Tom Felton opens up about his journey to be cast as Draco Malfoy in the HarryPotter movies, believing he landed the gig because he was 'nonchalant.' 'I think Chris Columbus, the director, recognized this slight disinterest and arrogance in me.'
Harry Potter's Draco Malfoy actor Tom Felton says he was cast for his iconic rival role because he didn't care and wasn't aware of the novels prior. Acting as a brutish foil to the titular character, Malfoy is a student of Hogwarts under the Slytherin house who frequently appears as a bully to Harry and his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger with the help of his cohorts Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle.
Felton starred in all eight of the original Harry Potter films as Malfoy, receiving rave reviews alongside his other young co-stars for his believable performance and growth throughout the franchise.
“I was also one of the only ones who had no idea what Harry Potter was at the time. Anyone could try out for it, so many excited kids went along who loved the books deeply. I reckon I got the part because I was nonchalant and had no idea what anyone was on about. Wizards in cupboards under the stairs? And with three older brothers, you learn to be confident quickly.
Though it seems hard to believe now of someone not being aware of the Harry Potter novels, it's understandable they would've flown under Felton's radar at the time of his auditioning for Malfoy.
Interestingly, Draco Malfoy wasn't the only role Felton auditioned for with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, having also read for both the titular protagonist and Ron Weasley, though would lose both to Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint.
