It seems Tom got to talking about Harry Potter vs. Twilight with E! Online’s Ted Casablanca and Taryn Ryder. In the interview, Tom talks about fellow Potter-alum Rob Pattinson, as well as us “insane” Twitter fans that rival the Twi-Hards in dedication.
Insane? Us? I totally resemble that remark. ;)
Harry Potter and Twilight have two of the most dedicated fan bases we’ve probably ever seen (and they just so happen to have a Robert Pattinson connection).
Both consistently dominate the box office, Twitter and, most recently, the MTV Movie Awards.
But what happens when the two come face to face? Well, we’ll let Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy in Potter and who won Best Villain answer that for you.
“It’s no question really,” Tom said cutely and smugly when we asked who would win in a fight between Edward and Draco. “A wand is going to beat…Oh, wait. I dare not answer that. But yeah, let’s go with a wand over fangs for now.”
We’d have to agree; score one for Potter. So how about their cult Twitter followers? We were surprised when we stumbled upon the insane fan base for Mr. Felton on Sunday at the MTV bash.
“That might be equal,” Felton laughed. However, unlike Kristen Stewart’s feelings toward the new wave of social media, Tom’s all for it.
“It’s totally cool. Twitter sprung up out of nowhere,” Tom said, adding how he thought it was a cool way to interact with the fans. “It’s great. There are so many fantastic supporters out there. I can’t thank them enough. They’re awesome.”
Then again, Felton and his GF are hardly as hounded as Rob and Kristen, so can’t say we blame the babe for hating the new form technology.
Wands down for a second, though, Tom had nothing but great things to say about good mate R.Pattz, whom he worked with in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
“I hadn’t seen him for a long time actually, and then I saw him for his Remember Me premiere, and I was amazed that he remembered me,” Felton joked. That was the first time Tom had seen Rob since he became a worldwide phenom.
“Rob’s very sweet and just a very cool guy. He’s actually very unaffected by all this. He’s kind of the beacon of hope for life after Harry Potter. I’m very proud of him.”
Awww, see Potterheads and Twi-hards can coexist in peace! But here’s the real question: Which exclusive, and very hyped, clip from the MTV Movie Awards got you more pumped, Eclipse or Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1?
