In a new interview with HeyUGuys Tom Felton discusses Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and more.
HeyUGuys: Did you and the cast ever consider commemorating your time together on set, maybe a Lord of The Rings style tattoo? Tom: It’s funny you should mention that, I was the one who instigated the thought. I said a lightning bolt on the left buttock would be very apt and when we got to the premiere we could all just get them out and moon the paparazzi! No, unfortunately it didn’t go down. I genuinely wanted to get a little Slytherin snake. We had rings and at one point we were considering heating the rings up and branding ourselves as the Slytherin boys, and needless to say that idea didn’t last long. It would have been a nice idea and I would have been up for a small lightning bolt somewhere! (HeyUGuys said there’s still time!) Well said! There is still time, maybe I can coerce a few of the cast into it.
HeyUGuys: What’s your favourite Harry Potter book? Tom: Chamber of Secrets. I don’t know why, the name maybe? I’m drawn in by that book. Gilderoy Lockhart is the funniest character in the books in my opinion and there’s something about the basilisk, this huge deadly snake, which is just really cool.
HeyUGuys: Is it your favourite of the films too? Tom: I’m a tart. Every film has just got better and better so right now it’s the Half–Blood Prince but as soon as Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is released it’ll be that! Because they just get better, not just through FX but in terms of storyline and it gets more adult which suits me.
HeyUGuys: Have any of the big actors and actresses you’ve worked with over the years given you any memorable advice? Tom: All of them, literally every single one. So much sticks out but Helena Bonham Carter is definitely somebody who I learned a lot from. She’s a quirky but lovely lovely woman, she’s quiet and delicate then the camera rolls and she transforms into this berserk and frightening character! Sometimes people couldn’t help but give her a little ripple of applause after her take because it was so incredible. She gave me some great advice to do the opposite of what your character’s doing. So if you’re character’s crying, tell yourself that you can’t cry. That way nothing you do is forced and it can come naturally. That was really inspiring advice but to be honest every single one of the actors has given me literally something to walk away with. Not just the adults either, I’ve learned so much from Daniel, Rupert and Emma.
Adelaide Now has a new interview with Tom Felton where he talks about Twitter, Harry Potter, Rise of the Apes and more!
The Deathly Hallows – Part 2 opens July 14. What is in store for Draco?
There is a bit of redemption – I don’t think the crowd will be cheering him on, but he and Harry come to each other’s aid on more than one occasion.
Was Draco in it enough to keep you satisfied?
It’s a tough one, because it was 140 central cast members in this last film, so even if you get half a page of dialogue, consider yourself lucky! But there’s a lot more physical stuff for Draco to do with the big, final battle coming up – he has quite a role in that and that was a lot different for me.
