When you think of the "Slytherins" in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, who do you think of?
Apart from Draco Malfoy, there should be no one else.
That’s right, it’s the “blonde bad boy” with a cool expression who is always against the protagonist.
With her free and flowing blond hair, she is born with nobility.
He is a dazzling presence that can be seen in the crowd at a glance.
The deep blue eyes are cold and repellent, but people can't help but get closer.
With a tall and slender figure, he is a perfect "school idol" level male god.
Paired with his iconic crooked smile, he perfectly captures his "cool bad boy" temperament.
Every time there is a video cut of him appearing, the barrage will explode:
"Young Master", "Ma Tianlong", "Slytherin's No. 1 Male Model/Housekeeper", " "Brother Drag"...
Just a few days ago, Tom Felton, who played "Draco Malfoy", celebrated his 34th birthday.
Even though the picture he posted on his birthday was no longer beautiful and unshaven, he still received nearly 1 million likes from netizens every minute.
Obviously, the charm of "Malfoy" goes beyond his looks.
Someone has calculated that in the "Harry Potter" series of movies, Tom Felton's total playing time was only about 31 minutes.
He is not even ranked as the third male lead, but he has become one of the most popular characters in the movie.
People can’t help but wonder: What kind of magic power does this villain have?
Twenty years ago, Draco Malfoy, with his blond hair, first appeared on the big screen and attracted everyone's attention.
He knew that he would be sorted into Slytherin House. All wizards with pure blood and powerful abilities came from here, so he was very proud.
Like all spoiled children, he was always swaggering and domineering.
Passionate about pranks, always provoking the protagonist, and most likes to see Gryffindor being deducted points.
The funniest thing is that his bluff provocations are often exposed at the first glance, and he is always the one who makes a fool of himself in the end.
"I want to go back and tell my dad!" This sentence became his classic saying after his defeat.
He prides himself on the pure and noble blood of his family, and always looks down on other wizards:
He makes "Harry Stinks" badges and distributes them everywhere to mock Harry; he talks about the Weasley family Ron was poor and shabby; he even insulted Hermione with excessive words like "mudblood".
Finally, he joined Voldemort's camp and became the big devil's little follower.
Various "evil" behaviors have made countless movie fans hate this villain.
But at that time, everyone ignored, "He is just a little boy."
Draco Malfoy also has extremely high wizard talent and can complete the academic master's level A spell that even Hermione couldn't do.
But when he joined the Quidditch team, his classmates thought he was relying on his father to get through the back door.
He was the first person to reach out to Harry Potter and take the initiative to be friends with him, but there was no hand waiting for a response.
After that, he targeted the three protagonists everywhere. Rather than hating them, it would be more appropriate to say he was jealous.
Harry has Ron and Hermione, but he doesn’t even have a real friend by his side.
"My name is Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." First the honor of the family, then his own name.
He could not betray his family, so he was branded with the mark of a Death Eater and became another "chosen" boy.
Unlike children's pranks, what the real "villain" has to experience is darkness and cruelty that he has never thought of.
He was at a loss and maintained his arrogance on the surface;
But because of the great pressure, he secretly hid in the bathroom and cried bitterly.
He was sent to kill Dumbledore, but ultimately failed.
"Don't you understand? I have to do this, otherwise he (Voldemort) will kill me." Malfoy had no choice, struggling between good and evil.
"Draco, you are not a murderer." Dumbledore said.
He is not a good person, but he is not completely bad either.
As we grow up, we can clearly see the struggles and contradictions behind this proud man, and understand the value of Malfoy’s character:
“In this hero In the story of ism, he is like the only visible dust."
When I was a child, I liked the righteous and brave savior. When I grew up, I realized that people are not necessarily good or bad, and contradictions and imperfections are the norm. .
It must be admitted that without Tom Felton's performance, the character of Malfoy would not have such high popularity.
Author Rowling once said: Tom not only gave the character of Draco a soul, but Tom himself is also the best person you can meet.
Tom Felton was a child actor and starred in "The Sojourner" at the age of 8.
With an angelic face and a head of red curly hair, she simply stunned the audience with her cuteness.
Later he played the heroine's son Louis in "Anna and the King", starring opposite Oscar-winning actresses Jodie Foster and Chow Yun-fat at a young age.
With his outstanding appearance and rich acting experience, Tom successfully won the role of Malfoy.
After joining the cast of "Harry Potter", Tom can be regarded as a "senior" among many young actors, and he takes great care of several young actors in private.
In the crew, he is easy-going, kind, lively and active, and is a veritable "group favorite".
Although Malfoy and Harry are rivals in the movie, Tom and Daniel are good friends in real life.
On Daniel’s birthday, he did not forget to send his blessings.
Rupert, who plays "Ron", also wore "love T-shirts" to express love for each other;
Emma even said generously in the interview that Tom It was her first love. At that time, the entire crew knew that she had a "secret crush" on Tom.
Although they have never been together, the two are still close friends with each other today.
Unlike Malfoy’s arrogance in the movie, Tom off-screen is humble and warm.
He will answer every question from fans seriously and will never refuse a photo request.
In order to understand his fans, he even filmed a documentary to listen carefully to the reasons and feelings of fans for chasing stars.
Tina is a sweet soup "mother fan" in her sixties. She has been chasing Tom around the world for more than ten years.
After Tom noticed her, he would tweet to encourage Tina when she was going through a low point in her life;
He would also leave a message every time he was surrounded by fans. Location photo with Tina.
Some fans posted Tom’s encouragement and response to themselves.
The response she received from her idol was what motivated her to be positive and optimistic and persist in doing what she loved.
Perhaps, this is why Tom Felton is affectionately called "Sweet Soup" by fans.
After getting to know him, you will find that his appearance is his least worth mentioning advantage.
Tom, who was born as a child actor and has good acting skills, seems to be very "Buddhist" in his acting career.
It is said that when he was very young, his dream was to become a happy fisherman.
Today, Tom occasionally acts, but mostly plays guitar, makes music and fishes...
He often plays the piano for fans live on Instagram, and also I will meet up with my former friends from the "Harry Potter" crew and play golf together, which is very comfortable and happy.
When he grew up, some movie fans lamented his "decline in appearance" and called him "Mr. Bald", but he didn't care.
From time to time, people see photos of him casually dressed and unshaven in street photos. He himself often jokes that "time is like a butcher's knife."
But he just talks about it and never cleans himself up.
After all, Tiantang has spent the best ten years of his youth forever in "Harry Potter".
He and Malfoy achieved each other's achievements and shocked the memories of a generation.
At the end of Draco Malfoy's story, the once-lost boy was redeemed.
Without the high-spirited and domineering youth, he lived an ordinary life.
In reality, the story of Tiantang continues.
As he said on his birthday:
“It’s been fun 33 years later.
But I still feel that the best is yet to come. ”
“Let good things continue to happen and go to the next 33 together.
