The third part of Feltbeats' interview with Tom Felton to promote his upcoming EP, In Good Hands, has been published now (the first three segments can be read here, here and here). In it, Tom discusses the reason behind his Twitter account and how he and Matthew Lewis have grown closer as a result of being a part of the online networking service; his musical influences on his acting, and vice versa; how he envisions Draco Malfoy, and the very close bond he has with his Harry Potter character; and much more about the process of writing and producing songs.

Quote:

Now we’re going to ask some questions relating to acting, and sort of how it relates to music. So, deep_friedoreos wants to know: Have you ever been able to relate your music to your acting or vice versa?
TF: Mmmmmm, no. I won’t lie, I’ve never thought about singing from the perspective of a character in a play. Though it’s quite an interesting idea, especially how the Draco and the Malfoys band has done it. I would have thought I’d have a quite good perspective on how Draco sees things, maybe that’s idea for future reference.

Quote:

— but yet you relate to him so closely. You really identify with him. Sometimes you say “my house” when referring to Malfoy Manor and “my dad” when referring to Lucius. Maybe it is because you’ve been involved with Harry Potter for so long.
TF: Oh, sure, sure. Very much so. I won’t lie, I feel very proud and all the rest of it. And, I would never say this in front of Jo Rowling or anything like that, but I feel like he’s my character. Someone told me, “oh he would be like this,” and I feel like saying, “No.”

That’s really the charm of the recent directors of Harry Potter, is that they ask you what Draco would do. They don’t tell you. They know you know him better than they do. So, I guess it is kind of strange. You’re right, I am nothing like him, but yet I feel very close to him. Occasionally, you know, I’ll catch sort of a Draco stare in the mirror, and I’ll think, “Oh yeah, now I remember that.”

The full interview can be read here.

The fourth and final part of the interview will be released this Friday.

Various songs released by Tom can be purchased here and here.

Very good,,,,,"my character"....and he is correct. When most people conjure up the Draco character, even from the book, i would say that Tom Felton's face momentarily is the associated face that appears in the head.
