Tom Felton walked the red carpet for the world premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II that took place in Trafalgar Square on Thursday, July 7th.

The 23 year-old actor who has played the villainous Draco Malfoy for all 8 films says he and his costars weren’t chosen because they were fantastic actors but rather as kids who’s looks fit the character descriptions in the J.K. Rowling series of books.

“Let’s be honest: we weren’t picked for Harry Potter for our acting ability – it was because we looked like the characters as they’d been written,” Felton said.

“We started out as rank amateurs, and we’ll be lucky if we’ve learnt something over the past ten years. It’s a question of what we do with that now, where we go from here.”

Felton is doing well for himself at the moment. He has filmed The Apparition with Ashley Greene due in 2012 but at the end of this month, he’s attending another big premiere.

The actor is costarring with James Franco and Frieda Pinto in the August 5th release of Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
