Harry Potter' Star Tom Felton Explains How Actors Will Age In 'Deathly Hallows'

We've been openly speculating about it for far too long: How will the minds behind "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" shoot the story's epilogue, which picks up almost two decades in the future? Would director David Yates and his team hire older actors to stand in for Daniel Radcliffe and the rest of the cast or would he employ special effects to age the familiar "Potter" faces?

Now we know for sure. Speaking with MTV News, co-star Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) revealed that he and the rest of the cast will play older versions of their characters. What's more — achieving those looks will require a mix of prosthetics and CGI technology.

Tom Felton: "Non-Stop Carnage" for Last Hour of "Deathly Hallows"

Actor Tom Felton recently gave a new interview during which he spoke briefly about the final battle sequence and end of the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" film. The video, which can be seen here, Mr. Felton comments on to what to expect in the final film, by saying:

"Unquestionably more exciting and more substantial as well... the final half an hour, or the final hour, really, of the last film is going to be non-stop carnage and I can't wait to see it."

The interview continues with discussion of the bleached blonde hair he must endure as Draco, feelings of nostalgia as the shooting comes to an end, as well as his plans for the future.
