Tom Felton talking Draco, Draco, Draco (plus mucho gossip about the HP films)

[birdsofshore]

Gosh, Tom Felton is really SUPER-ADORABLE in my book. I think a lot of it is down to how much he genuinely loves and respects Draco, and you can see he still really gets a kick from connecting to fans and reminiscing about the films. This is a 30 minute interview he did at the Vancouver Fan Expo recently, and there are some corking moments including:

~ He wants to play Lucius in a remake of the films in 20 years time. OH YES.

~ He thought Draco got totally stuffed in the epilogue scene.

~ Lovely anecdotes about costumes, Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman, Gary Oldman, Michael Gambon, etc.

~ Watch for his big old blush when fanfiction is mentioned. And he says "KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK." Oh Tom, we will, don't worry about THAT.

~ For some reason I find his Adam's apple extra-ordinarily compelling. O_O

~ And a discussion of the calluses on his hands. Nnff.

I lost track of how many times I laughed while watching this. He is terribly funny and charming. If you can spare half an hour to indulge in watching some lovely feelgood chat about the Harry Potter films, I hope you enjoy the video. The very beginning is wobbly and out of focus as the camera is set up, but it's a good quality recording after that.

I am all work work work today (happy writing and betaing work, but work), but I am so saving this for when I need a big smile! I'm with you: the more I hear of or from him, the more I adore him. {{{Tom!}}}

Thank you for sharing, Birds! :-D

[birdsofshore]

Hooray for happy writing! (YHM, btw)

This will give you smiles and leave you feeling fuzzy all over. I was expecting to find one or two funny or meaningful moments in it, but I was cackling away and interested the whole way through. He just loves the world of HP.

Aww! Tom <3 <3 <3
I was re-watching the battle of Hogwarts scene just now, and it gave me all the Draco feels. I need to go and find some fic with a really conflicted Draco now.

[birdsofshore]

Ohh, yes. Delicious Draco feels. *shiver* And dear Tom.

[0idontknow0]

How do you get your hands so soft? *glances at all the H/D fics of Draco jerking off to/with Harry*

Do you like my cat leggings? XD

I think this wig would look really good on you. XD I'm really curious about the wig.

He's so cute talking about his girlfriend. All blushy. And how adorable is it that he used to sneak candies and such onto set.

[birdsofshore]

IKR? Soft hands... with calluses. The best of both worlds!

Do you like my cat leggings? is an awesome question. Surely we must know her? CAT LEGGING PERSON, I WANT YOU ON MY FLIST!

I know, he really was darling talking about meeting his girlfriend. He's having a laugh trying to delude himself that he's a Slytherin. He's the biggest Hufflepuff I ever saw ;-)

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed this. :-)

[birdsofshore]

I love all of the stories. It seems like there will never be an end to all the anecdotes and jokes about the films.

User groolover referenced to your post from Thursday 1st May 2014 (http://hd-prophet.livejournal.com/471120.html) saying: [...] posted a video and summary of Tom Felton talking at length about playing Draco [...]

[lijahlover.livejournal.com]

I just adore Tom to pieces. He is the cutest at everything he does including blushing.

I feel like I can't love him more then see him in a new video and realize I can. :)))))

He is ageing perfectly he is soooooooo hot :)

[birdsofshore]

I agree, he's such a dear. I just love his sunny personality and the way he seems down to earth, loyal, sweet, kind; all of those things that make a man decent as well as cute.

I have to admit that I've never been a really big Felton fan, always seemed a bit swarmy for me, but having said that, this was wonderful. So many insights!

What stands out -- the sneaking food in his pockets- hilarious! All the Rickman references, especially the last one with stepping on his robe. And that his girlfriend played Astoria in the last shot, does this mean I have to get the DVD and watch it? Dang! I forgot to watch for his adam's apple until the very end, but overall he was just sweet.

[birdsofshore]

I'm really glad you enjoyed it! I think Tom F is so charming and friendly, possibly walking a fine line with smarminess, LOL! I am a big fan already, but I was still pleasantly surprised how engaging he was here, and all of the lovely details he shared.

It's also really nice to see evidence that there are many fans - young fans, too - who are still fascinated and thrilled to discuss the HP films and aspects of the HP world.

If you can bear to watch it again *shudder*, the epilogue is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBbNnjvqS

[oakstone730.livejournal.com]

The link doen't work :( Epilogue to the video that you already posted? Sounds intriguing. And I'm with you on TF and swarminess, always seems he is walking really close to that line.

[birdsofshore]

Oh, sorry, I meant the epilogue to Deathly Hallows, where Tom Felton's girlfriend plays Astoria at the station. I linked to a clip of it on youtube, but I's sorry it didn't work. If you search for "Deathly Hallows epilogue scene" I would think lots of options would come up.

I wasn't trying to say he was smarmy! I was trying to explain the smarminess away, by saying it was actually charm and loveliness ;-)

[capitu]

Oh my god! The idea of him wanting to play Lucius makes me so happy!

I saw part of this interview.... somewhere, before. God, isn't he a darling? I want to keep him in my pocket. <3

[birdsofshore]

I KNOW. I have to see him play Lucius, then I can die happy ;-)

There's gifs of this interview all over tumblr, did you see it there? And he's used that joke about him and Dan not taking pictures in interviews before. *shakes head*

[capitu]

Ahhh! I don't remember where I saw it. It's like I did a blackout on that one. But I probably wasn't tumblr because I don't get tumblr at all. ^^ Maybe I'm not cool enough to get it. lol

[iwao.livejournal.com]

He is ridiculously adorable, isn't he?

Thanks for sharing this, I really enjoyed it! :D

[birdsofshore]

He so is. *happy sigh* He's like a big happy puppy. Hey, capitu, he can join the waggly tail club :D

[iwao.livejournal.com]

Hey! I should be allowed to join that club! Aah keep waggin' mah tail all over LJ!! (aaand that just sound's creepy. *facepalm*)

[birdsofshore]

Heh. I think you might be too cool for puppy club. You have to really work on your dorkiness to qualify ;-)

[iwao.livejournal.com]

*the pain of rejection hurts like burning* *wails*

[birdsofshore]

That was a compliment! Nobody wants to be nerdy and embarrassing enough to be in puppy club :D

[capitu]

HE'S TOTALLY AN HONORARY MEMBER, OKAY? XD

[captainraychill.livejournal.com]

He said "luscious". :)

[iwao.livejournal.com]

He did?? Lolol! Well, Lucius is!! XD

[birdsofshore]

I think he said "Loo-see-us" instead of "Loosh-us". You would think he would know his own father's name, wouldn't you? ;-)

[captainraychill.livejournal.com]

He said the Vancouver landscape was luscious. I think he meant lush... However, I believe it was a Luscious Lucius Freudian slip...

[birdsofshore]

Oh, wow, he did! Ahehehehe. That's a great explanation for his slip-up ;-)

[celestlyn.livejournal.com]

Oh Lordy, could he be any cuter! He's right, he's the complete anti-thesis of Draco.

[birdsofshore]

I know. He has a wonderful talent for portraying vulnerability, I think, and he developed that so well in the later films with Draco, which I love. I wonder whether another actor would have brought something completely different to the part?

[celestlyn.livejournal.com]

Another actor would have been completely different, I think. I didn't read the first book until the first movie was made, so in my mind, Tom IS Draco. I can't picture anyone else in that part. On the other hand, I strongly envision David Guintoli as adult, auror Harry. https://www.google.com/#q=david+giuntoli

[birdsofshore]

Oh, I don't know that actor, but he's certainly beautiful. What a gorgeous Harry he would make!

[celestlyn.livejournal.com]

Daviod plays Nick in the Friday night series called Grimm! He is gorgeous and pssst.....he has beautiful green eyes. Put a pair of glasses on him and presto....Auror Harry.

[birdsofshore]

He's a beauty! Thank you for sharing this head canon!

[callistianstar.livejournal.com]

You are awesome. Thank you for sharing this. I don't really seek them out, and let others find them (lol), but this was awesome.

I was struck by the fact that he was calling everyone lovely, love, or mate....I want to be called that!

fornicating! LMAO trusty stick! and Alan Rickman.

28 minutes went by super figuratively fast!

This was hilarious. Thanks again. :)

[birdsofshore]

Oh, you're welcome; I loved it and was happy to share! I agree, when he called all the girls 'lovely', I was swooning :D

Trusty stick FTW!

[torino10154]

Finally got to this video and dear lord, he's just so lovely. *happy sigh* Thanks for sharing it, Birds.
