After eight successful movies in the 10-year production of the “Harry Potter” franchise, the child stars in the legendary series are definitely all grown up. As they continue building their film portfolios as young adults, it is crucial to make the right choices on how to expand their acting resumes.

In the case of Tom Felton, more familiar as the cowardly bully and manipulative Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter’s schoolboy rival from his Hogwarts batch, his effectively antagonistic persona on screen is not easy to forget. But even though most of his roles after the “Harry Potter” flicks still feature him as a bad guy, he attempts to widen his performance offerings in projects like “Grace and Danger.” In this military drama, he plays the good guy.

From Bad to Good

As expected, Felton didn’t readily outgrow his villainous air after his “Harry Potter” days. A lot of projects kept him busy after it, but most of them still banked on his trademark character’s mischief, arrogance, and sinisterly aura. In “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” he was a sadistic animal handler tormenting innocent primates. In the upcoming dramatic thriller “Therese,” he portrays a sickly husband who eventually turned into a vengeful ghost to haunt his wife and her lover. In the upcoming sexual thriller “Attachment,” he stars as a student-turned-stalker whose one-night stand with his teacher triggered his psycho behavior. Many other projects continue to promote him in wicked and ghastly roles — most of which are movies in the thriller, horror, and period genres.

“Grace and Danger,” which is currently in pre-production, sees him on a different light. This time, he is the one who tries to stop the bad guy from doing the wrong thing.

Tom Felton as Carnaby

“Grace and Danger” is a WWII film set in France. The story revolves around a group of allied soldiers who rescue a young woman from a village massacre. Although they are supposed to escort her to safety, some soldiers find themselves tempted by carnal desire. This story arc persists, while these servicemen move on with their perilous journey that eventually turns into a savage battle for survival.

This gritty war drama by Rhys Hayward features Felton as Carnaby, an American soldier who attempts to protect the rescued woman from his fellow soldiers’ sexual impulses. More a gentleman than the usual baddie, this role helps him reach the two sides of the spectrum when it comes to the onscreen figures he can play on screen.

A Prequel Comic Book

The production is set to come out with a prequel comic book. This project aims to provide a solid background for the story, the dynamics of the characters, the events depicted in the narrative, and the overall look and treatment intended for the film. Some images released from the comic book, which is provisionally titled “Cool Blood Kill,” showcase Tom Felton’s dutiful character as Carnaby.

According to the website ContactMusic, Tom has lightened the mood during the final days of shooting new movie Ghosts Of The Pacific by pulling sneaky pranks on his co-stars.

The Harry Potter actor is preparing to wrap production on the upcoming adventure film, and has spent his breaks goofing around on set – much to the dismay of his fellow castmates.

He took to his Twitter.com page on Thursday (09May13) to post photos of the carnage, which began when actor Jake Abel managed to squeeze a bicycle into the cramped seat of Felton’s golf cart.

The Brit tweeted, “Last days filming on Ghosts (of the) Pacific. May the pranks begin. Firstly Jake Abel thought it amusing to modify my buggy… So I thought I’d return fire with some improvements of my own, to his buggy of course. Happy driving Jake.”

Felton posted a photo of Abel’s electric cart decorated in blue tape, and the duo then teamed up to terrorise co-star Garret Dillahunt by covering his bike in toilet paper.

Felton adds, “Jake thought it wise to install some improvements to Garrett Dillahunt’s fold up bicycle. I agreed…”

The Youtube Channel Biggest Fan has uploaded a video in which we can see Tom and Jade walking with their dog, Timber. Another video from the same day was posted back on March 25 and you can watch it here.

Tom has started working with Sevenly to help END7, a grassroots campaign that seeks to raise money to expand access to NTD treatments and catalyze support for NTD control efforts to encourage major political and philanthropic leaders to increase funding for this important global health issue.

Tom Felton: From Villian to Hero

Tom Felton stars in the new TV adaptation of the medieval fantasy novel entitled “Labyrinth” by Kate Mosse. The setting of the series jumps from the modern day scene to medieval France, where the bulk of the story takes place. The mini-series follows two women from different eras, searching for the Holy Grail. With a German-South African co-production, this two-part series was filmed on-location in Carcassonne, a medieval town in southwest France, and in Cape Town in South Africa. Now, Tom Felton, who was famously known for his character as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series, is given a bigger boots to fill by bringing the character of Raymond-Roger de Trencavel, the Viscount of Carcassonne, to life.

Felton’s teenage years does not only revolve around being a famous celebrity. Celebrities like Tom Felton have a very busy schedule and they travel a lot! Felton has been to different countries including France and the United States. He even learned to speak French. But despite his very busy schedule, he still has time to spend with his friends, family and girlfriend, Jade Olivia. Last March, our blond-haired bad boy wizard was seen partying in Las Vegas with Rupert Grint. According to his tweet, “Rumours saying that Rupert and I are painting Vegas red tonight…. Of course they’re not true. It was last night x.” This tweet was preceded by a photo of the two Harry Potter co-stars showing how much they are having fun. They are seen playing at the Blackjack tables in one of the casino hotels in Sin City. It is not bad for people like them to have fun every once in awhile, after working for hours in front of the camera. They can even play online poker games from websites like www.PartyPoker.fr by simply downloading and installing the mobile app provided by the site. Aside from being a movie/TV series actor, Tom Felton is also pursuing his singing career. He first hinted that he wanted to become a rapper when he entered the UK music scene. But today, Felton is said to consider going for pop music after he has booked writing and jamming session with McFly’s Tom Fletcher. In an interview, Felton said that he is a big fan of the boy band group and want to work with them with a few songs. Tom Felton signed a record deal in the year 2010 with an indie label production named Six Strings Production, to produce, write, play, and sing for an album. “I’m a keen musician. Me and my mates have great times jamming and recording stuff,” he said. He also added jokingly that people won’t see him holding a guitar while on a broomstick.

Today, Tom Felton is considered as one of the finest actors in UK. For Felton, being included in the cast of Labyrinth is a great opportunity for him to overcome his role as a villain. Labyrinth has already aired in different countries like France, Portugal, Korea, Canada, and Germany.

I have recently received an e-mail from Kristal Panelo, one of our fellow Tom Felton fans, in which she included a beautiful sketch of Tom she made herself and wanted to share. I have added it to our image archive! Doesn’t it look incredible?! (If you have anything you would like to share with us – be it a sketch, a drawing, a collage or any kind of fan art – please e-mail it to contact@tomfelton.org. We would love to see it!)

“Working on a portrait like this is somewhat difficult, but seeing them come together and making it look real makes all the effort a worthy shot, most especially when your main subject in an art like this inspires your daily life, and Tom Felton is one of them.”
