'Harry Potter' Tom Felton: 'Fans say Draco is sexier than Harry'

Tom Felton has claimed that some Harry Potter fans think Draco Malfoy is "sexier" than the title character.

The actor has played the Slytherin student alongside Daniel Radcliffe in the eight film-series. Speaking to the Daily Mail, Felton commented that Draco's look made him more appealing than Harry.

"There's something alluring about the dark side," he said. "People say Draco is sexier than Harry. Harry is just a nice guy, surrounded by so many strong characters, whereas Draco stands out on his own.

"And there's something about the way the Malfoys look, with their white hair and black suits. I wouldn't be worried about playing a bad guy for the rest of my life. Ralph Fiennes, Alan Rickman and Jason Isaacs have made fantastic careers out of being memorable villains. I'd be happy to follow in their footsteps."

Felton once again discussed how he had originally auditioned for the role of Harry, but subsequently lost out to Radcliffe.

"There was a time when I did think Daniel got the part I wanted – but with hindsight, I'm very glad he got it," he admitted. "I'm the luckiest of the group.

"I had a good part, which became more central later, and yet I had a normal childhood. I was at state school when I got Draco and I never left. I was out for the odd week or two, sometimes a month."
