The Official Tom Felton Blog - September 3 2004

Sorry it's been a while since I wrote but I have been ill and then I was away filming. I still feel ill and have lost weight with this stomach bug and really sore throat so that it's really difficult to eat anything. Just feel all hot and cold all the time. The doctor says it's just a virus and my grandmother has the same illness.

So what's happened recently? Passed 9 GCSE's which was OK I suppose. Highest mark was Maths and the rest were OK marks. Got a higher mark than my good friend who had been at school for the whole 2 years of the course so I suppose my marks were OK as I was only there for 1 year and filming most of the previous year. Don't know what I'm going to do next year - see what happens.

I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all of you who send in such nice letters and fantastic pictures. Annie Gumbrell sent in a brilliant tiger pic which I am trying to get on the site. She didn't send her address so I can't thank her personally. I have received lots of presents as well and lots of early birthday cards. Thank you very much! Just to let people know in the US that we can't drive here til you are 17 so I have to wait til Sep.22nd!

Fans are still asking questions so here are a few answers.

I don't have any control over my hair colour - it's the Director's decision as to style - nothing to do with me!
Did I know Emma, Daniel and Rupert before Harry Potter - answer is no and I'm not going out with Emma.
I am nothing like my character which is a questions lots of fans ask including Amy from Rush in Texas
What would I do instead of acting - answer is a professional fisherman
My favourite actors I have worked with are - Brendon Gleeson who is such a nice person, Kenneth Branagh who is a brilliant actor.
Favourite actor in another film I have done has to be CHOW YUN FAT who played the King in the film 'Anna and the King' (he taught me how to sword fight with real swords!).
Favourite female actress I have worked with is Julie Walters.
Favourite actors who I haven't worked with are Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt.

Happy Birthday to anyone with a birthday including Barbara Kralka from Czech Republic on September 29 and Kayta in the Ukraine on 25 September.

I am trying to do an autograph signing in Milton Keynes in November and one in Cologne in Germany at the end of December - anyone interested in coming? A signed A 4 Photo will be £15 with 10% going to my local children's hospice. If you want to come just send a note to my agency at Charlotte Deer Management Ltd, 37 Lodge Road, Fetcham, Surrey KT22 7QY England (don't send any money til you meet me). We will do the usual where you can take photos with me like at the fan club launch in London. Just an idea if anyone is interested. Would love to meet you!

I'm doing a new photo shoot tomorrow so new photos for my Christmas card etc. I'll get some posters done in case anyone wants one. Hope you are all ok and not ill like me!

Love Tom x
