The Scene Tom Felton Wishes Had Made It Into Harry Potter
Tom Felton knows that some wizarding families are better than others, Potter.
When he reflects on his time playing Draco Malfoy in the eight Harry Potter films, one deleted scene with his onscreen father Lucius Malfoy (Jason Isaacs) stands out to him. He wishes this scene had made it into the final cut of The Chamber of Secrets.
“I think the films were perfect in their own way,” Tom told E! News in an exclusive interview. “And they know a lot more about it than I do, I was only 13. But there’s a scene with me—and it’s actually the first time I’ve worked with ‘Dad’—at Borgin and Burkes. I think it’s on one of the DVDs as a deleted scene.”
The scene in question, which can be viewed online or in extended versions of the film, shows Draco exploring the dark magic shop before Lucius reminds him, in his quintessential drawl, to “Touch nothing.”
Even so, the 36-year-old actor believes the movies are truly magical.
“If I could go back and redo things,” he continued, “obviously there are things that I look back at myself as an 11-year-old and cringe and go, ‘What are you doing?’ But other than that, I think they told the stories perfectly.”
