The actor who plays Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films is back in New York this week
for the annual St. Lawrence International Junior Carp Tournament:
This week, a hundred young carp anglers and their families descend on the North Country for the inaugural St. Lawrence International Junior Carp Tournament. Organizers hope the event will make the St. Lawrence a premier fishing destination.
if acting doesn't work out:
BBC: Do you want a career as an actor?
Felton: Whatever life throws at me I'll take it and be grateful for it as well. I'd like to own my own garage and my own fishery. I'd also like to be a professional fisherman. But I'll take whatever happens.
Rummaging through the St. Lawrence tournament site, I stumbled on several high-quality pictures of Tom and his prize catches. Some I had never seen before:
(and another "angle" - pun intended) (and another view)* From Tom Felton UK

Wow, he seems to be quite talented! I've read that PoA will be his last movie as "Draco" and that he wants to pursue his own plans - owning a fishery - after that. Hope that's just a rumour, though ( I love him as Draco! ).

I had seen some of those photos before but not all of them. Whoa! Those fish are almost as big as he is! lol
electra - I've heard that rumor too, although I thought TF had said he would stay with the HP series & see it through so long as the producers still wanted him. (I think this was from an interview on a BBC site, but don't hold me to that. lol) I do hope he stays for as many films as get made.. IMO he is a perfect Draco!

Well, I guess he really isn't peroxide blonde by nature !
;)
But in the first pic his hair is really short (I like it) and his face seems to be sunburnt ? (Or is it the lighting?)
Anyway I'm glad he has a hobby he loves!

Slytherin_Punk88 - I had not seen the first three before, either. I looked on their site (the fishing one I mean not the Tom Felton one) and it says that he is a co-host of the tourney going on this week. There wasn't a date on the photo, though.. but he does look older in those then the previous ones so I'd guess they are relatively newer!

THOSE FISH ARE HUGE!! And to SaphirePotterHarrysSister, i think his natural color is a brownish. Because in the extra stuff on the CoS Dvd when they are interviewing him you can see his roots. They are a light shade of brown. Its cool one of the cast members came to the US as well. Wish they would come to the West Coast!! Fishing is so much fun i love fishing. Looks like Tom and I have something in common. LoL

Wow, from the size of the fish in these pictures, he is a talented fisherman. I hope he wears more sunblock this year.
It would be a great loss is this is his last year as Draco. He really makes the character come alive. :o)

He may be ready for whatever life throws at him, but I sure hope sunscreen is included....

Looks like he had a lot of fun and got a lot of sun. Hopefully he'll be able to keep on fishing. It's a very relaxing sport.

So he's in New York this week. Did anyone go to the event today? It'd be interesting to hear if any fans braved this event just to see Tom.
I checked out the site and there's a Chris Felton mentioned -- I wonder if it's an older brother? ;-) ... then again it may be his dad 8-|

eudaemonia: Chris is Tom's older brother. I saw his picture somewhere on a a website, he's holding a carp. I live in New York but I can't go cause it wayyyy too far, and no one would drive me there.

Does that mean the filming is done with him or is it done overall or is he taking a break?

Hey, I will miss him as Draco, he is great at it.
But he really should be more cautious beeing out in the sun. This can be deadly! And we don't want to loose our Tom Felton, do we?!
