Tom Felton talks Deathly Hallows Malfoy Manor on Movie Walker website (UPDATED)
While in Japan Tom Felton participated in a new photo shoot and interview for the website Movie Walker. During their chat, he confirms that he has completed scenes for Deathly Hallows, including those that take place at Malfoy Manor.
Tom goes on to say that in films 7 and 8, we get the impression that Draco Malfoy wishes to help Harry and as such, they save each other's lives. He says we also see this in the final scene at the train station.
Tom also talks about meeting his girlfriend, Jade, and how they got together between takes. He adds that his visit to Japan has been good and the people are friendly.
UPDATE: We now have a full translation, thanks to Zellanna;
SPOILER!!: Tom Felton interview
Why won't Draco go over to Harry's side?
Breaking through with box office revenues of 4.1 billion yen [approx. $43 mill, or 25.5 mill £], megahit |Harry Potter and the Mysterious [Half-Blood] Prince|, Harry's adversary Draco Malfoy [played by Tom Felton] comes to Japan. In this interview, the sly villan, Draco, appears to be a complete 180 from Tom.
In this film, Draco is an important key character in the story. Having been given a serious mission from Harry's long-time enemy, Lord Voldemort, so far not often seen, exposes a weakness and conflict of the mind and spirit.
"This time I got to show two sides of Draco. Up until now, it was only the hateful and violent part. The other is the delicate, soft part. In the beginning he was truly hateful. In the final moments his compassion stirred to the point that he wanted to go."
Draco and Harry, like two sides of a coin, follow through each part of the series becoming complete opposites. Would you say Daniel Radcliffe [Harry] gives advice to help in your performace as Draco?
"I think Daniel is a really great actor. Draco and Harry have such hatred for each other, so in those roles we help each other to portray that hatred. Often I'll ask Daniel, 'Is now a good time?' and he and I will talk. And so it helps us both in our performances, and then off the camera we're really good friends."
Tom, you have played Draco through six parts of the series now, I'd like to hear how you are and aren't like Draco.
"I'm not at all like Draco," was Tom's immediate reply. "In fact, Daniel, as well as Rupert [Grint] and Emma [Watson] are very much like the parts they play. Emma, like Hermione, is really really smart. Rupert, like Ron, is a lot of fun. Daniel is likewise intelligent. They don't have to change for their roles, however, I have to play a completely opposite role. So, day after day I get to take out my frustrations on Draco. (laughs) In truth, it's a lot like therapy. I'm really really happy."
"I've grown with Draco," Tom says. There is such a surprising gap between the malicious Draco and the well-mannered and gentle Tom, the experience with this actor is a lot of fun. AS we move towards the climax, it's getting a lot more dramatic in |Harry Potter|, though I want to keep an eye on Tom and the part he plays. [Movie Walker / Yamasaki Nobuko]
but Heyman said that the epilogue was going to be filmed like next april for the final scenes ever, like for the end of HARRY POTTER just so that the sad feeling is there
oh my god, i cant believe its ending :'(
Draco did help Harry in a way when they were brought to MM. He didn't really say if that was Harry or not even though he knew it was. Since he didn't come out and say it the others didn't immediately call for LV.
Then of course Harry saves Draco in the ROR from all the fire so that's gotta be what they're reffering to.
I wouldn't call Draco evil or good...he's more amoral, if anything, and opportunistic depending on which way the winds are blowing. Like most political leaders. Might I also say, he really REALLY does not look good in those pictures, not at all...
I wonder if they'll be able to find an albino peacock. I've seen pics of them before, they look so otherworldly, like they don't belong here almost....
Malfoy Manor was my fav chapter in the story... anyway I guess it is open to interpretation- Draco I felt wanted to help the trio but couldnt- would put his family and himself in danger...then we see the Fiendfyre- where he is all evil again- it's kind of like his dark side outmatches his good side-remember what Sirius said- we all have dark and light inside of us- it is the side we choose to act on. Harry good, Draco bad. At the end maybe Draco does realize what he has done is wrong.
