He attended West Horsley's Cranmore School until the age of thirteen, and later went on to graduate from Howard of Effingham in 2004. Tom has been acting since he was 8 years old.

Felton's screen career began with TV commercials in 1995,and his big break came with the role of Peagreen Clock in the 1997 movie version of The Borrowers. He then had a role in the British TV series Second Sight (1999-2000, starring Clive Owen), and appeared as Jodie Foster's son in Anna and the King (1999, with Chow Yun-Fat). For the 2001 film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Felton auditioned for the parts of Harry and Ron before being cast as wicked little snot Draco. (The parts of Harry and Ron went to Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, respectively.) Felton has since joined Radcliffe, Grint and Emma Watson in all of the Harry Potter series to date.

Personal Quotes
- "In spite of what Draco is like, I really like school, and I miss it a lot when I'm filming. I've a fair idea what I want to do for my GCSEs, I will definitely be doing music."
- "I really tried out for the part of Harry Potter, but they ended up picking me for the part of the enemy of Harry. Actually it is really fun playing the bad kid because it just has so many interesting qualities to it. And Daniel Radcliffe and I get along really well off set so it's really fun filming."
- [On playing a bad guy in Harry Potter's film]: "I think it's more fun, there are a lot of goodies in the film and not a lot of baddies, so I like to be in the baddie group."
- "So those of you that think filming is all glamor, you're so wrong! Really, only the premieres are the glitzy bits."
