Tom Felton on Draco, Evil, and Vulnerability with MTV

Thanks to Melissa for pointing out this second half of Tom’s latest MTV interview. I’m “working” and can’t watch so I’ll let their synopsis speak for itself:

“Harry Potter” star (and recent MTV Movie Awards winner) Tom Felton has seen his star rise steadily since first gracing the big screen as Draco Malfoy in “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” Fans have watched the young actor evolve from a one-note bully to a complicated and sometimes vulnerable villain.

When MTV News caught up with Felton at the opening of Universal’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park, we asked him about Draco’s growth over the course of the eight films, as well as whether he thinks his character is really all evil.

“From my character’s point of view, a lot has been left to interpretation,” Felton said, pinpointing an important-yet-subtle moment from the final film, in which Draco is tasked with the painful decision whether to help or hinder his nemesis’ progress. “[There is] one take where you want to help Harry. The books, I think, kind of left it up to the interpretation of the reader, really, so one way you internally want to help him, the other side where you’re just confused, so I’m intrigued to see which bits David [Yates] cuts out of it.”

Regarding Malfoy’s not-so-bad, tortured side, Felton said “Potter” creator J.K. Rowling helped him understand a softer side. “Jo always talked about him as being vulnerable,” Felton said. “Most bullies are. They’re actually hugely insecure and have their own problems, and he has the worst parental guidance of any child I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Felton added that when he and Daniel Radcliffe have discussed their characters’ dynamics, they see them as two sides of the same coin. “Harry has these great influences, even though his parents have passed,” Felton said. “Draco, he’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t, really. He’s kind of stuck.”

For such a funny guy, Tom Felton doesn’t see comedy in his future.

For those of you in the US, you’ve had a month to see Tom’s cameo in “Get Him to the Greek,” but if you read Tom’s twitter, you would know it’s just been released in the UK. To help celebrate the opening (I’m assuming here since timing is oh so coincidental) MTV has released a short interview with Tom where he expounds rapturously on being asked to take part in the epic of Aldous Snow’s journey in the film.

“Get Him To The Greek” has been out in theaters for about a month now, so we’re assuming all you Tom Felton fans have run out to catch a glimpse of your boy’s cameo towards the beginning of the film. While “Greek” definitely has funnier moments, namely spewing out of the mouth of Russell Brand’s Aldous Snow, Jonah Hill asking Tom if they want to go hang out with Professor Snape was definitely a high point.

When we caught up with Tom in Orlando for the grand opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, we had to ask him about the cameo and his future as a comedic star.

“It was a dream come true to actually be on the set,” Tom said about the experience. “[Producer Judd Apatow] actually brought his kids down meet me and I was like, are you serious? You’re my hero. It was kind of surreal. A dream come true.”

Tom’s cameo came to be when Judd and Jonah Hill decided to visit the set of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” while they were filming in London. Tom, if you missed it, is a huge Jonah Hill fan (his favorite being “Superbad”) and asked if they could return the favor and have a cameo in “Greek.”

“Jonah’s a comic genius in my house. None of my friends really are that interested in the sort of actors that I work with, but they heard like Jonah’s name and they were going crazy,” Tom said.

While Tom said he definitely enjoyed his time on “Greek,” he doubts that becoming a comedic star is in his future. Unlike the “Harry Potter” films, “Greek” required a lot of improvisation that caught him by surprise.

“I’m also used to sticking on the mark and reading lines exactly as they were written. You can’t deviate at all,” he said. “It was nerve wracking, but hugely rewarding and fun. What they ended up with I think was pretty funny.”

Were you a fan of Tom Felton’s cameo in “Get Him To The Greek”? Do you think he could pull of being a comedic actor?

Catch a glimpse of Tom Felton in latest “Deathly Hallows” teaser trailer

I’ve never been so thankful Draco Malfoy is a blond. It makes it so much easier to find him!

You can see Tom for a second around the 2:00 mark.

From Misha (so as not to attribute my stupid remarks to Lily, haha): Thanks @skykingcat and @CathleneGriffin for the screenshot! I was trying to get one myself, but got sick of watching Ginny/Harry kissing over and over (kept accidentally pausing there!) and gave up. By the way check out the emotion on Tom’s face – that there’s some actin’ right there, boys and girls.


Thanks to the DailySnitcher for the link!

Tom Felton Skips Hogwarts and Walks Around Hogsmeade

AttractionsMagazine has posted another video of Tom Felton And The Gang of Guy [mostly] Gryffindors walking around the Wizarding World Of Harry Potter. A lot of you will notice some similar shots [the eating of the sweets, the drinking of the butterbeer, the walking out of Hogwarts (don't skip school!)], but this video actually goes more in depth with their tour. Thank you, Attractions Magazine!

And Enjoy.
