Love from the ether: A Birthday Round Up

Many people have been sending us their love for Tom Felton in celebration of his birthday yesterday. Since it’s easier to open presents all at once, we thought we would compile them for Tom all in one place.

First up, here’s our present to Tom . You can read all about the making of this video in the Feltbeats.com’s Official Birthday Present post.

Since Tom seems to inspire love from all over the world, here are a couple video tributes in his honor from two fansite’s Feltbeats.com works closely with on all things Tom related.

And what would a birthday be without a few random presents from strangers? Here are just a couple of the many videos made in tribute of our Tom’s 22nd.

From Enjynlfe:

While Tom was relaxing in the sun on his 22nd, he was online long enough to open his present from MTV and thank them for their Happy Birthday, Tom Felton: Wake up Video cupcake. He posted to his Twitter account:

thanks for all the bday messages! had the best morning, and thanks to @mtv for this http://bit.ly/2HFnHU

From the MTV Newsroom:

For one reason or another, there are a lot of “Harry Potter” references in the history of Wake-Up Video. And why not? The books have made it cool to read again (and no doubt sparked the current “Twilight” fervor) and the film franchise has made stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson into the most profitable stars of the decade. Today, we hand a video cupcake to Tom Felton, who plays Slytherin bully Draco Malfoy, one of Harry Potter’s student foils at Hogwart’s. Felton, who had originally auditioned for the roles of both Harry and Ron, brings a certain chilly evil to his role as Malfoy.

In addition to the “Harry Potter” films, Felton has also found time to appear in a handful of other movies (including a cameo in the forthcoming Russell Brand flick “Get Him to the Greek”) and for an erstwhile music career. He has released a handful of songs on iTunes, and they’re mellow little acoustic singer-songwriter tracks that match up romantic lyrics with an adroit control of the guitar. Not surprisingly, he has name-checked Jack Johnson as one of his favorite artists, though in that same interview he also says he likes Green Day and hardcore hip-hop. (Perhaps Felton would like to weigh in on the Hottest MCs list?) Felton said he enjoys Method Man, and it seems only logical that “Bring the Pain” could act as Draco Malfoy’s theme song. Perhaps Mr. Meth could nab himself a cameo in the next “Potter” film? He could play the next school dance, just like Jarvis Cocker did!

We hope you had an enjoyable birthday, Tom.

The Twittering Tom Song: A Present for Tom Felton from the Feltbeats Addicts Band

Since the birthday boy is a bit excited for his 22nd birthday tomorrow, we thought we would indulge his excitement by giving him one of his presents early.

This song is for you, Tom Felton.

The idea for this particular present was started in early May, 2009, when a group of Feltbeats Army members were twittering away to each other, and Tom, on Twitter. Silliness therein ensued, and over four months, five continents, and many secret messages in the Feltbeats Army Official Business board of our Forum later, what started out as a small group became larger as a songbook was created, composers and musicians found, and singers and translators from all over the world volunteered to contribute to the final product.

Written for and inspired by Tom Felton, Twitter, and Tom’s love of music, the Twittering Tom Song was recorded individually by each contributor using everything from laptop microphones to actual recording set-ups before being sent for final mixing into what you see above. Only through the power of the internet was this song able to come to life. Why? Because we love ya, Tom. 😉

Where in the world is Tom Felton?

Now that Tom is done with his journey through Orlando and Universal Studios, he’s taken a much needed vacation, and according to his Twitter, it’s closer to the equator. Tom decided to tease us this fine Saturday afternoon with a little guessing game to figure out quite exactly where.

Ok tweeps so we’ve hopped on a plane, now in paradise. Any guess where we are? X

Then he decided to tease us some more before finally revealing his exciting vacation destination.

Clue it’s not Hawaii x

And the answer is Cabo San Lucas! Just got here yesterday, absolutely beautiful! X

For those of you unaware, Cabo San Lucas is located on the western coast of Mexico on the tip of the Baja California peninsula. Have some fun in the sun, Tom!

Tom Felton’s “going to blow some serious minds.”

It’s been only a day since the announcement Tom gave concerning the opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and already the one quote everyone remembers from it is that Tom declared “It’s going to blow some serious minds.” That’s okay, since Universal Studios in general seemed to blow Tom’s as he woke up this morning most excited about finally being able to relax and enjoy the park for what it is now that his work is done.

At an early 7:38 EST this morning, Tom tweeted:

woken up like a 5yr old and xmas day!can’t wait to go on some rides!!!! i’m literally a 5 year old..dnt want bfast or anything..just rides!

Is the park even open that early? Regardless, Tom was able to enjoy Universal Studios, and is already back in his hotel after what was probably a whirlwind tour of every roller coaster he could get his hands on.

had an amazing day at universal!! the new hollywood rock it ride is great! absolutely exhausted now…playing scrabble on the balcony…x

We’re glad to hear you were able to enjoy your day, Tom! If any photos or news concerning Tom’s tour of the park becomes available, we will let you know.

Thanks to TomFeltonFans_ for sending us the new pic!
