There is a new interview with Tom Felton now online!

“I tried for Harry Potter and Ron, and finally Draco. My hair was dyed brown, ginger and then finally blond.”

He admits though that he quickly settled into the skin of the brooding, threatening Malfoy.  “I take great pleasure in being evil in the film so I’m very grateful for playing Draco.  “A lot of kids that came on to the set were very keen on the idea of meeting Draco, but they were never keen to shake my hand, so I take that as a compliment.  If I can terrify a little child then I’m assuming I’m paid for something!”

Yet Felton admits that when Malfoy is given the opportunity to prove his true evil in the “The Half-Blood Prince”, he finds he might be out of his depth.  “I think he revels in this opportunity at first and loves the idea of being the bad boy, but he quickly crumbles and realises he quite doesn’t have a heart the size of his young friend Harry.”
