Tom Felton talks Harry Potter fans, wanting to play Draco Malfoy again
In a new interview, Tom Felton spoke about how much he adored his Harry Potter fans and adjusted to life in the public eye, including movie premieres. Tom also noted that he would definitely not object to returning to play Draco Malfoy if J.K. Rowling wrote another book on the wizarding world. http://www.snitchseeker.com/gallery/...om-felton1.jpg Quote:
"I love fans with passion, and I learned from the ‘Potter’ experience what it can be like to be part of something that gets people excited before they’ve even seen it," Felton said. "It adds a certain pressure — it can turn into a love-and-hate thing too, because people are literally waiting for every screen-shot, every trailer and every new detail. They lean forward, and that’s what you want, that’s the way to lean."

"All good fun," Felton said, exuding movie-star ease in front of the flashbulb barrage. "You avoid the hype while you’re working, you have to, but the premiere is the one night of the year where you can enjoy it. … My heart used to race, and I used to worry about falling over or saying something. I’ve learned to enjoy them."

[H]e hoped Rowling would someday extend her bookshelf saga so Draco Malfoy — and Tom Felton — could return to the stone corridors of Hogwarts. “It would be amazing. I would not say no, that’s for sure.”
| Screenwriter Steven Kloves discussed how Tom played Draco Malfoy's complexity, especially in the final films, with great skill and devotion. Quote:
“Tom has been plying his craft for a very long time and even as a child was a particularly deft actor,” Kloves said. “As Draco transformed over the last two pictures from mere foil to a haunted, multi-dimensional young man, Tom’s skill has only become more evident. … [In the sixth film,] Draco is slowly crumbling from within due to the pressures imposed on him from outside forces of great power. Tom reveals the fissures slowly, so that over the course of the movie the hairline fracture he displays early on becomes, by the conclusion, a shattering of the soul. He’s respectful of the written word and applies his energies to interpretation, with often quiet but thrilling results. He’s a writer’s dream.”
