It's Tom Felton's birthday! Happy birthday, Tom Felton! The actor who played Draco Malfoy turns the grand old age of 28 today, although at least he can take comfort in the fact that his fictional counterpart is already 35 years old. The Hogwarts kids are getting old.

And earlier this year she clarified the reason she would not be attending Draco's birthday party.
