Tom Felton is a Hot Topic

Harry Potter bad boy Tom Felton keeps it casual as he attends the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince premiere held at NYC’s Ziegfeld Theater on Thursday night (July 9)

The 21-year-old actor dished to USA Today about his character, Draco Malfoy’s transformation through the film. He shared, “He’s been given a task to obtain the same greatness as Harry has, working for the other side. He thinks he’s going to do it, and he revels in the chance to be the chosen one, if you will. He likes to think he’s equally strong-willed as Harry, and whatever Harry can do, he can do better. But deep down, he knows he can’t do it. There’s a real conflict of emotions.”

Tom will also be Hot Topic store at the Garden State Plaza in Paramus, NJ starting at 7PM. He’ll be autographing a special-edition Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince posters for the first 750 fans!
