These last few weeks leading up to the release of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1." have likely been the best of the year for dedicated Potter fans. Here at MTV News, we've had our eyes on everything from the trailers to the beautifully dark posters, and we've even stolen a few moments with castmembers.
Our most recent chat came courtesy of fan favorite Tom Felton, who, in addition to teasing Draco Malfoy's scenes in the final films, provided commentary on Warner Bros.' lucrative marketing campaign and shared his love for his fellow Potter villains — even the terrifying ones.
"[The posters] are amazing! I love the single [character] ones — especially the ones of Ralph [Fiennes, as Voldemort]," Felton said. "It's a shadow almost with a gleam of white. He's a terrifying guy. ... He's a lovely guy, actually, but with the whole face makeup on, when he literally turns it on, he can be ferocious," he revealed. "Needless to say, there wasn't a lot of acting required when he was going mad. It was pretty terrifying stuff."
Felton added that Fiennes' chilling portrayal of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named ranks at the top of his "Potter" baddest baddies list.
"Ralph has to take biscuit really as the ultimate 'Potter' villain, and he does that effortlessly," Felton said. "But Jason [Isaacs, who plays Felton's father, Lucious Malfoy] has got a little bit of favor as well. I've learned a lot from Jason myself, actually, so he's been incredibly good to me as his onscreen son. And Helena [Bonham Carter] as well," he said. "She's extravagant in every best sense of the word. She's a delight to work with. She goes completely mad on camera, which is fantastic to watch."
