Tom Felton blue eyes pierce us on the August/September 2011 cover of Da Man magazine.

The 23-year-old actor opens up about playing the villain, the Harry Potter fans and not wanting to go back to blond for a long while. Check it:

On embracing his villainous ways: “I hope to embrace it. I think British actors have quite a good pedigree in playing villainous roles and they seem very happy. So, I hope to embrace it, rather than shake it.”

On breaking the ice on Rise of the Planet of the Apes set: “I remembered on the first day of the shoot, Rupert [the director] said, ‘Yeah, it’s great, but I want you to have bleached-blond hair.’ I looked at him, like, ‘Ah, you are kidding, mate. I just managed to get rid of the blond hair, how can you possibly want it back?’ So I eventually said, ‘Yeah, fine. Okay, I’ll do it.’ And then he burst out laughing; he just wanted me to answer that. That was a nice way to break the ice with the director. From then on, I felt more comfortable filming with him.”

On caring about the fans happiness: “Overall, we’re very excited and happy and the thing about this last film [Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II] is that it’s a really great ending to the series of films. The fans seem thoroughly, thoroughly happy; that’s my main concern. I think it’s mainly just exciting, we’re just happy that we finally got here.”
