Tom Felton Talks Spooning With Daniel Radcliffe And Life After Harry Potter

Tom Felton on Harry Potter and its future

Coordinated chants of "yummy" greeted a blushing Tom Felton as the Harry Potter star took the stage at the Big Apple Comic Con this weekend. Costumed fans, who proudly declared that they had been stalking him all day, asked Felton everything from his take on fan fiction to what he thinks his life will look like when he's no longer Draco Malfoy.
