, but there’s something about Tom Felton that makes us want more. The “Harry Potter” star is sure to wow audiences with his tortured portrayal of Draco Malfoy in tomorrow’s (!) “Half-Blood Prince” and maybe even earn some Oscar buzz now that the Academy Awards have opened themselves up to 10 nominees.

But, there is a different sort of buzz going on from a fan circuit often found opposing “Harry Potter”: “Twilight” fans are clamoring for Tom to play Victoria’s lackey Riley in 2010’s “Eclipse.”

Tom isn’t the first guy “Twilight” fans have latched onto for the role. First Melissa Rosenberg, screenplay scribe for “The Twilight Saga,” threw a curveball when she told E! News she pictured Channing Tatum as Riley in the epic battle at the end of “Eclipse.” Then, Evil Iguana Productions fans rampaged the comments section of the article begging for Craig Deering to be cast as the role of Riley. Tom is one in a long line of fan-favorites to play the role, but he is quickly becoming the most popular.

“Ill be ready when they want me! Really, I’m only joking. Im not really sure at this point; but you will be the first to know if I find out anything!” Tom told his fansite, Feltbeats.com. He reiterated the sentiment on his Twitter, saying, “i keep getting asked if im being cast as Riley in Twilight! Ill let you all know if so!!!”

If Tom does make the cut, he will join Robert Pattinson as the second actor to make the jump between series, though newcomer Jamie Campbell Bower is also going to be joining the fray as Caius in “New Moon” and Gellert Grindelwald in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” Part 1 and 2.
