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.”
A 30-minute behind-the-scenes special on Half-Blood Prince will air on Australia’s channel nine on July 11 from 5:00-5:30p.m. local time. The preview will have a tour of the set of the sixth film. I will post the video as soon as its online!
The Orlando Sentinel has posted a new article with details on the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park.
“People are expecting to immerse themselves in the whole Harry Potter universe,” Niles said. “Really, a lot more than other attractions, people are going to be paying a lot of attention to the theming, the attention to detail and the atmosphere of the place, more so than the rides.”
Plans for the 20-acre Wizarding World show more than a dozen buildings, including at least three shops, a restaurant and multiple forced-perspective decorative buildings. The centerpiece will be the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the iconic castle and keep from the Potter books and movies.
