Earlier today, Tom Felton worked with director Richard Curtis (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually, Bridget Jones, etc.) to film a video to help promote awareness of a proposed “Robin Hood tax.”

According to the London Standard, the “Robin Hood tax” is an idea proposed by a group of more than 300 economists and businessmen, where there would be a small tax on financial transactions that occur only between large institutions. There are estimates it could raise more than £250 to £450 billion a year worldwide. This money could then be used to help fight global climate change

Bill Nighy, who also supports the proposal and has filmed a campaign video supporting it as well, told the Standard: “The thing about the Robin Hood tax is we ourselves searched for the flaws and there aren’t any. It’s one of those simply brilliant ideas that works for everybody and it’s slightly surprising that there should be any resistance from anyone.”

Watch the first campaign video with Bill Nighy below:

Other celebrities filmed alongside Tom today, as well, such as Ben Kingsley and Noel Clarke. Tom tweeted about it today:

We will of course bring you Tom’s video as soon as it is available!

Thanks to hbpmoviepics and Oclumencia, we have this new behind-the-scenes shot of Tom during filming of “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.”

Take a look at everyone’s totally out-of-character expressions!

• Tom’s nice smile is very “Tom” and not “Draco.” Quite funny to see how he can turn into Draco when the cameras roll!
• Matt Lewis looks very pensive.
• Dan Radcliffe is doing some kind of “Oh no you didn’t!” thing.
• What are Joshua Herman and Jamie Waylett looking at?!

The Hogwarts Express arrives at Hogsmeade Station as The Wizarding World of Harry Potter continues to develop at Universal Orlando Resort. As guests enter Hogsmeade, they will be greeted by the iconic, smoke-billowing steam engine, made famous in the Harry Potter books and films for transporting students to a world of magic and wonder. Opening in Spring 2010 only at Universal Orlando Resort, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will feature multiple themed attractions, shops and a restaurant.

Thanks to Universal Studios for sharing this fun information with us!

German website Erd Beer Lounge caught Tom earlier this year when he was on the beach in Miami. Short, yet sweet, clip of Tom soaking in the sun and sweat.

A rough translation from the original German:

Harry Potter makes a break. Harry Potter actor Tom Felton, which stands as an enemy of Harry Potter as Draco Malfoy in front of the camera, seems to need a vacation very urgently, because he relaxes in Miami Beach. And he no longer looks as pale as Harry Potter’s foe. The holiday seems to get really good for him.

Thanks to TomFeltonEU, we have this adorable agency card of Tom Felton when he was a wee lad of just 10 years old. These cards are given by talent agencies to casting directors, so they can make decisions about who to hire for their movies and TV shows. This card presumably got Tom his role as Louis T. Leonowens in Anna and the King with Jodie Foster.

From the card, we learn some new information – that Tom did some work on the radio during his childhood. And we now have official confirmation that his height is 4′6″ (Hmm! He looks so much taller standing next to Dan Radcliffe! Oh well!).

Thanks again to TomFeltonEU!

All of you know that Tom is an avid tweeter, but Tom’s friend Dan dishes with MTV about how how much he, well, isn’t.

In this Rough Cut interview, Daniel mentions Tom tweeting around the minute 1:12 mark. Dan’s take on the whole idea of social networking amongst his generation is worth the inanity of hilarious giggles the short clip provides, but of all the possibilities Twitter and Facebook have to offer, it seems what Tom tweets about is what gets Dan passionate and forgiving.
