HARRY POTTER Star Tom Felton Explains What Makes Draco Malfoy’s Redemption Arc “Cool” — GeekTyrant
Apr 24, 2024
Tom Felton played Draco Malfoy throughout eight Harry Potter films, and he played the part quite well. All these years later the actor still looks back on his time in the franchise and is sharing his thoughts on it.During a recent interview with US Weekly, the actor opened up about Draco’s story arc in the film and what it was that made his redemption so cool. All these years later, fans are seeing Draco in a new light.When addressing this, Felton said: “I mean obviously he’s a slimy, he’s not exactly the most desirable character at times. But, it’s nice to see, yeah, it’s really, really cool to see the correlation between the fact that Harry had no parents, and he came out brilliantly with honor, love and respect and truth being at the heart of it.”He continued: “And Draco having both parents, but not so good ones, and that he ended up being the bully because…You know, there’s so many different subtle arcs now that are being discovered, and I think it’s really cool.”Felton concluded: “I think the redemption of Draco, slight redemption, I don’t think he was born to be the hero at all, but the slight understanding that he was a bully because he was basically bullied it’s quite cool.”While you can’t really call Draco a hero, by the end of the story, he’s also not the villain anymore. There were plenty of opportunities that could’ve driven Draco to become a full-on villain. I mean, at one point he could’ve killed Dumbledore! But, he chose not to. It just shows that not everything deals with heroes and villains, some people are just in that grey area trying to figure their shit out.
