As Tom Felton mentioned on his
Twitter, he will be taking stories from readers worldwide about their experiences as 'super fans'.
The BBC announced Thursday that this will all be part of an hour-long documentary, called
Tom Felton: Meet the Fanatics. The
Harry Potter actor will present and direct the documentary, which will record messages from fans attending
Wizard World in Tulsa and
Birmingham Comic Con, both in November. No set broadcast date has been announced yet.

TOM FELTON: MEET THE FANATICS (W/T)
In November 2014 Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter) will be in the midst of Convention season heading to Tulsa to attend one of the world’s largest film and TV cult festivals Wizard World and on this side of the Atlantic attending Comic Con at Birmingham’s NEC. Every year thousands of super fans come together at these locations – wearing elaborate and intricate costumes - to meet the ‘real’ people behind their favourite shows. For the young men and women who attend it can be a life changing and often overwhelming experience as they meet the stars they’ve idolised for years.
For Tom the convention tour has been part of his life for over a decade, but now as an adult and with some distance from the franchise that made him world famous, Tom wants to take a step back and look at the conventions from the side of the super fan – attempting to understand for the first time why these young people become so attached to these fantastical books, movies and TV series and more importantly by spending time with fans and hearing from his celebrity friends and co-stars ask: when does a fan become a fanatic?
1x60', director and presenter is Tom Felton. Executive producer: Colleen Flynn and Andrew Palmer from KEO Films. Commissioning editor for the BBC is Elliot Reed.
