This interview is from 16 magazine in November 2001 The bold writings are Tom's responses

16: How did you prepare for this role?

I practiced facial expressions, and I snarled like a wolf.

16: What was it like working with such great actors?

Richard Harris (who plays Headmaster Dumbledore) and Maggie Smith (who plays Professor McGonagall) are great. I was nervous around Robbie Coltrane (who plays Hagrid) at first; I didn't want to say anything. But then we became friends.

16: Was there anything on the set that you wanted to take home?

I would've taken my wand. It was really cool. It was a bit of a wavy sort of shape.

16: Are you different from Malfoy?

He's very mean. To be honest, I am not that mean. I think he's jealous, and he wants to be the coolest guy in school.

16: Do you prefer to play a bad or good character?

Bad. It's more fun because it's different.

16: What kind of spell would you love to cast on someone?

I'd make their legs stick together so wherever the person went, they would fall over.

16: What magical power would you want to have?

Invisibility. So I could sneak around and go places I shouldn't.

Heres one from mugglenet.com What's the secret to laugh or cry on cue?

There's always something on set to laugh at! To act upset, I think of cold things--don't ask me why!

Which room or set did you most like to work in?

I loved the Slytherin common room--it had weird walls that shimmered as if they were under water.

If you had a secret power, what would it be?

To be able to make the world silent. Sometimes quiet is good.

If you went to Hogwarts, what house would you secretly want to be in and why?

Slytherin! [of course!] I couldn't go to Hogwarts and stick to all the rules. Having a wand would be too useful to keep in your pocket. I couldn't help myself from using it.

This is an interview from newsround Jane, 15, Philippines

Do you have any kind of really memorable moments from making this film?

Tom Felton: Mine's probably about the same as hers but I've got a broom instead, so that was a bit of assistance. That is madness when you see yourself flying through the air on a broomstick, you think how the hell did I do that?

Felicia, 14, Singapore What do you think of your new-found popularity, especially amongst girls? Have you seen any of the fan sites on the internet dedicated to you?

Tom Felton:I can't say I have, I'll have to look into that. I never get to meet any of the people so it's not really as big as I would have hoped really. But it's mad when you go out to a premier, places like that, the people are unbelievable - they're really into the film and do anything for you to come over and talk to them - it's madness.

Lizo: Do you not think of yourself as a bit of a heartthrob?

Tom Felton: Well I'd rather not say but no, not really, just Tom.

Samantha, 13, Singapore I've heard you can sing - have you ever thought of going into the music industry?

Tom Felton: Definitely not - I don't sing and I'm not going to release a single, nothing like that. I'm afraid I do not sing.

Lizo: You've never sung in choirs?

Tom Felton: I was very, very young, very young.

Stacey, 15, Portsmouth How did you get on with Dan Radcliffe, who of course plays Harry, do you get on really well with him or are you enemies off screen?

Tom Felton: We hate each other - no we're friends really because we're on camera about half an hour a day, of course all the other times we're off, so more time being friends than enemies. But when it comes to the cameras rolling I hate him and I show my anger.

Raven, 15 Have you managed to keep anything from the set of the film?

Tom Felton: I managed to get one thing - my Slytherin tie - that's from the first one, not the second one. I asked them if I could have that and they of course had loads of them because of the extras and they said yeah.

Lizo: Do you wear it to school?

Tom Felton: I don't as such - Mufti day's coming up, so I'll wear it for that.

Sarah, 14, USA Were there any good pranks on set?

Tom Felton: So many, that I couldn't tell you any really - every five minutes there was something - there was always something going on, there was always a thing with eyelines - offset eyelines - people always stick up little posters of people or whatever, like Cameron Diaz and it was with different girls every week and all sorts of funny faces or whatever.

Johannah, 13, London How much gel does Tom have to put on his hair to get that flat plastered look?

Tom Felton: Yes I'm glad someone's finally asked that. My head's been plastered with the stuff - I use a pot a day, half in the morning just to get it all waxed up and of course by the time you walk around it sort of just breaks off and they slab on another ton of the stuff. Awful really.

Katherine, 14, USA Have you got any tips for people who want to get into the movies?

Tom Felton: It's one of those things that the more I sort of tried to do it, the more I went on interviews, the more I tried to get the part the less - if I just relaxed and made them laugh and just sort of treated them like normal that seemed to do the trick. If you're desperate to get it you're never going to achieve it.
