Felton’s interview in the French PREMIERE magazine
Premiere: How long was the filming of the two parts of Deathly Hallows?
Tom Felton: A little over a year, fourteen months to be precise. We can say that the team has every reason…
Premiere: Fourteen months! It leaves time to carry a baby…
Tom Felton: Exactly! It’s pretty surreal to spend so much time on a project. It was more sodas than ever to the end of this shoot*
P: After ten years of Harry Potter, say goodbye to the saga must have been especially heartbreaking.
TF: When we went back to the last festival at Leavensden after the end of filming, the emotion was at its height. It was the last time the full team was assembled in the Great Hall. We suddenly seemed very empty…a funny feeling.
P: You may find yourself in a few years wandering in the Harry Potter theme park that just opened in Florida.
TF: (Laughs) That’s exactly what I said! If I get too depressed, I will go live over there.
P: Throughout the saga, your job was to embody a character that people hated. It could not have been easy every day.
TF: I actually accumulated a certain amount of negative waves during the last decade. It was quite funny, in fact. Groups of children were regularly visiting the set of Harry Potter and the moment has come to meet me, they all went to hide behind the legs of their parents. I learned to take it as a compliment.
P: You also have your fan club, which annoys JK Rowling… because many young girls love Draco Malfoy, even though he is [rotten].
TF: I’m not sure how to answer that. You know what it is, girls have always loves the bad boys.
