| | |  Tom Felton talks Harry Potter audition and Anna & the King in First magazine
A new interview with Tom Felton has surfaced in Indonesia's First magazine. Amongst other things, he discusses his audition for Philosopher's Stone and his experience shooting Anna and the King. The full 3-page translated article may be read here. Quote: First of all, let’s take a trip down memory lane. What do you remember from your audition for the Harry Potter movies? What did you have to do?
I remember going up to Leavesden Studios and meeting Chris Columbus with loads of other kids. He used to just talk to us and throw questions to see how we react. I remember in one of the early call backs we were running lines and he was holding an egg (supposed to be a dragon’s egg but represented by a chicken’s!). He then deliberately dropped the egg to see how I reacted! He was great fun and made you feel very at ease.
Quote: You played in Anna and the King. The story of this movie happens in the country we now call Thailand. Did you have to travel to South East Asia to film that movie? If yes, where did you go to and what do you remember from this experience?
For the movie, I went to Malaysia with my mum for 4 months. I was so young I unfortunately don’t remember much of it though!
One of my memories, however, is riding an elephant! I was so happy about it and couldn’t wait to tell my friends back at school. My mum is always reminiscing about her experiences so I’ve learned a lot about my experiences through her. Apparently I wouldn’t eat any of the food they gave me on set as it was so different from what I was used to in London, so she had to go to the KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) she found 20 minutes away from set in a taxi everyday to get me a meal!
Quote: And if you could pick an occupation in the wizarding world, what would you be doing for a living?
I’d probably be a magical luthier and make some sort of musical instrument to sell on Diagon Alley.
Quote: Now pick your preference out of two options given. Don’t think too much about the question. Just answer with the first thing you’ve an impulse to say.
First of all, Hermione Granger or Luna Lovegood?

Scones or pancakes?
Pancakes
Football or cricket?

Acoustic guitar or electric guitar?

I wonder how he did react to the egg being dropped. It sucks he can't remember much from Malaysia.
And yay for picking Luna =)

Really Good Interview.. I like what he choose for his occupation a "magical luthier" .. to "make some sort of musical instrument to sell on Diagon Alley". That's Cool, Imagine how many different magical instruments you could be able to do...
I also liked the fact that Tom chose Luna Lovegood, she is charming, awesome and unique, she is one of those characters from Harry Potter that will remain in everyone's heart.

I love Tom, he IS very charming and sweet indeed. And he is a very good actor. I am kind surprised that he did not pick Hermonie although he likes the actor.....well, i am actually glad that he picked Luna LOL  . Well, one thing that i am really shocked is that he can't eat Asian food?!?!?! OMG!!! Unbelievable!!! He likes to play music, WoW! Well, i really wonder how he likes KFC in Malaysia because I heard that every fast foods taste are different around the world. Still, Tom, I  you.

We must all thank Chris Columbus for helping to brilliantly cast the main characters.

Wow! That is so cool that he go tto go to Malaysia, to bad he doesn't remember to much though. But he is so lucky he go to ride on an elephant. Yuo would think he would be so much like Draco, but he is totally different than Draco. That is so cool. We love you!!!<3

Wow! He went to Malaysia! That's so cool! He got to ride on an elephant! That's so unfair! Wow! He chose Luna! Woah! And cricket over football and acoustic guitar over electrical (even though i agree). Aw! He's kind, charming and polite! He's totally different from Draco! Which makes him a good actor.
