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: - Posted on: 2008-07-22 22:39:30

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-22 22:40:44

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-22 22:46:11

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-22 22:47:25

Awesome! Hes kinda hot.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-22 22:48:44

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-22 23:03:38

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-22 23:25:25

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-22 23:32:20

I agree with you hermione93

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-22 23:35:39

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: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 00:09:23

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 00:11:03

His gf looks like shes been to the fake tanning salon a little too much... and dont say "youre just saying that because youre jealous!" because Im a Radcliffe person lol. Now about the article, this makes me even more excited for HBP. Theyre actually going to give Draco more screen time from the sounds of it!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 00:15:44

Yay! im soo excited that hes 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: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 01:05:05

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 02:47:36

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: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 03:11:02

*sigh* :D Well, I suppose we already knew that, but its nice for the film makers to finally admit that Draco isnt just a bully ^_^ ♥

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 05:12:27

Thats actually very perceptive of Tom. ^_^ such a cutie pie. XD

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 06:41:08

FINALLY!! Giving more depth to Draco Malfoy THANK GOD!! Theyve left so much out the last few films. And just a side note - I know hes only, what? 20? 21? But he looks really old in those pics..... And I dont just mean mature, I mean aged. LOL still handsome! He just kinda looks 30-something is all.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 07:21:53

Does Draco really worship his father?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 07:31:18

What is a WAG? The article was a little short, yeah. Ow, and what he said wasnt that something like he already said before for the Movie Magic Magazine?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 08:01:08

I am with a couple of you lot 100%. Yes that is a horrible picture of Tom Felton. Hes 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 doesnt 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: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 08:09:11

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 08:24:25

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 08:25:59

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 (Davids 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: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 08:55:40

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: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 09:04:37

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 09:05:27

quidditch wag...that was kinda funny...anyway im glad theyre giving dracos character more depth...makes me anticipate HBP all the more...!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 09:21:21

His photos of him and his date at the premire made him seem older than he really is and I dont like that!!!! HE IS ONLY 20 YEARS OLD, YET HE LOOKS ATLEAST IN HIS 30S IN THE PICTURES!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 09:24:23

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: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 09:31:30

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 09:40:03

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 09:40:38

Im so happy Tom is getting more screen time! Hes such an amazing actor! (not to mention hot since the 3rd movie)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 09:47:23

Woohoo! Go Tom! Lets hear it for receding hair-lines! I guess they wont have to replace him with anybody for the epilogue!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 09:49:56

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 10:03:28

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 10:05:38

HA!!! LOL R_U_Sirius!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 10:30:07

I bet he`s going to get more screen time than some other people. Just as long as its 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! [:

Wait... Did you say Japan just got their copies of Deathly Hallows??? Im so glad I dont live in Japan. I wouldve gone mad with anticipation and killed myself! I could never wait three years for Deathly Hallows! Two years was hard enough!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 12:07:30

Somebody shove a bezoar up his nose!! BTW, I think Deathly Hallows translates to Super Happy Giggle Story in Japanese.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 12:18:01

? are you serious?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 12:18:16

Ive seen that quote before. Its an old interview.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 12:20:12

Beautiful girl, wrong shoes, fakenbake tan. But what does he care! Im glad to see him look so happy, and keeping tight hold of her too!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 12:32:52

Its so good to know that we will see bit of a deeper side to Draco. I mean the book does have more on him than we have ever seen in the previous books, so this movie should very well have more on him.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 17:28:59

I wonder what we will see in the movie, other than the train scene and the bathroom scene, because in the book, we dont actually see much of Draco as he is always hiding in the room of requirement while Harry looks everywhere for him.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 21:19:02

Draco is really nasty in HBP but Tom Felton is a total hotty!!!lol

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-07-23 21:32:40

Sup with the flames he got for his LOOK? So annoying. Good, its about time Tom/Draco are getting the screen they deserve. Tom is just the perfect Draco.

Tom Riddle
Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 17, Page 313
Quidditch started in the 11th century at a place called Queerditch Marsh, which is not marked on muggle maps because wizards have made the place unplottable. Originally it was quite a crude game played on broomsticks with just the quaffle.
