Twitchy little ferret aren't you, (Naked) Malfoy?

[Lolua]

Some of you will like this "news" (if we can call it that at this point) and some of you will wretch into the nearest receptacle or pass out or groan loud enough to wake the dead.

LiveJournal user Dawniky (TLC reader Dawn) asked Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) a couple of questions at the Meet and Greet he held for the launch of his self-promoting official fan club this weekend. Here's her transcript of the ensuing conversation (I've done a little proofreading and adding bold for emphasis, nothing major):

Dawn: Can I ask you a question?
Tom: Sure.
Dawn: Who do you think Draco will end up with, girl – or boy wise?
Tom: *Thinks* I still think Hermione is going to turn evil and go out with him.
Dawn: But Hermione’s with Ron!
Tom: Ah yes. *knowing I’m right* But there aren’t any girls for Draco, are there?
Dawn: There’s Pansy, but she’s… *makes face*.
Tom: She isn’t in the forth one. You could try out for Draco’s girlfriend
Dawn: *Blushes and grins madly*
Dawn: Is the ferret scene in the movie?
Tom: *Thinks what I’m talking about, then realises* It’s in the film. *laughs* I have to run across the school naked. (I’m not sure if he is joking or not)
Dawn: REALLY?! *Jaw drops, blush turns red*
Fangirls behind me: sdgflkngsjbnglsfdbgsngs!!!!
Dawn: Well, thanks. I’ll look forward to seeing that, bye.

WTF, mate? Naked Draco? I really, really hope Tom's kidding. I wouldn't be able to handle the drooling of the Felton Fangirls in the theater.

Possibly, he could be changed into a ferret by Moody, drop out of his clothes, and then pop back into Draco again... sans culottes and everything else.

Big Brother and I had the thought earlier that it might count as kiddie-porn because he's not of age (either here or across the Pond), but there are lots of movies with nude kids and young teens running around, right? Now And Then (PG-13) had 12-year-old boys running from the swimming hole when their clothes were stolen by Christina Ricci, Gaby Hoffman, Thora Birch, and the girl who grew up to be played by Rita Wilson. Simon Birch (PG) had 10-year-olds making jokes about shrinkage when swimming in the lake.

And anyway, we'll have to see Dan Radcliffe in a similar state of undress for the scene with Moaning Myrtle in the prefects' bathroom, right? So at least Tom will have some company in his (partial) nudity. (Geez, this is gonna feed the Harry/Draco slash fans like nobody's business...)

Maybe there's a merchandising opportunity here: Fangirl Survival Kits, complete with Drool Towel and Life Vest.

Well, so long as they don't show any of the naughty bits, they can always have a scene of implied nudity with Draco. But here's hoping we aren't subjected to a shot of his firm-but-pale-like-only-an-inbred-Brit-can-be-pale buttocks pumping as he runs down the hall.

*quirks eyebrow* Clearly, you've thought quite a bit about this.... ;D

We know now that there are ferrets on set. Laly from French site Potter World Online sent news in to HPANA that:

This morning, on a French radio report (Radio France), a woman was interviewed and she said some things about the 4th Harry Potter set, and especially about the animals training on the set. It seems that one of her relatives is working now in Oxford and is taking care of ferrets for some scenes in GoF.

Clearly, you can think about the Malfoy/Moody scene, but that's only a deduction - time will tell. And it can also be cut at the end of the filming, but we all know now that there is a possibility that we can see this famous scene in [the movie].

So if the ferrets are on-set, I guess the plan is to film the Amazing Bouncing Ferret scene.

naked Draco? If I want to see that I can just go downstairs in the morning and pull the covers off him. Oh wait, that's just my fantasy world.

He's a bit young for me to be looking at his rear end, but I don't think I'll mind...

As for ferrets... I love ferrets. It pained me that they were dead in the last movie. I pray they meet a better fate in this one.
