Felton Interviews

Several times in the past, cast members have discussed the possibility of playing themselves 19 years in the future for the epilogue to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. MTV has a new interview online tonight with actor Tom Felton who says he has not had confirmation yet on how that scene will be handled. Quotage:

“For the big-screen adaptation, does that mean older actors will portray
Harry and the rest of the grown-up students? Or that the young stars
will be aged through makeup effects or CGI technology? No decision has been made, according to Tom Felton, who plays
peroxide-blond villain Draco Malfoy. “We haven’t shot that yet, and I
still haven’t had the confirmation whether I’m doing it or we’re going
to get someone else to do it,” he told MTV News while promoting the DVD
for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” “I haven’t heard too
much. I guess they’re still making decisions about it now. It is a very
exciting scene. I know Daniel [Radcliffe] and I have talked about it
and said it’d be a lot of fun to do.”

Tom later weighed in with more: “While Felton joked that he’d be cool with having Brad Pitt or Leonardo
DiCaprio step in to play an adult Draco, the British actor maintained
that he’s looking forward to seeing what he will look like 19 years in
the future. “It’d be kind of freaky to see what they come up with,” he
said
.”
