Never thought Draco Malfoy would work alongside Good Ol’ Rita Skeeter, did you? Well, in this interview from the HBP DVD, he sure does (except he’s not manipulative, inventive…er, I think I should stop now, before I get carried away). Enjoy the interview:

Update from Lilyginny27: There’s a second part to this sneak peak of What’s on Your Mind? as hosted by Tom for the HBP DVD. Listen as Tom gives us a bit of an Irish history lesson while channeling Hermione, what everyone would like to fix in the world, and what is their favorite sport. While he picks on Daniel in the first one, Emma seems to get the brunt of it in the second-half.

A Dramatic Tom Felton Is Interviewed In This Week’s BRAVO Magazine

Thanks to Feltbeats Junior Admin Estrella89san and FeltonFan Sabkay for scanning and translating the latest issue of Germany’s BRAVO Magazine which features an interview chockful of insight into Tom’s plans after Harry Potter. In the interview, Tom mentions work on his upcoming album, posing for the “extreme” photos in DRAMA Magazine, and his hopes in attending college like co-star Emma Watson after he finishes filming in April, 2010.

On the Cinema Screen, he’s playing the mean Boy Who Stands on the Side of the Evil. Thus we know Tom Felton, which makes the life of his schoolmate Harry Potter as Draco Malfoy hell.

But now there are Pictures appeared in the British “Drama” Magazine, which show him completely differently. In former times he wouldn’t have dared photos like that. But now, SURE! And that’s not the only Change in his life, that Tom told BRAVO….

Bravo: There are some really crass Photos of you appeared…

Tom: Oh yes! (Laugh) The Pictures are totally crazy, or?

Bravo: Yes, but also a bit extreme. Why did you take pictures of such kind?

Tom: I wanted to try something new and show people that I’m not only the guy from the Harry Potter Movies. Most of them are thinking that I’m still 12 years old. I became recently 22. I grew up, want to test my border now and change – even if it will shock the people.

Bravo: Would you please tell us from the Shooting: Was it fun, being a Model?

Tom: Fun yes – But a real Model, that’s nothing for me. Just let me say: I did behave very oafishly while they were Shooting… (laugh)

Bravo: What did you think, as you saw the Pictures the first time?

Tom: I was totally surprised. But afterward I’m really happy, that I jumped over my Shadow and trusted myself.

Bravo: Will you jump over your shadow at the Film set and play other Roles?

Tom: Off course! After the end of Harry Potter I will do really new things. All offers, at which I would normally say: ‘No, I don’t want to do this’ – that’s the roles I want to play! It is just like a fight against me!

Bravo: For your role you needed your hair bleached for years. Will you change that?

Tom: Even if I’m used to the blond hairs now, after the filming of Harry Potter in April 2010, I will not bleach my hair any longer. So, now it is public! (laugh)

Bravo: what are the changes which coming up?

Tom: So much! At the moment I’m working on some songs and a new Album, which will come out in the next winter. I love to sing and playing guitar.

Bravo: What is more important to you: Music or Acting?

Tom: I would like to combine both. I’d like to play in films, but I would love to write the soundtracks for the movie, too. That is my biggest dream! Although, there is one more thing….

Bravo: And that would be…?

Tom: I’d like to study

Bravo: Really? Did you make a request already?

Tom: Yes, and there are a few Universities that would take me. But they are not as Ivy League as Brown, where Emma is going. Apparently she is smarter like I am! (laugh) Nevertheless I hardly can wait to start.

Bravo: Sounds like you would enjoy being again in School.

Tom: Strange thing, but Yes! In school days, I did hate school, but I have changed extremely!

Tom Felton interviewed in Glamour Greece

Thanks to Feltbeats Army member irooloo for sending us these scans and translation from the latest edition of Glamour Greece. Tom gave the interview with this internationally known magazine when in attendance for the Greek premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince back in August.

Hogwarts sent two of their most famous students to Athens for the premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) and Evanna Lunch (Luna Lovegood) talked to Mara Theodoropoulou.

Facing Tom Felton

He looks like a miniature of Eminem (the last 8 years he has to dye his hair blonde) and many people insult him because they think that he is truly awful. Tom Felton, though, is a lovely ,enthusiastic person and a genuine rocker.

Malfoy’s part is much bigger in this movie, as he has to face a moral dilemma. How did you adapt your performance this time?

It was kind of scary at first, because Malfoy would be very different, and I didn’t know if I could manage it. Before the time we started filming, though, I met David Yates many times, the director of the movie, and he explained me how he wanted Draco to be. In many scenes Draco is alone, walking in the halls and generally more lonely than other years where there was more contact with other people. Thanks to David , who was my moving strength, I felt more self-confident.

Did JK Rowling advise you on how to play Malfoy?

No, she is not coming much when we’re filming and she leaves it to the producers and director’s opinion. We were honored, though, to have her this year at the premiere in London. She talked to all the cast and said that she is very satisfied with the result. The writer’s approval is the biggest honor and happiness for any actor.

How did your cameo in Get him to the Greek appear?

How did you get to know that? We filmed it five days ago! Jonah Hill came to the place we were filming Harry Potter the same week and we met each other. I like Superbad very much , and I am a big fan of Seth Rogen and of course Jonah. I was pleased to meet him, we talked and the next day he called me and asked me if I wanted to participate in the movie. I had the opportunity to be away from Harry Potter and be in a very different kind of film. I enjoyed it very much, I was between very funny people.

Did you meet Russell Brand?

We talked very little. He is funny and a little misunderstood, I think. The only thing that is true for him is that he is surrounded by beautiful women.

You have music as a hobby, there are many videos of you on YouTube where you play guitar and sing. Will you release your music?

Some of my songs are available on iTunes. I recorded myself in my room, and they are “low quality.” Videos have been out there for about 2 years and the response is very encouraging. As long as people will ask me to share more songs , I will be disposed to do it. It’s my passion. When I’m not filming any scene, I am in my trailer playing guitar. There are people who asked to change their trailer to be away from me so they could stop listening to my playing!

At least you don’t play Wizard Rock. Do you know Draco and the Malfoys?

I have met their agent. They have a song called Tom Felton’s Kinda Hot, something that is very strange (laughs). I have heard that wizard rock is very successful. Those guys, like Harry and the Potters, make a lot of money! I hope someday I will see them playing live.

Quote from Tom in the small box:

The Bad and the Beautiful
“Play live with Draco and the Malfoys? Maybe. I like the idea,” Tom promises us.
