Tom Felton Has Never Watched Harry Potter!? | Capital

[@kate2create738]

The fact that Tom admitted that he never read the books before auditioning but was scheming his way in by saying he read the books, that is such a Slytherin thing to be that ambitious for a kid. No wonder he got the part 😆

[@CheatActivated]

He was originally casted as Harry Potter but didn’t get the part so they gave and casted him as Malfoy instead.

[@nodnoc9627]

@harveysmith409that’s probably what they meant for sure

[@Nightowl2512]

Love that Tom is more than happy to talk about Harry potter.. he genuinely loves the fact he was in the movies

[@niinahstar]

Ikr!! he is sweet

Thom is so adorable. He's sweet in person also.

[@ohmnoe2558]

Because it’s the only thing he had succes in

@@ohmnoe2558 lets be rational here kid, everything he did is considered success, the small and the big things. If you really don’t see all what he did is a success then obviously you see yourself just a loser. Period 💕

the fact he called his schoolmates muggles is so funny to me

Hahahahaha 😜😅🤣

[@sarahglover3286]

Typical Draco...

[@holohulolo]

And it makes so much sense too when you think about how it immediately differentiates, friends he knows form the set and his actual life. As in like Emma Watson wouldn't have been his muggle friends because she is part of that wizarding world with him, even though the character is.

[@Guardian__Angel]

It's very rare for actors to watch movies they play in. Tom is no exception.

This!! Everyone is ‘shocked’ when Dan says in interviews that he hasn’t watched the films since the premieres (though he did say recently he was excited to read and watch them with his own children one day, which I think is really sweet) but why would anyone enjoy watching themselves at 11 years old lol

Tom Felton seems like such an amazing guy! So sweet and very funny. I hope he knows that many people are supporting him ❤

[@emmaearthling444]

The Harry Potter movies should be the blueprint for how we treat our child actors in a way… They’re all pretty well adjusted adults and think back so fondly on their experiences. I just wish all child actors could have that sort of experience instead of the sort of experience we keep hearing about from people like Jeannette McCurdy, Alexa Nikolas, etc

[@missann7556]

Probably bcs they were raised in a british film industry and not hollywood.

[@emmaearthling444]

@@missann7556 agreed

[@It_isAndrew]

@@missann7556 I was about to say the same

[@Zlittlepenguin]

From what I’ve seen, a big part of why it was so well done was because the director for the first two movies was super passionate about the books and he was very patient when the child actors who hadn’t had virtually any experience acting before. Honestly it sounded like a fun time.

[@ma.kisshaannb.ravago1512]

@@Zlittlepenguin yeahhh i also watched their hp reunion and all of the cast that attended said they felt bad for giving the production team a hard time because the cast as kids would always get distracted between every takes it’s so fun to hear that they let them play around the set and it was also shown in their behind the scenes the moments like emma watson and tom felton playing the hand slap thingyy so adorbs to be honest❤

Tom seems like a genuinely cool dude. Like you can tell being in the movies didnt go to his head. Not saying the others did, but you feel something differently from Tom. Like hes more down to earth

[@lisagrace6471]

I feel like if I met Tom Felton irl, he would be so kind, delightful, down to earth, and normal. :)

[@holliswilliams8426]

At school I had a friend who had some family relation to him and Tom was apparently interested at one point in doing a BTEC in Animal Management or something like that, so he is very down to earth and modest as far as I knew.

[@dianelysblancogonzalez6771]

I am on chapter 24, and the book is so beautiful. The first part a letter from Emma, made me cried, and then everything so perfect and sincere. I love it

[@Sq20f]

Whole cast: it was a nice time but I have to go on. Tom: still living as Draco.

[@sarahglover3286]

Tbh for the main seven or so (trio, Neville, Luna, Ginny and Draco, maybe some others) they could all still be acting when they're 150 and the first words of thier obituary will still be Harry Potter star!

[@niinahstar]

just finished the HP movies again and started reading the book, happy to see a new interview about Tom, he is my fav character in HP

[@lisadominguez3457]

I’m now very interested in reading his book. In every interview that I’ve seen him in, he is so quite down to earth that he deserves to continue to cash in in his securing the role of an iconic character of HP.

[@thegraciest_]

currently on a binge of all the harry potter movies with my friends :) i could rewatch these forever and not get sick of them

[@tanzila127]

Bought a copy of Tom’s new book today, can’t wait to delve in !!!

[@Truth72500]

Audio book will take forever

[@tanzila127]

@Day It was such a great read, once I picked it up I couldn’t put it down and finished it over a weekend. Definitely recommend if you’re in to Harry Potter or just a fan of Tom in general. It felt nostalgic reading it. The majority of the book is on his years through Harry Potter, but he also delves into other aspects of his life like childhood, family, battles he faced alone, there’s really touching stories and lessons learned. What I appreciate about his book is that he has chapters dedicated to different people in his life including the older and younger members of the Harry Potter cast, he talks of his appreciation of different individuals with entire chapters dedicated to them. Moreover Emma Watson herself wrote a beautiful purely written foreword introduction for the book which made it all the more enticing to read.

[@mrtwinky2007]

2:25 he says "the books were already out at the time" and that "didn't you think you should at least read one before the audition" at the time of casting the first movie if I recall correctly there was only 2 books out at the time and the third was moving to print.

The amazing thing is you can throw Tom Felton in cold with a bunch of radio saucy lads and Tom is going to be able to hold his own with the banter in an interview. xx Not as easy as it sounds.

[@destinyzwarich-jensen3033]

Such a wholesome interview 😍

[@lotuslife3239]

For being a spoiled brat in the story, Draco seemed to be pretty powerful with Magic despite not being too into books and learning. He was definitely going through it the whole series and probly knew he was gonna be a death eater before the 1st movie, but he definitely seemed braver and more powerful than his father. And tbh without Draco around, Hermione wouldnt have become such a badass. Honestly my favorite character outside of Hagrid

[@buttholemcgee6493]

Apparently Draco was very studious and even rivalled Hermoine in terms of their final year examinations.

[@sherry356]

You know, sometimes I think we sort too soon.

[@elishakaneeth]

Harry beat Draco in so many ways (like Quidditch and being famous), which was why Draco hated Harry in most of the books. But Draco easily mastered occlumency, but Harry struggled with it badly.

[@simonkhouri479]
