Draco’s Starting to Look…Older.

UniversHarryPotter.com, a French Harry Potter site, has new image up of Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) from the upcoming Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. (Also find the image here) As you can see, it’s just a straight-forward publicity-type image…and one thing instantly jumps out at me:
Although Daniel, Emma and Rupert still fit the image of teenage wizards, Tom’s looking a little…mature.
Maybe it’s just his scowling expression, but he looks like he could pass for 26 more easily than he can pass for 16. Either way, he still works for the part (and I don’t think I could handle any of the actors changing at this point) as he isn’t supposed to have the boyish charm of Daniel or Rupert. He needs an edge. He needs to be that guy we all knew in high school who looked a couple years older than everyone else and used that to his advantage to try to bully the Harry’s and Ron’s of the school.
