- Hello, my name is Tom Felton
from YouTube Premium's new show Origin.
Today I shall be answering some fan questions
out of this rather delightful looking cup.
(rhythmic techno music)
Emma Watson revealed her first crush was you
while filming the first two Harry Potter films.
Was the crush mutual?
Let's move on, come on now,
there's no need for this.
No, we've been very good friends for a very long time.
Leave it at that.
Would you ever reprise your role as Draco Malfoy
if the opportunity presented it?
Of course, definitely.
What did you enjoy the most
about your time on set filming The Flash.
Getting dancing lessons from Grant Gustin.
He's a good mover and a groover
and a fun chap to be with, so he would give me lessons.
I haven't danced since, it's rather tragic.
What drew you to the role of Logan in Origin
and which ways are you similar to him?
Well, we look like.
We have the same colored eyes.
Logan and I are very different people.
I think he comes from a rather broken family
with rather crap friends and Tom is quite the opposite.
What drew me to it was the sort of multinational
aspect of the show, the fact that it kind of
goes around the globe in all 10 episodes
and Mika Watkins, our fearless showrunner and writer.
She was instrumental in getting me onboard.
Not only is she a lovely person,
she's also furiously talented.
Did you take anything from the Harry Potter set?
Technically, no... I'm not gonna tell you more
'cause I still want Warner Bros.
to hire me in the future.
The Harry Potter movies started so many great adult actors,
what was the relationship like
between you and the older cast?
Were you close to anyone in particular?
Not really, as a kid I had no idea
who any of these people were.
I just had my mom telling me
that Maggie Smith was a huge actress
and Richard Harris was a legend,
the only one I really was terrified of was,
Alan Rickman, 'cause I knew him from Robin Hood.
So I was pretty terrified of him.
It took me quite a lot of courage
just to say anything more than,
good morning Alan, to him,
'cause he's pretty terrifying.
I thought Gary Oldman was one of the cleaners, at first,
'cause he was so casually just walking around.
Yes, someone had to tell me that he's playing Sirius Black.
But they were all lovely.
Helena Bonham Carter was definitely one of my favorites.
Jason Isaccs who plays my dad.
I learnt a lot from him, so he was very sweet.
But honestly they were all lovely, so,
I'm very lucky for that.
What was the most challenging aspect
of taking on the role of Logan in Origin.
Well he's American, for starters,
so I had to sort of work on that a little bit.
He's a petty drug dealer
so I had to do some petty drug dealing
just to get into character.
Honestly, the most challenging thing
was probably being in Cape Town for seven months,
not that it wasn't beautiful and an amazing place to shoot
but it's a long time to spend away from friends and family.
Other than that, it was all swimmingly.
What is your first on set memory
from filming the Harry Potter movies?
I don't know, I used to stuff a lot of chocolates
and sweets inside the robe
and I remember that they used to melt and get stuck in there
and they shouted at me
and they got sweets banned from set, 'cause of me.
What do you think Julian Albert has been up to
since he left S.T.A.R. Labs for England?
(laughs)
Would you return for another season if asked?
Yes absolutely.
I think Julian Albert
does deserve a comeback episode at least.
What's he been up to?
Waffling around in England I suppose, yes.
I'm not even sure what the excuse was
that they gave for why Julian Albert didn't return,
but he's bloody busy in England by the sounds of things.
You've released music in the past
are you planning on releasing more songs
and potentially an album?
Yes I am!
I'm still recording
and still dibbling and daddling with a few tunes.
I do hope to make an EP at least
or a short album of some sort.
I'm not sure when or how or why
but I'm gonna do it at some point
so thank you for your interest.
If you could go back and film one Harry Potter movie
all over again which one would it be and why?
Bloody good questions people!
I'm enjoying these.
I don't know really.
I mean I wouldn't change anything,
although I'm sure I ballsed a lot of it up
when I was there.
Maybe the last one, 'cause it was the longest,
bit more time to soak it all in. Well I would wanna go back
but also I wouldn't wanna damage anything further
than I already have.
So maybe just the last one, that'd be fun.
Does a text thread with you
and the rest of the Harry Potter cast exist,
is there anyone who you keep in touch with the most?
I think there is, I think there is, ah,
I never answered it. I think I got in trouble with Emma once
for not paying any contribution to that
but there is but we're all pretty naff with phones
to be honest with you
so I'm not sure how up to date it is.
Well Matthew Lewis, young Longbottom,
he lives round the corner from me
so I see him quite regularly.
Bonnie as well who plays Ginny,
she's around so we odd dogs have hung out a couple of times.
But we always see other in one way, shape or form
so yes it's always fun to keep in touch with them.
What are you hoping audiences take away from Origin?
Well, entertainment for one!
I hope you have a bloody good time watching it.
But also, it does ask some really poignant questions
about what we're doing on this planet
and is there any hope for us on another planet?
You took Pottermore's sorting quiz
and were sorted into Gryffindor,
what would your hybrid house be?
I'm definitely a Slytherdor,
I think, if that's the correct term.
Also, I don't think I'm actually Gryffindor.
I tried to lie to the sorting hat
by overly going with Slytherin answers,
particularly dark and I think it knew.
So yes, my true house is yet to really be decided.
What's your favorite behind the scenes memory
with Daniel Radcliffe while shooting the Harry Potter films?
Crikey! So many.
I don't know, I remember having Simpsons trivia battles
with him while in the middle of,
in between doing Quidditch.
We used to ask each other Simpsons questions,
which he was much better at.
Did Draco Malfoy get the ending
you thought he deserved in Deathly Hallows?
Absolutely not!
He should have killed everyone
and run off into the sunset, no, of course it's perfect.
Jo wrote some fabulous stories
and I dare not amend them at all.
Thank you, the cup is empty.
Thanks for all your lovely questions,
you're actually much better than most interviewers.
See you round.
