Hero Complex has posted a new interview with Tom Felton where he discusses what lies ahead for him now that the Potter series is over and much more.

“I love fans with passion, and I learned from the ‘Potter’ experience what it can be like to be part of something that gets people excited before they’ve even seen it,” Felton said. “It adds a certain pressure — it can turn into a love-and-hate thing too, because people are literally waiting for every screen-shot, every trailer and every new detail. They lean forward, and that’s what you want, that’s the way to lean.”

Felton said he marveled at the serendipity that put together a cast of young actors who meshed so well, and he said it was hard to say goodbye to the movie set where they grew up together. “It was a group that were picked, and we got on when we were 11, and we all got on when were 20, and that’s amazing to think about. The families had a lot to do with it, the people that did the casting had a lot to do with it, and then there was luck too.”

Steve Kloves even mentions what a great actor Tom is:

“Tom has been plying his craft for a very long time and even as a child was a particularly deft actor,” Kloves said. “As Draco transformed over the last two pictures from mere foil to a haunted, multi-dimensional young man, Tom’s skill has only become more evident. … [In the sixth film,] Draco is slowly crumbling from within due to the pressures imposed on him from outside forces of great power. Tom reveals the fissures slowly, so that over the course of the movie the hairline fracture he displays early on becomes, by the conclusion, a shattering of the soul. He’s respectful of the written word and applies his energies to interpretation, with often quiet but thrilling results. He’s a writer’s dream.”
