| EmmaRiddle | 07-17-2009 04:09 PM | Tom Felton interviews in Herald Sun & Metro In an interview with The Metro Tom Felton talks about how he isn't similar to Draco Malfoy, the things he got up to as a kid and who is the biggest diva on the Harry Potter set. Quote: What’s the worst thing you did as a boy?
It was miles away from anything Malfoy’s done. I didn’t chase the girls with worms or anything but I was quite quick to answer back in class. I was a bit of a mouth.
| Quote: Who’s the biggest diva on set?
Michael Gambon. Well, he was when he found out Dumbledore was gay. He wanted pink flamboyant scarves, the lot. No, no one’s a real diva but Michael loves to wind people up. He’ll ask for three cups of tea, one with 26 sugars in, just to get a reaction.
| Tom also spoke to the Herald Sun about a variety of topics including working with Jim Broadbent for the second time, pranks on set, the co-stars he's most friendly with, possibly going to university, what he would steal from the set and crying when finishing projects. Quote: Jim Broadbent is a newcomer to the Potter world in this film, but you worked with him when you were eight on The Borrowers, right?
Yes, it's surreal. It's 13 years on since we did that, and I would never have guessed in a million years we'd both be here. I was very pleased to see he remembered me and we talked about old times. Jim's a great character. I was laughing my head off at him on set. I can't look at him while we shoot 'cos he pulls all sorts of funny faces.
| Quote: Are many pranks pulled on the Potter set?
Every year I've had this question and I've lamely said "nothing" each time. But on this one we had the first incident I've seen -- someone gaffer-taped my dressing room trailer door closed, so one was not able to get in for a few hours. Do you know who was responsible?
When I turned around to a flock of giggling co-stars, I quickly found out my Slytherin crew were to blame, and they got many an embarrassing photo of me standing outside. Happy memories.
| Quote: Who are you closest to?
I dare not say! Recently young Daniel and I have been conversing quite a bit about cricket, we're cricket enthusiasts, so we spend many an hour talking about cricket. But Emma's a very nice girl and I have a lot of time for her.
| Quote: If you could take anything from the set after the last film, what would you take?
The people. Is that really cheesy? I shouldn't have said that, should I? I tell ya, I'm so not looking forward to it ending.
