Could Tom Felton play Riley?

in Cast & Characters, Eclipse Movie

MTV has an article talking about if Tom Felton could play Riley in the Eclipse movie?
Tom plays Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies.
Do you think he would make a good Riley?
Read the article here.
That would be a really good role for Tom. But I like the fact that Summit is casting actors who are virtually unknowns. It makes the movies fresh and different.
ME LOVE ME SOME TOM. He is soooo FINE!!!! jaja He is like my most major Hollywood crush ever.Since Harry Potter 3 he has been in my radar and I agree with Kristin24.
Tom is in the Storycasting database, as are the Twilight novels. You can all come to Storycasting and cast Tom Felton as Riley – or any other book-role-actor combination.

“for the movie in your mind”
Ok no no no no he is from harry potter he needs to stay with the wizards he does not have enough BALLS to be a vampire so he can stay in his own little wizard fairy tale
i tink he will be great!
No thank you… I prefer the idea of Summit getting smaller roled actors into big roles…
He needs to stay in Harry potter… Sorry Tom.
yah he could play Riley
LOVE YOU TOM!!!
No.
i think he’d be great!!
anyone forgetin that rob was in harry potter? should he hav stayed ther n not been are amazin edward?
Yeah he could…hes kinda like how i pictured Riley…
,.he’s already a big star! give others the chance to shine
I think he would be perfect
I think he can be Riley..
but that would be like stealing him from harry potter…
I can already imagine him as Riley…..
Especially when he was crying for Victoria
It would be a smaller role though.???
I think he’d play an excellent Riley!
I can see him play Riley!
I always imagined someone like him play that role.
But I think it also will be great to have a new upcoming talent to play Riley
I totally agree with TwilightObsessed.. he is exactly how I pictured Riley
Well, Rob Pattison had a small role in Harry Potter, then a bigger role in twilight – the biggest. Tom Felton has a bigger role in the newest Harry Potter movie (Just came out today, finally!!!) so why couldn’t Tom have just a small role in twilight? Plus, he’d get to work with Rob, who is an old co-star. I think they should give Tom a chance!
NO WAY!!!!!!! he is kinda hot i pictured him but i mean just look at his hair! ewww!
~mrs.lautner
Wow, I think he would be a good Riley!!!
Thats how I pictured him, thats weird! Im not into Harry Potter so I didnt even know who this kid was!
OMG
he would be heaps awesome as Riley!!
The only reason his hair looks like that, is because they bleach it three times a week, and he pretty much spend’s more time with the make-up people then the whole cast combined. I think Tom could be a good Riley, but at the same time, I feel like he is really attached to the Harry Potter movies, and putting him in the part of Riley’s would…look like ‘stealing’ him away from Harry Potter.
wow he would look awsome being Riley
thats like totaly how he looks
Yah, I think he would be a good Riley
to the first person I laughed so hard at your review, you think Dakota Fanning isn’t well known?
i can picture him as riley and he would do a good job, but i want someone who is small in the movie world to get a chance…:]
yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it would be soooooooo cool if both tom a nd rob were in the film together cause they did harry potter and the goblet of fire together, to harry potter people would be in the twilight series, cool
i think he would do a good job!
he fits the role and i can totally see him as riley, or alex for that matter.
I think they should definitely consider him!
oh and i agree with golden eyes, golden heart!!
however it would also be great to intoduce someone else’s new talent, and put them in the spotlight
NO!!!!!!!!! just no! no! no! no! never ever!!! no way! not a chance!!! tom CANNOT plat Riley he is completly WRONG!!! he’s a mean wizerd NOT a foolish young vampire!!! like someone above me wrote tom does not hav the balls 4 da job! giv som1 unknown a chance at a lil fame! plz! because tom is just soooo wrong 4 riley! NO!!!!!!!!!!! just no! no! no! no! never ever! no way! ot a chance!!! lol! soz tom but not really!
I hope Summit listens to the fans and put an unknown actor for Riley.
I can imagine Tom for Riley but no, he should stay with Harry Potter.
I think Tom will be perfect as Riley.I is just GREAT!!
He will be perfect as riley.I say YES YES YES!
he’d be Great I was like who’s tom felton cuz i didnt no him by name and was like oh…. Draco
I think that he would be a great Riley Cuse even in Harry potter he plays the villian
Although I could totally see Tom playing Riley, I agree with the person who said that Summitt needs to get a lesser known actor. This could potentially be a great breakout role for an unknown and Tom is already so involved with HP. Sorry Tom, love the idea of you playing Riley but I would have to pick someone else.
Didn’t Bella say that Riley reminded her of Emmet? I don’t see Tom as Riley.
I don’t think so..I really don’t see him playing Riley.
i have read Eclipse many times and i never pictured riley to look like tom . but it could maybe work ? but i do agree with charlotte and lorie. i think that summit should get a lesser known actor . this would be such a big opportunity and although tom could maybe work with this role i thiink he should just stay with harry potter .
I agree with maddie. I didnt picture riley looking like him. They need a lesser know actor. He needs to stick with harry potter
for me he doesnt look like MY riley and he is too well known for the role he should find another film to star in … no offence to anyone
I think that tom would be perfect for the role as Riley
Mmmm… Hi is a really great actor (I’ve see him in a couple of movies beside Harry Potter) But definably his not Riley. I would love much better is Riley was be play by Channing Tattum (I’m not sure if I spell it right) or at least someone on that type.
Yes, I think Tom would be great as Riley. He is a great actor who is able to play many different types of roles. Go for it Summit!
no way.
hes cute.
but that is not how riely should look..
Honestly Riley is such a small part (well in the book) that it doesn’t really matter as long as he is younger and a bit more naive.
I’m not sure. There’s two sides to me — one of the sides is saying YES, he’s a great actor, evil and would be a good baddie.
The other side is saying NO, Rob was also in Harry Potter so it’s like stealing characters from HP, they should stick to more unknown actors [I almost cried when I found out Dakota Fanning was going to play Jane!] and that he and Victoria look too…I dunno, unright together! Like putting peanut butter with marmalade instead of jelly. And they sort of clash, like red and blue. I dunno.
hale yes he whould good playing riely!!!!!!8i dont like him !!!!!when edward kills him i will be so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!is rob going to be a dad????
He could be a great riley because the way he looks but i dont want him to because i dont like him i mean he’s from harry potter and i know i dont like harry potter but he’s in it and i dont like him at all so my anwser is a NO!
I think he’d be pretty good as Riley…i mean, it’s a small part anyways, and hey! Two Harry Potter friends (Pattinson as Edward, and also plays in Goblet of fire, and Felton as Malfoy) would be on set again! ha ha!
omg that would be awesome!! hes hotter then robert!!
and by the way, twilight sucks compared to harry potter, harry potter made more money on the first night then twilight did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he would prob be a good Riley..
but im sorry i just dont want him in Eclipse. He is from Harry Potter and he needs to stay in HP. he doesnt need any more fame. HP gives him enough of it.
and im not really a big fan of his. no offense.
they need someone unknown to be Riley.
..and to edward loves me!!!!!!!!
no rob is not gonna be a dad.
that was just a rumor.
ppl need to stop spreading ridiculous s***
YES
Please someone delete comment # 51, it’s just to stupid to be post!!!
Oh no i hope not, i’m still banking for Channing Tatum, i think he would be great for the part. Don’t really see this guy as Riley…
i with you Arianna……….Yes u do think he would be a good Riley!!!!:):):):):):)
ok hellz no the last thing we need is a guy 4rm harry pothead in twilight no way that would so ruin the movie come malfoy however u spell his well like i even kare but i hope he doesnt hes not twilight material so choose another guy plz
I second that Arianna!
If your gonna stay stuff like that, then go to another site!!!
Only twilight lovers here…the rest STAY OUT!!
WHO’s Channing Tatum (cool name)?
lolz im with arianna if u think harry potter is better then twilight go somewhere else this website is 4 twilight fans not harry pothead fans so yea bye
rite on team carlisle oh channing tatum is the guy that plays in step up lolz
OOHHH oK , well its such a small part, either one would be good. Its just so weird that this is how I pictured Riley, and I have never seen this kid before. I dont watch Harry Potter(well once I found out that Rob was in a small part of one of them then I watched that part) so I had no clue who he was.
I dont want to be rude but to people who are saying that he is a ”wizard” not a ”vampire” they have to realize that he is neaither a ”wizard” nor a ”vampire”.He and everybody else who is being consider for the role are ACTORS.And if they are being consider is because the director and casting crew think that he is enough of a good actor to pull of the role.He is not going to be pick just because he is cute.If he does get to be pick then we shouldn’t say that he is not going to pull the role of until we see the movie.Who knows. He might make a good Riley.
On the other hand newer less known actors would be nice but we enter the risk of said-less-know actor not being proffesional enough and taking the role as a joke.Tom knows more of the bussiness and would be more proffesional and mentally ready for the job.
I am all out for him and Channing Tatum.We will see who Summit decides on.
I just saw a video about Channing Tatum( wow he is really cute) and I think he looks a bit to old. Maybe its just me but I pictured Riley to look younger like this guy. Oh well Eclipse is my favorite book so I will like whoever they put.
i think he could be good at the role but, i agree with kristen24, on how they are putting more unknown acotrs which makes the movie nice and fresh. and i also agree with Rae, im pretty sure bella did say that, so i dont think he is big enough.but, idk, besides that, i think he would do well
HALE YES!! i would LOVE him to play riley!! OMG!
~Alice~
Ummm I dont know what to say. I think he could be good at it i mean heck he’s evil in HP so im sure he could play a vamp I think they should give him the role I mean heck Rob came from HP so why not tom its not like hes gonna be in the last movie and you will only see him for a little while in this movie before seth kills him so do it.
yes he could totally play riley!! thats exactly wat i pictured riley would look like..!!
Yes I think he could play a really good Riley on Eclipse.
whoo! yes yes yes a million times
Wow its like Harry Potter and Twilight is going back and forth. Rob Was in Harry Potter. And is now in twilight. Jamie Capell Bower is in New Moon and now going to be in Harry Potter. And Now Tom Felton is going to be in twilight. Its Way to confusing.
i think he would make a qood riley :]
i kinda pictured him like that too
but who knows … i’ll be fine
w. whoever they pick
& he’s a hottiee
yeah he should totally play Riley!
oh and please somebody delete comment 51:
“omg that would be awesome!! hes hotter then robert!!” this got me mad
“and by the way, twilight sucks compared to harry potter, harry potter made more money on the first night then twilight did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” and when I read this it made me so f*cking furious with her I hate it when people go to a twilight fan site or to youtube videos about twilight and start talking sh*t about the saga if you hate twilight why the f*ck are in a place thats made for twilight fans
for me this girl is just a complete idiotic moron if people don’t like twilight then fine thats your opinion and I respect it but don’t go round and post “twilight sucks” in site where people are just gonna talk about how great twilight is that is just o disrespectful
I think this emilee is just enjoys annoying twilight fans
PS this comment made me so made that I even said bad words I never do that unless someone just pushes my buttons way to hard
Ive never put alot of thought into riley but he seems like a good fit. Im not a fan of it but I have nothing against harry potter and dont see why others would, sounds stupid to me…but I wouldnt have a problem with him and def not wit channing tatum, he might be a lil too old for other people’s vision but I would love to see that sexiness on screen =] lol
i think he would be an awesome riley
The thing is Riley is describe as a college guy (early 20th) and he barely looks 18th to me
I don’t know guys, he and Victoria are suppose to be a couple and he kinda looks a little to young for her
well he is a bad guy in harry potter i think he will be
great in the movie
It should be really great!
Ya I think he could.
yes and no. yes cause u know he can pull off the look and aditude. no because we have seen him to much w/ harry potter.
i think he would be a nice choice. especally given the performance I just saw last night form him as Malfoy for the sixth HP.
I totally love Harry Potter more. But I do love Twilight. I am gonna tell you that if you don’t like it this is my opinion and I am entitled to it just as you are. I think about the books when it comes down to it. The Harry Potter books well there is 7 of them and they are fantastic. If you would give them a chance. They are just as fascinating. For another thing they are way better written. I love Twilight though the books are great. But are not really in the same league when it really comes down to it. I watched the movie and it was so awesome.
Another thing the Harry Potter series has grossed way more than I think Twilight will!! It has done awesome so far and will beat Twilight in sells always. I know you don’t have to like it but that is the facts of it.
If you have seen the movie you saw how great Tom Felton did his part and you would have no doubt in your mind that he could pull off Riley and be great at it. He is beautiful to. Now with that said not as goodlooking as Robert Pattinson but more eye candy. Robert Pattinson is very hot and the only reason I will watch the Twilight movies.
But these are my opinions and I really don’t give a dang for that matter what any of you think about them!!!!
i think he would be good for it, if they made his hair a more dirty blond….i also like that they cast unknows tho!
and rob sessed
IM SRY, BUT I DO NOT AGREE WITH MOST THINGS U SAID! I DO ENJOY HARRYPOTTER, BUT ITS NOT NEARLY AS HUMINIZED AS TWILIGHT, SO ITS HARD FOR THE READERS AND WATCHERS TO RELATE! ALSO, THE ONLY REASON HARRY POTTER WOULD GROSS MORE, AT THE END OF THE DAY, IS BECAUSE, LIKE U SAID, THERE R 7, AND THE TWILIGHT SAGA ONLY HAS 4 PARTS!!! SO OBVIOUSLY, THAT HELPS, WITH TICKET AND BOOK SALES, ETC. AND THATS ONLY AT THE END, WHEN BOTH FRANCHISES R FINISHED! UNTILL THEN, THERES NO DOUBT IN OUR MINDS THAT TWILIGHT WILL KICK HARRY POTTERS ASS WITH EACH NEW RELEASE!!!
THANK U!
omg that would be awesome….just seen hp today and i love him….i think it would be good for him to play Riley….it’d be the best of both worlds ….hp AND twilight…yay
O YA, AND TWILIGHT HAS ALREADY OUT DONE HARRY POTTER IN BOOK SALES!
i think he would do very well as riley. i went to a Harry Potter premiere on monday and i thought he did an amazing job acting.
I completely agree with Tiffany especially since there is 7 books in the HP series.
But saying HP will beat Twilight is not a fact, its an opinion because New Moon hasnt even come out yet. Twilight did really well but there are alot more fans now and the gross this time will be higher and I think will beat HP and if not come extremely close. Now thats mi opinion and we won’t know what the facts will be until after.
a lot of the first comments say how he’s from harry potter and all that and he should stay in harry potter and how twilight should let other actors shine…i totally agree…
OF COURSE HE SHOULD PLAY RILEY!!! HE IS SOOOO HOTT!! I LOVE HIM IN ALL OF THE HARRY POTTER MOVIES I WOULD LOVE HIM IN THIS MOVIE TOO!!!! <33
M3L BLACK
THANK U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeess he will be the perfect role of riley!!!!!!
I THINK THAN HE IS ONLY AN ACTOR I DONT AGREE WITH THAT PERSONS THAT SAY THAT HE CAN BE IN THE TWILIGHT MOVIES BECAUSE HE IS FROM HARRY POTTER, HE IS ONLY AN ACTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*sorry by my bad english xD
sorry I’m wrong in my translation: I THINK HE IS ONLY AN ACTOR I DONT AGREE WITH THAT PERSONS THAT SAY HE CANT BE IN ECLIPSE BECAUSE HE IS A WIZARD, HE IS ONLY AN ACTOR!!!
You know what I think I am not coming to this site anymore since I know for a fact most of you are tweeners. I do applaud you all for having your own opinions but really not necessary with vulgar child like language you probably don’t even not the definition of the word you use.
You see what makes it so much better than twilight is the fact it ran longer than 4 books I mean JK Rowlings had enough for 7 books. And come on whatever outsale harry potter you all got another thing coming. Harry Potter fans have been waiting for 2 years for this release. I just think I am going to blog on sites that have more intelligence and wisdom as a logical reader should have. Cause besides. I liked the books better than the movies and would rather read them. MY hottie Robert is whats going to keep that movie afloat they loose him twilight will so plummet of the charts for sure!!
Last blog for me as I can relate things and see a little more that kids do as I am not a child. I mean using fowl language Tiffany is so not a way to communicate in a forum. If you are a kid your mouth should be washed out with soap. I will not look back on this site so if you just want to say what you got to say do it I really do care. Have at it my husband fought for our country for you and me to have the great freedoms like freedom of speech.
Have a good day all that really can be objective with all this. I’m off!!
One more thing we are talking about wizards and witches that are mortal. What is human about sucking someones blood give me a break. Not that I don’t like this sort of thing but humanized!! HUMANIZED IS THE WAY THIS WORD IS SPELLED!!
Tom Felton would definitely be one of the best to cast as the newborn, Riley!
Wow rob sessed Chill out…she said a$$, not that I approve of even using that word, thats not the worst I have read on this site. Yes their are alot of teens and younger on this site, but you take what they say with a grain of salt and move on. Someones post should not make you stop comming to this site. If your that big of a fan, then you are only hurting your self by not coming here anymore. This site has the best, most up to date info out there. And Im sorry if my comment upsets you, but my husband is a Marine and has defended this country for 17 years, so Iwill say my opinion. Im all for peoples opinions, if you dont like them, then dont read them. But its not worth arguing over or not visiting the site anymore. Like I said , take it with a grain of salt…The only reason to stay away from this site is if you dont like twilight!
I think he should it would be good for him, I mean Ive not seen him in any other movies and people think he is evil he said in an interview that lil kids like hide from him and cheer for Daniell lol
PEOPLE CHILL!!! CANT WE ALL GET ALONG
JUSt voice ur opinion n if some one dont like it oh well no need to act all DUMB!!
OKAY____ i think this guy would make a great RILEY I COULD SO SEE IT
yeah i know he is from the harry potter films but SOOO WHO CARES!! he would be good
I think he is perfect to play Riley. Cause he has the blonde hair and blue eyes just like him. Who cares if he is from Harry Potter.
first off Riley is suppose to be in his early 20′s be built and look like Emmet. and Mellissa Rosenburg has said she wrote the role with Channing Tatum in mind, which i think would be a better Riley! Tom is to young to be put next to Rachelle, Riley is suppose to look like Victoria’s equally not like she’s suppose to be babysitting him!!! I really hope Tom does not get this part it would destroy the movie. I’ll keep my hopes up high for Channing Tatum, or someone close to him!
