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 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.

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

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.

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 ;-)
