The actor plays Draco Malfoy in the popular film franchise and revealed that devotees of the series are not keen on meeting him in real life, STV reports.
He said: "For love nor money I can't convince a 6-year-old that I'm a nice guy in real life. He just thinks I'm trying to lure him into the Slytherin way!"
The 21-year-old added that no amount of coaxing can convince children that he is nothing like his on-screen alter ego.
"I always try to make special efforts but they're not having it. They hide behind their parents' legs and say, 'No thanks Daddy, I don't want to meet this one'."
Felton recently said that although he is drawn to "solemn villain" roles, he is keen to broaden his horizons.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens in cinemas on July 17.
