While promoting the opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, Florida this week, actor Tom Felton opened up about the end of the film series, his thoughts on some of his costars, including Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Bonnie Wright, and his future. A couple of photos from
The Sun can be found in our
galleries.
Tom spoke about the final days of filming
Deathly Hallows and his position now.
Quote:
"It's crazy being back on the shelf. I forgot all about that. The last time I auditioned I was about 12.
"It was a very unusual situation we were all in. For the past ten years we have known every year that we were coming back to do the next film.
"I've just filmed my last scenes. They thanked us for our service, gave us a round of applause and told us we were dismissed. It was sad and very weird."
"I've never had any professional acting teaching but I've learnt from top actors.
"We did scenes the other day with Ralph Fiennes, Alan Rickman and Jason Isaacs. Doing the films has been like ten years of lessons.
"But I am sure there are equally exciting things ahead. We're going to have a big wrap party. It's going to be off the scale - I'm expecting all sorts."
Tom joked about he and his costars getting matching lightning-bolt scars, and the random places he might put them.
Quote:
"I wasn't supposed to say anything, but we've all got lightning bolts on our [backsides]. No, I'm joking. But I did try and talk them into it.
"I thought it was a nice idea. Maybe not on the [backside] - but a little something. We talked about it but all wimped out."
Tom described some of his costars, and how much some of them mean to him, including Dan, Rupert, Emma, Matthew Lewis, and James and Oliver Phelps.
Quote:
On Matt: "We are all great pals. We've shared a common experience.
"Emma is doing her own thing. She has dived into her education. She's a smart girl with her head screwed on.
"Rupert is pretty solemn. He's in his own groove. But we all love him. The Weasley twins are jokers through and through. If you fall asleep, one of them will slap you round the face while the other records it on their phone. And Matthew is the most down to earth."
"Daniel is very witty, he's the young Stephen Fry. He always has a book in hand and is full of anecdotes.
"He can do whatever he wants - he is so driven. When he is not filming he is in acting and voice classes. He loved doing Broadway and showed a lot of people he wants to take his acting career seriously.
"Daniel is a good friend of mine. He is very inspiring to me."
