"Yes I still enjoy playing him. He's the best person to play isn't he?"
About this Quote
The phrase “still enjoy” is the tell. It positions Draco not as a past job but as a recurring identity in Felton’s public life, the role that follows him into interviews, conventions, and algorithmic afterlives. Felton isn’t just talking about acting; he’s talking about continuing to participate in the Harry Potter economy, where performers become custodians of audience longing.
“Playing him” keeps the boundary clear: Draco is a mask, a craft problem, a sandbox for performance. Then he pivots to intimacy: “He’s the best person to play.” Not “character,” but “person,” which humanizes Draco while also flattering the audience’s attachment. The tag question, “isn’t he?”, recruits agreement. It’s a soft sales pitch to the collective memory: we’re in this together, we’re allowed to enjoy the villain, and we don’t have to litigate it every time.
