| | | Tom Felton talks Draco's loyalties in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II
In a new interview, actor Tom Felton revealed a tough decision Draco Malfoy had to make in terms of choosing where his loyalties laid in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II, his reaction to having seen some sequences already in the final installment, and the fact that he will be moving out to Los Angeles for work-related reasons later this year. Quote: So you're moving to L.A.?
Felton: Yeah, me, my girlfriend and my dog. I just need to sort out everything with my dog. If she can come, then we're all good. This is the final one — the final impression of Draco Malfoy. In your mind, what's going to be his defining moment in "Part 2"?
Felton: Well, he seems so conflicted and he doesn't know what to do. When it comes to the final battle, he's still a bit confused about which way he should go. It's only in the last stages of the battle that he's really called upon from the dark side when he's standing on the good side, and we see a tough moment for him when he doesn't know where his loyalties lie.
That's definitely going to be the defining moment for Draco. Hopefully, I nailed it. It's nice when I get sprung upon by the mega "Harry Potter" fans and they say, "We understand Draco's pain." It's like, "Thank you! That's a compliment! That's a sign I must have done good." I know you haven't seen the full thing, but they've been screening it for audiences and the producers told us it's brought people to tears.
Felton: I spoke to [producer] David [Heyman] the other day, and he said it got the highest rating of feedback of any "Potter" ever. It kind of goes without saying that it's one of the most highly anticipated films of, well, a really long time. Everyone making it knows that it. It's going to be exciting. I'm endlessly excited. Have you seen bits and pieces?
Felton: I saw bits and pieces when I did the ADR voice-looping. It looked amazing. I was forgetting to do my lines because I was just watching it going, "Wow, this is incredible!" And that was only half-finished with the special effects. Do you see any of the flash-forward epilogue?
Felton: I didn't! That was one of the sections they were most uncertain about and which route they were going. They were talking about it being too long or not long enough. I'm not entirely sure what it's going to be. I will say we filmed it, but how it's there in the final cut, I don't know.
Tom also mentioned that due to time constraints, alterations had to be made to the finale. Quote:
"Different endings is definitely an exaggeration," he explained. "One of the beauties we had is that we stuck originally to the book and filmed everything. Now, of course, we can't have a four hour film. Obviously, the director is going to have to pick and choose. Even I'm excited to see exactly what happens, because I haven't seen the final cut."
"There will definitely be alterations," said Felton. "Not necessarily alternate endings. I'm sorry to inform you that Draco doesn't win in the end and overpower Harry and get the girl! It just doesn't happen for him, I'm afraid."

July, why do you mock me from so far away?!!
I love him. I just love him. I can't wait to see Draco in this one. Stay on the good side, Draco! We have cookies.
But seriously, I am so on edge to see what his character does in this film. Just reading this interview, I'm almost in tears thinking about it. My passion for Draco is all the inner turmoil he goes through, and how much his character grows throughout the story. To see this final piece of Draco come to fulfillment is just... I can't find the right word.
And I suppose I'm going to have to move to L.A. now.

Draco a good guy? Must have read a different book to Felton.
'Ron punched him from under the clock...' 'And thats the 2nd time we've saved your life tonight, you two-faced *******' Ron yelled.
So, we know who side Ron thought he was on

So, we know who side Ron thought he was on Yes,I think he has a different book than us. Cause I read that he tried to turn Harry in! That's not what a confused person qwould do! But I will suport Yates choice if he makes Draco good.

The greatest thing about Draco's character is the way he's developed through the series. First it looked like he's simply just a mean bully but there was so much more to it. Inner turmoil is what makes the character deep and interesting. I've always liked Tom's acting, but in HBP his performance absolutely blew me away. That was the first time we got to see the other side of Draco and the pain he was going through... it really broke my heart to see that. The same goes for DH part 1, Tom was amazing! I'm so excited to see him in part 2!

Tom is so good at bringing out all the excitement without spoiling the movie. Actually, he did not tell us any real thing at all, but my anticipation to the film is just getting higher. Brilliant!

Draco is mostly bad, I believe, and quite weak....but he in DH, when the snatchers bring the group to Malfoy Manor, he doesnt quite admit to recognizing any of them when Bellatrix asks him! Obviously, he recognized them, but the way JK wrote it at that point, Draco seemed to just want out....
