Tom Felton talks about Draco in Half-Blood Prince
Tom Felton talks about Draco in Half-Blood Prince The UK DailyMail has an article on Tom Felton and his attendance to the UK premiere of The Dark Knight last night. In it, he speaks about his role of Draco in the upcoming Half-Blood Prince movie and explains how the film will reveal much of his character's complexities.

There are reasons that Draco is the way he is. He’s seen so many things and been taught so many wrong ideas from his father, Lucius, and of course he worships his father.

Posted by rooon Jul 22nd 2008

Awesome! He's kinda hot.


Posted by Hedwig8 Jul 22nd 2008

Well it sounds like they are giving him a lot more screen time in this one. I certainly hope so!

Posted by Rose37 Jul 22nd 2008

Tho don't you guys think that the article is alittle too short!!! O, WELL!!! At least it is something, rither than nothing!!!


Posted by hermione93 Jul 22nd 2008

tom felton is soooooooo ugly idk why yall think hes cute!!!!


Posted by loony_luna2 Jul 22nd 2008

I agree with you hermione93


Posted by trueligth Jul 22nd 2008

I do not like Draco, but I understand that sometimes parents make lot of mistakes and their ideas sometimes are not good. You need to give some ideas and let the children (with some help from the parents) make their own mistakes but not press your ideas and make them their own, because if you do you are making more problems and not solutions.


Posted by honeydukes0209 Jul 23rd 2008

Cool! Short, but a good interview! Yeah, I hope Tom does get more screen-time.


Posted by ginmo Jul 23rd 2008

His gf looks like she's been to the fake tanning salon a little too much... and don't say "you're just saying that because you're jealous!" because I'm a Radcliffe person lol. Now about the article, this makes me even more excited for HBP. They're actually going to give Draco more screen time from the sounds of it!


Posted by LikexWhoax3 Jul 23rd 2008

Yay! i'm soo excited that he's getting more screen time. He sure deserves it :D I absolutely cannot wait for HBP. Its my favorite book from the series.!=D


Posted by IIaneII Jul 23rd 2008

yay i hope he gets more screen time! ootp, he had what: 2 lines? lol. ahh who is that girl? XD


Posted by nickypotter Jul 23rd 2008

its understandable that its not dracos fault about the way he turned out to be. i mean im sure he didnt find out til way later that his father was a death eater all along. i mean as a kid he didnt know that so he admired him alot... hmm.


Posted by LadyLilyMalfoy Jul 23rd 2008

*sigh* :D Well, I suppose we already knew that, but it's nice for the film makers to finally admit that Draco isn't just a bully ^_^ ♥


Posted by Slither Jul 23rd 2008

That's actually very perceptive of Tom. ^_^ such a cutie pie. XD


Posted by Missalicious Jul 23rd 2008

FINALLY!! Giving more depth to Draco Malfoy THANK GOD!! They've left so much out the last few films. And just a side note - I know he's only, what? 20? 21? But he looks really old in those pics..... And I don't just mean mature, I mean aged. LOL still handsome! He just kinda looks 30-something is all.


Posted by Aurous Jul 23rd 2008

Does Draco really worship his father?


Posted by evanna11 Jul 23rd 2008

What is a WAG? The article was a little short, yeah. Ow, and what he said wasn't that something like he already said before for the Movie Magic Magazine?


Posted by MagicMaker222 Jul 23rd 2008

I am with a couple of you lot 100%. Yes that is a horrible picture of Tom Felton. He's 20 and look how bad his hairline is reseeding wonder if they keep bleaching his hair until the movie premiere. That may be why he doesn't have healthy looking hair..ever. Also Tom should eat a little bit. He looks boney. Well I was just going to say that I thought that chick looked a little old for him but yes


Posted by irishfanaticwhobelievessnapeisgood Jul 23rd 2008

That picture of him looks scary!!!!! Good interview, I hope the film does justice to Draco!!!!


Posted by dinky_diddy_kins Jul 23rd 2008

Is it just me or if you color his hair green you would have the joker from the graphic novels.


Posted by seal Jul 23rd 2008

evanna11 - WAG is an English nickname for "wives and girlfriends". It is usually used to describe the wives and girlfriends of English Premiership Football (soccer) players. Victoria Beckham (David's wife and ex-Spice Girl) is probably the original WAG. They are a group of girls who all have fake tans, false nails and designer clothes and bags and have nothing to do all day but spend the money earned by their (grossly overpaid) husbands or boyfriends. The Daily Mail have made a play on words by using Quidditch WAG as opposed to the more usual Football WAG. Hope this answers your question!


Posted by alexxx Jul 23rd 2008

i think draco/tom is straight up sexy, and im definitely jelous of that girl, and i cannot wait to see him in hbp. all the guys in hp are ;]


Posted by TrixyLeStrange Jul 23rd 2008

It's about time that Draco gets the screen time he so richly deserves. I mean he kinda is the reason that Harry wasn't sold out. First in Malfoy Manor with Draco himself going "It could be him, I'm not sure." Then in the forest, with Narcissa going "Yup, he's dead." Draco and the Malfoy's (not the band) are very important, good to see we finally get that in the movies.


Posted by leighpotter Jul 23rd 2008

quidditch wag...that was kinda funny...anyway i'm glad they're giving draco's character more depth...makes me anticipate HBP all the more...!!!


Posted by Rose37 Jul 23rd 2008

His photos of him and his date at the premire made him seem older than he really is and I don't like that!!!! HE IS ONLY 20 YEARS OLD, YET HE LOOKS ATLEAST IN HIS 30'S IN THE PICTURES!!!


Posted by hp2007 Jul 23rd 2008

even though the article is pretty short, i am pumped that tom gets more screen time, and becomes on of the more important characters in hbp; i think that he has great potential as an actor. plus, his singing voice is really cute! :] i wonder who that girl is though.....


Posted by SlytherinBabe Jul 23rd 2008

DRACO MALFOY AND TOM FELTON ARE FRIKIN HOT I DONT KNOW WHAT EVERYONES PROBLEM IS!!!!!!His smile is to die for


Posted by R_U_Sirius Jul 23rd 2008

He should borrow his 30 year-old WAG's tan-in-a-bottle. He may also want to hit the carbs, he looks ill....do wizards ever develop coke problems?


Posted by iWonder638 Jul 23rd 2008

I'm so happy Tom is getting more screen time! He's such an amazing actor! (not to mention hot since the 3rd movie)


Posted by texas_hammer Jul 23rd 2008

Woohoo! Go Tom! Let's hear it for receding hair-lines! I guess they won't have to replace him with anybody for the epilogue!


Posted by angelina_johnson92 Jul 23rd 2008

I hope Tom has more screen time, he portrays Draco really well even though he doesn't read the books. I agree with some people that Tom is good looking but he's not really my type. lmao R_U_Sirius.


Posted by bellas_trix Jul 23rd 2008

well, the quidditch WAG's shoes are really ugly, and her dress is kind of a little too short....yikes. but tom felton ROCKS MY SOCKS!!!!!WOOHOO!!!! YAY i'm so excited for hbp.


Posted by loony_luna2 Jul 23rd 2008

HA!!! LOL R_U_Sirius!!!


Posted by amy4dan1327 Jul 23rd 2008

i love his blondness, lol!!! =]


Posted by hpninjaskills Jul 23rd 2008

I bet he`s going to get more screen time than some other people. Just as long as it's not Rupert, then I`m fine. Lol. But good for him. :) I love Tom. I somehow always thought he would be a good actor. Now we`ll know! [:
