"Harry Potter" dream boat bad guy Tom Felton stopped by the MTV offices, so of course talk turned quickly to "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." The shoot is going to be split into two parts, the first to be released in November 2010 and the second and final "Harry Potter" film to be released in July 2011. MTV News' Tami Katzoff sat down with Tom and asked him for some details involving the novel's flash-forward postscript.
"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," Tom told MTV News. "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."
The decisions to be made in regards to the scene are whether the young actors will play their characters almost two decades into the future a la "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," or whether new older actors will be hired to fill the part.
When MTV talked to director David Yates about the dilemma back in July when he was promoting "Half-Blood Prince," he said, "There's something extraordinary about the audience's knowledge of them when they were this high and then seeing them where they are 38," he said. "There's something really beautiful about that circle, so it has to be them. I think if after seven or eight movies, we recast them in that last scene; we all thought, 'No way, we can't do that.'"
Turns out Tom wouldn't mind if American actors Leonardo DiCaprio or Brad Pitt were cast to play an adult Draco (somehow we don't think those two would quite fit the part), but did say, "It'd be kind of freaky to see what they come up with."
Daniel was a bit more excited about the prospect of his potential transformation when MTV spoke with him in July. "I might get to see what I'd look like if I was 5-foot-8, which will be a thrill for me!" he said with a laugh.
