Tom Felton Says He's Had 'Vicious' Fans Mad at Him Over Draco Malfoy's Treatment of Harry Potter

It's no secret that Harry Potter's nemesis was Draco Malfoy in the famous children's book series. From the very first time we saw Draco on screen, we knew he was a little brat, but as the series went on we saw a troubled teenager change come out of the Battle of Hogwarts with some sort of redemption. However, fans are still apparently giving Tom Felton a hard time about his character all these years later.

In a new interview with Extra, Felton talked about what fans still say to him to this day. "I have had a few run-ins with people, some very very vicious lectures about how dare I be so rude to Harry," Felton said at the NYC celebrations of Universal Orlando Resorts' new Harry Potter ride Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.

But while he's still getting shamed for his character, Felton is proud JK Rowling's Wizarding World is growing. "I genuinely thought when the last film finished that the Harry Potter flame would just slowly diminish, and I'm being proven wrong every year," he admitted.

Felton also commented that the new ride is a great addition to the park, which allows fans to ride on motorbikes going through the Forbidden Forest. The ride opens on June 13, 2019.
