Fox News
Tom Felton shared his admiration for "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling in a new interview. The author regularly recieves threats online after she voiced her beliefs on biological sex.
"I can't speak for what other individuals have said," he told the outlet. "I am constantly reminded that the Potter-verse, certainly when we were finishing the films, there was an expectation that the fandom would be dwindling slowly over the years, whereas most fans that say hello to me, shout ‘Potter’ or ‘Draco’ at me weren't even born when the books were being made." Lauryn Overhultz is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
"I am quick to remind myself and others that ‘Potter’ for some reason has brought more people together across the world and more generations than probably anything else has in the past 20 years, and I'm quick to celebrate that," he added. "It came from one person, and that's her, so I'm very grateful." She has interviewed many celebrities including Tori Spelling, Luke Bryan, Shania Twain and more.
Lauryn has done on the ground coverage as well including traveling to New Mexico in 2021 to cover the on-set shooting involving Alec Baldwin.
