MTV’s After Hours series is always good for a laugh and this video is no exception. Josh Horowitz takes the Harry Potter actors on a journey of American phrases that are ridiculously common and yet so funny to hear from British actors out of any context at all. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Tom Felton are great sports and all do their level-headed best to say “Olive Garden,” “Charlie Sheen,”  “boo-yah” and a few others, but then sneaky Mr. Horowitz throws in “Twilight Blows.”

Can I just say how much I love Josh Horowitz for this? There – I just did – in my best freedom language accent!

Tom Felton came out to the New York City premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 at Alice Tully Hall on Monday (November 15th) night. The actor spoke about his character, Draco Malfoy and his softening in the final films:

What has Draco learned since Half Blood Prince?

He’s learned that he’s not cut out to be the villain that he once thought he was. He’s certainly realized that his father isn’t quite the greatest influence or role model that he once took him for. And I think he realizes that he’s in a really horrible place now, he’s terrified to be where he is. And I think he sympathizes with Harry a little bit and he wishes he could have helped him out earlier on.

What’s it like playing remorseful Draco instead of mean Draco?

It’s cool. It actually really nice, it’s always nice to play something differently or find something new. It’s always nice when a character has a journey or an arc like this. And in these last two films you really see him step out of his father’s shadow and start to think for himself.

Tom will hit the July premiere for the final Hogwarts movie and Felton’s next film, Apparition with Ashley Greene is due September 2011.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 premiered in New York City on Monday November 15th at Alice Tully Hall and Lourdes Leon hit the black carpet for the event.

The 14 year-old daughter of Madonna was casual cool in a blue dress with a skull print scarf and union jack clutch. The teenager is currently in the drama program at LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts and works with her famous mom on the line of juniors clothing, Material Girl, sold at Macy’s. Check out her blog (she doesn’t update too often – I’m sure she’s busy at school) to find out what’s she up to.

Tom Felton attended the 2010 Pride Of Britain Awards in London at the Grosvenor House Hotel with his long time girlfriend, Jade Olivia. The awards celebrate those who overcome personal adversity or show bravery in the face of impossible odds.

Felton and Olivia seemed genuinely happy to be together and were all smiles on the red carpet. The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows actor was recently asked if he was a romantic and the 23 year-old said:

“Incredibly. Young Casanova here! Once every couple of months, I do things properly. I get roses, teddy bears and balloons. It sounds corny, but I also write songs about Jade and play ballads on the guitar.”

Too sweet! Felton always comes across as the complete opposite of his Draco Malfoy character. He’s got a warmth and charm that I hope he gets to show more of as he lands more roles now that Harry Potter is over.

Two more Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 movie posters have surfaced. This time Tom Felton’s Draco Malfoy and Dobby the House Elf get the super close up shots. The posters really do convey the sense of tragedy and fear that these last two movies are set to bring about.

I have to say – I am looking forward to the movie, but hope the posters are going to come to and end. It’s only a month more to go before the movie debuts (November 19th.) I know I want behind the scenes interviews with the cast and some more teaser clips. Thankfully at least one new trailer is on the horizon. The new clip is set to be shown at tonight’s Spike TV 2010 Scream Awards. The ceremony takes place tonight in Los Angeles but won’t be shown until Tuesday October 19th. I’ll probably watch it just for that.

Warner Bros released a new trailer for Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 earlier this week and WOW! does it look amazing! This trailer gives a fantastic preview of the epic battles we will see on screen in November. The official synopsis:

Part 1 begins as Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort’s immortality and destruction—the Horcruxes. On their own, without the guidance of their professors or the protection of Professor Dumbledore, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever. But there are Dark Forces in their midst that threaten to tear them apart.

Meanwhile, the wizarding world has become a dangerous place for all enemies of the Dark Lord. The long-feared war has begun and Voldemort’s Death Eaters seize control of the Ministry of Magic and even Hogwarts, terrorizing and arresting anyone who might oppose them. But the one prize they still seek is the one most valuable to Voldemort: Harry Potter. The Chosen One has become the hunted one as the Death Eaters search for Harry with orders to bring him to Voldemort…alive.

Harry’s only hope is to find the Horcruxes before Voldemort finds him. But as he searches for clues, he uncovers an old and almost forgotten tale—the legend of the Deathly Hallows. And if the legend turns out to be true, it could give Voldemort the ultimate he seeks.

Little does Harry know that his future has already been decided by his past when, on that fateful day, he became “the Boy Who Lived.” No longer just a boy, Harry Potter is drawing ever closer to the task for which he has been preparing since the day he first stepped into Hogwarts: the ultimate battle with Voldemort.

Lots more photos and the new trailer are below.

Tom Felton hit San Diego, California on Saturday’s Comic-Con 2010 to deliver some never-before-seen footage of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. From the report, the films really do take on a different tone – this is the war in the Harry Potter universe – and the action is cranked up to crazy intense levels.

There was one awesome shot that has stuck with me of Hermione (Emma Watson) firing her wand at bad wizards chasing the three of them in the woods, and the aggression in her movements made her fear palpable. The acting in these films looks absolutely phenomenal from what we’ve seen, and the extended look at the tent fight scene between Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and Ron (Rupert Grint) sent chills down my spine.

Some other peeks: The first images of Rufus Scrimgeour were shown along with Bill and Fleur’s wedding scene and some images of Snape, the Death Eaters and Voldemort urging Harry to give up so he can save everyone.

Hopefully Warner Brothers releases this on the net soon so everyone can get a glimpse. It certainly has everyone talking – bring it on!
