Tom Felton
(Draco) from the Harry Potter movies had his first fan club meeting at London's Chelsea Football Club yesterday and CBBC Newsround has a report as well as some pictures from the event.
Tom had invited a selection of fans by letter/phone and his website to come and meet him in person and had this to say about the turnout:
"I am really happy with the turnout. You can tell how much some people really want to be here, because they can't speak!"
Also dawniky's has a LiveJournal report & pictures posted about her experience. Thanks to Mugglenet for the tip.
Update: Tom has updated his website with pictures and an entry about the day's events.

Always believed Tom Felton is a VERY nice guy in fact :) I don't know why... He is OK as Malfoy, but when I see him I always think that it would be could just to chat with him, to make friends. Now I see it's POSSIBLE to have a meeting with him, and it's not surprisingly ;)

That is cool that he actually meets with his fans. Not many celebritys do that! I wonder how big a meeting it was and what they did there?

Tom is such a sweetie!! Although I don't have an über crush on him like many girl fas of HP are I still would have loved to meet him. One interview of his cracked me up, it was the one done by the Sun. It was before the movie came out and he was discussing how the "Hermione slaps Draco scene" went. I hope those fans that visited him talked him out of a life of becoming a fisherman and onto being an actor because the acting world will have definitely has lost some good blood if he becomes a fisherman!

I found great Tom's idea to meet his fans, the only think I don't agree, is the fact that he asked them £25 for the annual membership in the Fan Club.
Do you think it's correct to ask money for that? After all, he must be thanklful to his fans for his success....
If every movie star asks money for signing their autographs, then it will become a real bunsiness!

Hhee...well lucky all those girls who will get to meet him. I wonder whether he's done an agreement with that football club to put up their reputation. Probably true *shrugs*

Tom seems like a really cool guy. Not many people organise meetings with their fans. It would have been great to go. If only Dan, Rupert or Emma could do that!!!! I think I'll go check out Tom's site now!!!!!

He is so cheesy! I know there are many fans that were extremely excited to get the chance to meet him. I am just not sure what the big fuss is about!

Oh my gosh!!! Tom Felton is really nice, obviously. Does it say where he held the meeting? If it was held near where I live, I'm bummed that he didn't invite me, or at LEAST one of my friends. Maybe when they came back, they could tell me what happened, that would be enough for me. It would be AWESOME if he invited me, he is so cute, AND I haven't seen any celebrities in my life. Did anyone here go to the meeting? If so, I'd like to hear about it, TERRIBLY!
