| | New Tom Felton photo shoot, interview on life & Harry Potter in The Times magazine
While promoting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 this past summer, Tom Felton spoke to The Times magazine about a lot of his personal life, values he learned from his family on conducting himself as a person around all types of people, despite their financial status, and some of the material things he loves the most. Tom also showed a lot of respect to Harry Potter costar Daniel Radcliffe for keeping a level head while remaining one of the most recognisable faces on the planet. That and more can be read below; two new photos from the accompanying photo shoot can be found in our galleries. Seeing yourself grow up on screen is cringeworthy. I sometimes catch a glimpse of one of the Harry Potter movies on TV and it's like seeing snapshots of some other person's life. Seriously weird. Jim Carrey rules. I spent a lot of my childhood trying to mimic him. Physical comedy is something that's always really tickled me. First impressions are permanent. It's human nature to make snap judgments. I do my best to make sure I'm projecting something positive when I meet people, not acting like an a**. As adulthood kicks in, you realise your happy-go-lucky younger self has much to learn. But don't stress about it. Good or bad, the picture can change overnight. If a new iPad were released next week, I'd want one. Of course you can live without boys' toys. A new jumper, an iPod, a great watch... They're not exactly the meaning of life, are they? But they are nice. Twitter's great. I'd always resisted social networking, it took a lot of persuasion to make me set up an account. But now I love it. It's like a constant news feed for me, and it gives Potter fans an instant way of communicating [he has 585,000 followers (as of the time of this interview; right now it is slightly less than a million)]. Four hours in Topman and a different you emerges. I used to be the world's least clothes-aware person, living in jeans, T-shirts and hoodies. Then I met my girlfriend [stunt coordinator Jade Olivia] and found myself being given a subtle makeover. My biggest worry when I'm away working is what'll happen to Timber. I wanted a dog throughout childhood but wasn't allowed - responsibility and all tha t- so the first thing I did on moving out was get a puppy. She's a Chesapeake Bay retriever. I love her. Take your lead from those who get it right. Daniel [Radcliffe] can't walk down a street anywhere in the world without someone shouting 'Harry Potter,' yet he handles it with such grace. He always responds like the charming guy he is. I love my wheels. BMW's are my biggest extravagance. I'm currently driving a 6 Series, I've had two-seaters and 4x4s in the past and they've all served me well. Online friends are not to be undervalued. I've never met Tom Fletcher, the lead singer of McFly, but we've been having really interesting conversations back and forth for months now. There's even been talk of us swapping jobs for a day. I'd love that. Golf is great. It takes your mind off the complicated things in life and focuses it on a simple one - getting a little white ball into a hole. It's the perfect escape. Some of the most endearing people I've met are super-vain. My upbringing was, 'Vanity is bad - it means you're shallow.' Now I'm coming round to the idea that you can take an interest in yourself and still be OK. Watch me pass a window and you'll probably see me do a little hair check. Be a gentleman. My mum drilled that into me. Good, old-fashioned politeness, basically. I've no time for people who behave one way to a Hollywood producer, then differently to the guy who brings them a mug of tea. Traveling for work isn't really traveling. I've visited all four corners of the world, yet haven't properly seen most of the places I've been to. So some jungle treks, Route 66, just me and a backpack... That's definitely the agenda, if and when I get the time.

He always says such nice things about Dan too. Oh yeah i agree that he's got a great personality. I still think that him and rupert's bromances are great |

I love how all the Harry Potter actors who started when they were very young grew up to be so down-to-earth and modest people |

Tom's so adorable <3 It's amazing to see the caring man he's grown up to be, since I've only known him as that annoying blond kid from Harry Potter for so long.

he's such a darling and quite the charmer. He's genuinely nice and you can even pick that up from hearing him talk and from his interviews. and i agree he's not the boy that he used to be in terms of looks. he's gotten more handsome as the years have gone by. he has that rugged, sexy, i wana tackle you against the wall look. lol. he may not be perfect but he's close to it. and has honestly given me high expectations of men. lol.

I love Tom! He probably looks older because he's got the whole "beard thing" going on?! He's still gorgeous!
