Tom Felton dishes on the finale of the ‘Harry Potter’ movies


Tom Felton — better known as the actor who plays Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies — has dished to MTV about filming the final movies in the franchise, the two-part Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows. (Part One hits theaters this November!)

In a recent interview, Felton tells MTV about shooting the epilogue to Deathly Hallows, in which we jump forward in time to see the future of our favorite wizards:

“Jamie Christopher, the first [assistant director], was always really keen to do that as the final scene, because it’s such a poignant moment for the franchise, that fact that it’s 19 years on, and we get to see what happened to the characters,” said Felton, who plays blond baddie Draco Malfoy. “I confess we haven’t shot that yet, but we are all extremely excited to do so.”

Though Felton wouldn’t confirm that the postscript will be shot using “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”-style special effects — rather than older actors standing in for their younger counterparts — it certainly seems that will be the case. Both Felton and Daniel Radcliffe can’t wait.

“Daniel and I have been talking about it for ages, and we are excited to see what we look like 19 years later,” Felton said. “We want to make sure that it’s flattering and we don’t look like 60-year-olds.”
