Tom Felton headed to the 2011 Jameson Empire Film Awards held at the Grosvenor House in London that took place earlier today, March 27th.

Felton collected the award that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, part 1 received for Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy Film on behalf of director David Yates.

The 23 year-old actor told the audience “A huge thank you to all the Empire readers and the fans for a decade of support; we wouldn’t be here without you. You must excuse the absence of David Yates; he’d love to be here but he’s putting the finishing touches on our epic finale, which is why I’m here. So thanks again, and have a great evening.”

Felton, along with the rest of the HP cast, will be doing a lot of press for the final film in the Harry Potter franchise. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 is due out in the U.S. on July 15th.

Felton is also costarring in another summer film: Rise of the Apes, with James Franco, Freida Pinto and John Lithgow. The release date of this has been changed again – it will now open in theaters on August 5th.
