| | |  Tom Felton talks Draco & villains in Time Out New York
Actor Tom Felton was interviewed by Time Out New York recently on Draco's development and playing the bad boy in the Harry Potter films, in particular, Half-Blood Prince. Quote: Do you enjoy playing the bad boy?
TF Very much so. It’s always more fun to play the bad guy. I like to think that I’m a relatively nice guy in real life, so I can bottle up any anger that I do have and release it by means of this spiteful character.
Do kids on the street ever give you nasty looks?
TF [Laughs] On the set, the younger kids are quite keen to meet Draco. Then, when they see me, they think, Wait a minute, this guy is not to be trusted! And they cower behind their parents’ legs. I can only take that in a good way.
Tell us about how Draco’s character develops in this film.
TF In previous years, Draco’s been two-dimensional—just an annoying, slimy git. Now he plays a more crucial role in young Harry’s life. He wants to be a Harry for the dark guys, but he’s not built of the same material—he doesn’t have Harry’s courage.
He’s also not that bad of a guy. He doesn’t want to do what he does. He’s just a vulnerable child who’s been given an impossible task.
Do you think you’ll be typecast as a villain?
TF It’s nothing that I worry about because we’re all so young, we’ve barely even started. The concept of being typecast at 18 or 19 is ridiculous really. I’d love to broaden my horizons, but I would happily take the villain role again.
How would you feel about becoming an international heartthrob like Potter alum Robert Pattinson [of Twilight]?
TF I’m not sure how I would cope with having girls scream at me everywhere I go. I’m keen to keep my private life to myself and be able to go wherever I want without causing a commotion. Although…thinking on it, I’m sure I’d cope just fine!
Thanks to Time Out New York for emailing!  | |

Hehe, if kids are scared of him, it's mission accomplished, Tom!
I totally agree about the whole typecast thing. They're all so young, they have no reason to be worried of being typecast, I don't think. Rupert, Daniel and Emma might have more of a dificult time, but they shouldn't worry about it. Really, if you love any actor, you go out and see all the movies they're in, and you always refer it back to the first character you saw them play.

I am glad that his character will be a dominant presence again in the movies. They haven't really had him in the recent movies as much so it will be nice to see him on the screen more. His scenes with Harry are always awesome.
