In a new interview with Australia’s The Chronicle, Tom Felton talks about his upcoming trip to the continent for Supernova. He also talks about his new film, Belle, and his life Post-Potter.
“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss [Draco]. It was a great ability to vent all the frustration and anger of day to day life through him. He was very good fun and it got more interesting as the years got on, which was nice. He went on to say that “(at the end of the series) there was an inkling of hope for him, a lot of it is left unsaid which is one of the beauties of the book. It is kind of left up to the audiences interpretation. It was nice to see some good side of him at least.”
“Right now I am working on an English period drama called Belle,” he said. “A lot of the things I have been working on the release dates are a bit up in the air for next year, so lots of things to look forward to including a film called Therese and mini TV series Labyrinth. The one I am playing now is not such a nice guy. But I won’t lie, I do enjoy playing people that aren’t so friendly or nice. But I actually have some other chances to play other things as well, one quite heroic and one very sickly meek child type role, so very different and very contrasting and I am hoping that broadens my horizons.”
For any fans wondering if the actor has been sorted on the Pottermore website, he admitted he hadn’t got that far. “We signed up ages ago when they first set up the website but I haven’t been sorted yet,” he laughed. “I am still awaiting my destiny. I don’t think I could face it if it was anything but Slytherin to be honest with you.”
This morning ABC Family have emailed with the news that they will be having another Harry Potter marathon next week, as well as featuring brand new interviews with cast members (Dan, Rupert, Emma, Tom and Matt) on their website! Be sure to view the short promotional video they sent over:

Empire is reporting that Tom Felton will be starring in the upcoming film, Belle, which also stars fellow Potter star Miranda Richardson (Rita Skeeter.) The film starts shooting on September 23rd and, as of yet, it is unknown what Tom’s role in the film will be. According to the article, the film is
Amma Asante’s 18th century romance, offering Feltonians the chance to see their man in period garb in an Jane Austen-like romance. […] the film is inspired by a painting. In this case, it’s a 1779 portrait of Dido Elizabeth Belle (Gugu Mbatha Raw), a mixed-raised girl who is brought up as an aristocrat in a censorious, disapproving country. Producer Damian Jones is promising “a powerful tale inspired by true historical events”.
[…]
Belle is notable, too, for being one of the early beneficiaries of the BFI’s new funding apparatus, the replacement for the UK Film Council. The seven-week shoot is taking place at Pinewood, as well as locations in Oxford, London and the Isle of Man.
