Child actors have always been important to the entertainment industry. As a result, multiple children around the world often get the chance to star in a movie or two. The pressure to perform extremely well is not as high as it is for most adults. However, the pressure was on the leads of Harry Potter, JK Rowling’s mega-franchise. Months of searching around the world ended up with four children, who were thrust into the spotlight the moment they landed the roles. Tom Felton was one of those kids; He played the famous role of Draco Malfoy in the franchise and justified the months-long search with two major awards for his performance as the story’s villain.

Tom Felton’s early exposure to the entertainment industry made him one of the few children to have had any acting skills before joining the cast of Harry Potter. But not even his experience prepared him for theworld fame that came after his appearance in the legendary film. Was he able to handle it well and build a decent film career into adulthood? Read below to learn more.

It was a career-defining decade for the actor. After the end of the Harry Potter franchise in 2011, Tom Felton was known worldwide and tasked with building a career independent of his Harry Potter performances – a difficult task for any actor ever to star in a long-running, popular project. Tom Felton has done a great job and has since appeared in over 17 films and TV shows, including major projects such as Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Embassy of the King, Risen, and One United Kingdom On television, he has also played Julian Albert aka Doctor Alchemy on the superhero show, The Flash. He then starred as Logan Maine for a 2018 television show, Origin
