| | |  David Heyman talks Draco Malfoy's development in Half-Blood Prince
In a new interview with Movie Magic magazine, producer David Heyman spoke about the Harry Potter films, though it should be noted that this is an old interview given that he states the last chapter of the series, Deathly Hallows, had not been announced as being split up into two parts.
David, however, does discuss character development, especially Draco Malfoy's in Half-Blood Prince: Quote: MM: Is Yates continuing to push the actors the way that he did in the last film?
David Heyman: A perfect example of that is Tom Felton as Malfoy. I think Tom's always been wonderful, but he's always played it slightly more heightened. He's been the villain, as it were. But in this film, partly because it's in the book, partly because of what we've chosen to emphasize in the script and partly because of what David (Yates) is bringing out as director, it's a much more complex role - and Tom Felton is embracing that. He is the chosen one just like Harry is the chosen one. He's been chosen by Voldemort to kill Dumbledore just as Harry is the "chosen one" and Voldemort is his destiny. Draco is not altogether comfortable with the task he's been given. On the one hand, he's excited about making a name for himself and the import, but he struggles with his conscience and whether it's something he wants or should be doing. And those nuances that Tom is bringing to it are terrific. It feels like a deeper, richer character than we've been able to see to date. So I think David is continuing to deepen the characters. And the comedy is really very human; the awkwardness of romance; how people are brought apart and brought together is done in a very real but very funny way. I think he's doing a wonderful job. Listen, I'm very excited about this film. We presented a 20-minute reel to the studio yesterday and they seemed very pleased - but let's not kid ourselves, what are they going to say? "We're in real trouble here!"?
The scans of the article can be seen in our galleries.   Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince makes its way into theatres November 21, 2008.

Wow, you mean they left Draco in? I thought he was going to be cut and all of his story and character function handed off to some other character of no consequence  Sorry, that seems to be the company line with WB these days. Nice to hear something positive for a change.

Wow, I almost forgot that Draco plays a huge part in HBP. And I also almost forgot we're going to see a lot more of Tom then. ;] Well, that's good because Tom's good looking. Haha. xD

I'm excited they're actually keeping the Draco scenes in HBP. About time we got to see more Tom in the HP films but then again Draco is a major part of the main plot in HBP. I'm excited to see how he does with the larger role this time around.

Well that makes me happy to hear that. I'm glad that tom is stepping up well to his character's role. plus the fact that he's awesome doesn't hurt either...
but i'm still so happy that they are including his turmoils in the movie. *happy dance*

Its wonderful that they decided to put more Malfoy in the movie because I has not seen him in the last four!
I hope that Tom Felton could portray that kind of character!

I know Tom is a great actor.
What worries me is the trims and add-ons all over the story.
