Recently, Misha of Feltbeats interviewed Tom Felton. You can see the full transcript of part one here at SnitchSeeker. The interview was mostly about his new EP, In Good Hands, that will be released soon.

They talked a bit about wizard rock in the portion below:

TF: Well, you know, when I was in America, I was brought aware of this thing called wizard rock. Are you aware of such a thing?

FB: Oh, yeah, definitely!

TF: Oh my god, I had no idea that people were actually making a living out of singing about, you know, Harry Potter! It’s craaazy, man! I find that so fun!

FB: Have you heard any of the songs, then?

TF: The funny thing is, we met a lady once who actually sung in one of the bands. And she got some of her friends on the phone. I think it was a band called ‘Draco and the Malfoys‘?

FB: Yeah, yeah!

TF: Yeah, it’s quite random! And I spoke to them, and was like, “Hello, nice to meet you.” I won’t lie, I thought it was a novelty thing; I didn’t realize it had this huge following! And they actually have gigs and stuff! I was like, “Wow!” I mean, ‘Draco and the Malfoys’ actually toured Europe! It’s incredible.

FB: And have you heard their song “Tom Felton’s Kinda Hot”?

TF: Well, I think I heard about that… Aren’t there guys in that band?

FB: Yes, but it is from Draco’s perspective, see? All the songs in wizard rock are from the perspective of the character the group is named after. So this song is about how Draco thinks you’re a good actor to play him in the movies.

TF: Well, there you go. How bizarre! How bizarre. Wow, well, that gives me more insight!

The part that no one else seems to be reporting is that the “lady” he refers to is Erin Pyne of The House of Black, who had dinner with Tom in January. You can read her blog entry about it here, where she talks about giving him some wrock CDs and a Draco and the Malfoys tshirt, amongst other things.
