Scholastic interviews Tom Felton
Scholastic: What's your opinion of Draco?
Tom: Not a very pleasant one, I assure you. I figure, I think of him as a misled only child who's been slightly bullied into his state of mind, if you will. But in long short, he is a nasty bit of work. A bit of a slimy, troublesome character who's not really up for any good and certainly the benefit of anyone else.
Scholastic: Well, my next question was going to be, "Do you think people misunderstand him?" But I guess you already answered that.
Tom: Well, I suppose, "yes" would be the answer. By the same token, he doesn't do a great job of trying to convince otherwise, does he?

1st! Great interview.
I don't particularly enjoy his singing videos...
His singing was okay. mmmm
I think Tom Felton seems like a smart acting, you know? Really researches and gets into his role (Note my SN if you're curious why I always make dumb comments about the actors lol). -golf clap for good acting-
Ha! I posted that above before I had seen/listened to his videos- It's surreal to hear him singing like that, happy, sort of dumb songs, and think about him playing DRACO MALFOY? It's a bit strange, eh?
did he talk about the delay?
top ten!!!!!!! everyone sign teh petition and also write howlers and emails!!!
guess not. ah well.
I liked his singing(and i liked what Matt had to say about it)
i like tom so what if his singing isnt totally amazing...its about the music lol but really he seems like a cool guy
: ) I love him!
haha I love him too!
So he said something about them keeping in the bathroom scene w/ draco (which I am HOPING IS THE SECTUMSEMPRA SCENE!!!!!) and the scene on the train w/ Harry...that's good news b/c it means they at least have a few more things from the book in the film...even if we do have to wait 11 months!!! grrrr WB :/
yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! didnt he say that he was gonna stomp on Harry's face in HBP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont know if he was suppoesed to say that but YES!!!!!!!!!!! i hope it didnt just sound like that!
that's EXACTLY WHAT IT SOUNDED LIKE WB_R_LUNATICS!!!! hahaha nice sn btw
i always wondered if "feltbeats" was actually tom felton himself. now that i know its him,im happy :) his singing isnt that bad but he isn't great.i like his songs though. ;) i can't wait to see him stomp on harry's face! i like harry,dont get me wrong,but its just good to see that he's going to have for screen time in this movie...even if he is being a git :)
do you really think the pool in the bathroom was sectumsempra?i guess that is the only thing it could be!!!
Coolness.
In this interview Draco looks human in a way, we can be in his shoes one day, I hope never be in that situation, but if I do I think the way my parents relate to me will help me to deal with the problem.
I've seen his videos on You Tube before and they are pretty decent. I liked this interview. Thanks for posting it!
Yes the Sectumsempra scene is in. So is the train scene obviously. I think we've known about this for a while actually. Draco will have quite a bit of screen time from what I've heard. He seems like a cool guy.
i think tom has a good point. draco was kinda misunderstood but he did flaunt his misson a little?
Good news here.. hope they put this back on in a year when the movie really comes out.
The next question that should be asked is, what does he think about the upcoming hp movie, being pushed back to 11 months from the do date??? In fact that should be a question that all hp actors and actresses, including J.K.Rowling herself, should be answering!!! Don't you think so???
The Sectumsempra scene is in HBP? i heard it was not.... and yes i do wonder wut the HP cast thinks of the movie date change it would b an interesting question
I heard the movie release was pushed back because Daniel Radcliffe posed nude for a magazine! You know, OOTP was the longest book in the series, but it was the shortest movie. The left a lot out as a result. I realize that something as complex as that book would be hard to rewrite as a screenplay, but I wish they tried a little harder. The Sectumsempra is too important to the plot of HBP and DH, so it needs to be in. BTW, great interview Tom! You do a great sinister part, and they definitely picked the right guy!
Nah he's got an entertainers voice, it's just the genre he sings; it's acquired, though he is a better guitarist.
the interview was really good he seems to really know his charcter... the singing was great! most of the time haha
wow, tom really spoke eliquently about his character...great job tom!!
i liked that...it actually made a lot of sense
yay tom
That was a great interview! I absolutly love Tom's acting.
: ) Yaaay!!!! Peta2.org rocks my socks!!!!!!!!!! Sorry that this post doesn't relate, but I just thought that all of the animal lovers out there should visit peta2.org and join the street team! You can really help animals while getting free stuff, so check it out! : ) Oh! And go Harry Potter!!!! : )
omg i love tom felton :]
omg!!!! i love his voice and the lyrics to his songs; their so pretty!!!! and i love the interview; he seems like a really cool person!!!! =]
I felt quite sorry for Draco in HBP, even though he is a jerk ha! He had been put in a very difficult position and has been forced to become isolated from everybody else, he was literally scared and couldn't bring himself to do what he had to do, even though he thought he could. All this just to prevent from anything bad happening to himself and his family bless him. I'm hoping they will give more scenes for Tom to do because it will be interesting to see him portray a more matured, grown-up Draco. The films dont really give Draco big parts so hopefully they will this time round. And its good to see Tom do something different to what we usually see him do, and of course he enjoys it. He's a great guitarist actually..
Omg I love him! He's a good singer, and his lyrics are really cute. And he's v. talented on guitar, you have to admit! I love the one called 'Silhouettes in Sunsets.' Plus he's sooo gorgeous! Completely opposite to Draco... really shows how good an actor he is to be able to convince everyone that he's a bad guy. Love him!!!!!!!!!!
love u tom :)
