Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

[butterfly]

Draco is my favorite character. I'm sure that some of you already know this.

Tom Felton was very good. Disdain, arrogance, suppressed longing... he had it down.

I was riveted from the moment that they moved up to him sulking on the balcony above Harry. He was so... cute. All intensely staring down at Harry. [singsong] Someone's got a crush. [/singsong]

And then he just says, "Potter" in the greatest way. "Potter."

And he was great with the Faux Crabbe and Goyle.

And the duel! Grr.

And in Quidditch. And whenever they had him react. They showed nearly as many reaction shots of Draco as they did of the Trio.

In the end! Where either Crabbe or Goyle is about to stand up clapping and he just grabs him and hauls him back down!

Brilliant!

I do wish that they'd had the scene with Draco and Lucius in Knockturn Alley. I hope that they filmed it and it's in the deleted scenes when the DVD goes out. I think that they did, because in 'order of appearances' Draco and Lucius are listed before Hagrid and Harry runs into Hagrid in the Alley. Ergo, they must have filmed a scene with those two that would have been before that.

Pretty sure it was Crabbe. My favorite part of that, though, was that he didn't just scowl and yank the poor boy down, he gave him this, "what the fuck are you doing?" look and pulled him down gently. Quite boyfriendly.

He's actually a lot nicer about pushing them around than you might expect from the books.
