Tom Felton embraces the dark side as Draco Malfoy
One of the only Potter kids cast who had previous film experience,
Tom Felton first auditioned for both the roles of Harry and Ron
before being cast as the quintessential bad boy, Draco Malfoy.

Born in Kensington, he is the youngest of four sons. He began
acting at the age of 8, but insists that as the youngest he got no
special treatment from his brothers. Tom jokes that after coming
home from his day on set, his brothers, Jonathan, Chris and
Ashley, would often ignore him for their favourite television show.

He did acquire a love of fishing from his older brother, Chris, to
whom he is very close. Chris even served as Tom’s PA on set of the
Potter films.

Tom has been an avid fisherman since the age of 11. He got his
first job working in a fishery and ever since has dreamed of
owning his own.

Though Tom has enjoyed superstardom with his fellow cast mates, he
is a down-to-earth person and prefers being at home; he is most
comfortable in the outdoors. After filming the Potter series, Tom
plans to study fishery management at university. He only recently
considered a future in film; his passion and interests had
previously always laid in fishing.

Cars are another of Tom’s passions and he bought his first car
before he could even drive! Tom says of his car: “It was a great
motivator: I wanted something for the hours I put in at the
studios and just seeing it on the drive made me appreciate
everything.” He even bought his family cars in appreciation for
all their support.

Tom is beloved in the Potter fandom and though he is committed to
playing Malfoy, he looks forward to playing other roles in future.
