Right after discussing his lingering connection with Jason Isaacs, who played his father Lucius Malfoy, Tom Felton was asked whether, even though he couldn’t bring any wand home, he wished he had actually managed to take something from the set.
True to his funny nature and good humor, Felton’s first reaction was to turn to the Mandrake props next to him and pretend for a moment that he was going to take one. Then, he gave an honest answer that might surprise some fans. “No, I’m actually really glad,” Felton said. “I think at the time, it’d be nice to have a Nimbus 2000 in the house, et cetera. But actually, again, especially revisiting here, every time I come back, I’m so grateful that we didn’t.” Later in his response, he clarified the number of wands there actually were. “We had one wand,” Felton said, before correcting himself. “Well, we had two. One real one and I know it’s my real wand in there ’cause there’s a little chip out of the handle where I dropped it. And then the other ones were just foam.”
