| | |  Tom Felton lists his favourite people & inspirations, including David Yates
While promoting the Half-Blood Prince DVD release earlier this month, Tom Felton gave quite a bit of love to some of his favourite people this holiday season, including his mother, his girlfriend Jade, his brothers, his beloved dog Timber, Harry Potter director David Yates, and some of his best friends. The piece can be read below, published by the Times Online.  Quote: My mum
In no way was she one of those mothers pushing me to act. In fact, I don’t think she wanted me to become an actor at all, which makes the sacrifices she made to get me here even more amazing.
I have been acting since I was 9, but at that age you can’t go up to London on your own or agree to anything independently, so she was always with me. At one point I got a part that required filming in Malaysia for four months, so she had to give up her job to come with me. It didn’t mean anything to me at the time, but I hope that in years to come I can repay her.
Quote: My one and only girlfriend
Jade is my soulmate and I get on with her better than anyone else. We fell in love on the set of Half-Blood Prince [she was the stunt co-ordinator’s assistant] and have just celebrated our 21-month anniversary. I sent her a box of goodies at work: Elemis skin products, Molton Brown bath stuff and other things she likes, which is always a winner. I have quite an extensive knowledge of beauty products now.
Quote: My brothers
There are four of us: Ashley lives in Australia, Jonathan in London, and Chris lives with me. I was the runt of the litter, so I never got to sit on the couch or watch any of the TV programmes I liked. Now our relationship is high on banter, although the times when we are together are few and far between.
Quote: My dog
I have had Timber, my Chesapeake Bay retriever, for three years. I try to be strict with her, but Jade spoils her rotten. My mum never let us have a dog when we were younger – which, in hindsight, I don’t blame her for – but the first thing I did when I got a house was buy a puppy.
Quote: My inspirational director
David Yates [who directed the past three Harry Potter films] has this beautiful calmness and clarity about what he wants. I had no confidence in my ability to be an actor for the rest of my life, but he embedded a passion for film in me.
Quote: My best friends
Everyone used to ask me what my friends thought of Harry Potter and I always felt I had to say they loved it, but I can finally admit that they didn’t have any interest in it whatsoever. But that worked really well for me because, when we met, I could forget about what I do and just be normal.
The Half-Blood Prince DVDs can be ordered via the following links: Standard DVD: Amazon.com (one-disc); Amazon.com (two-disc); Amazon.co.uk Blu-ray: Amazon.com; Amazon.co.uk  | |

Wow... It's nice to see he has time to thank his mother.
Usually big actors don't even care. Tom has a big heart and is a wonderful character(:

Wow, twenty-one months! Usually celebrities don't last lon in relationships, but considering they're coming from the HP set, I suppose it wouldn't be that surprising. It's great that he has time to think and thank his family. I didn't even know he had a sister in Australia!

hes so sweet. But i think hes pushing it just a bit
with the whole "soulmate" thing. Its great hes in a relatinship where
he can tell Jade anything, but hes 22. Im not sure he should be saying shes his
soulmate just yet when they've been together for almost 2 years. Oh well whatever floats
his boat. but hes still super sweet,
