#28: “I Didn’t Know You Could Read”
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Draco Malfoy, depicted as a notorious bully, primarily delivers scripted insults. However, Tom Felton, who portrays Malfoy, injects a moment of spontaneous brilliance during a scene where Malfoy, disguised as Goyle, interacts with Harry.
Felton’s improvised dig at Harry’s reading ability added a layer of authenticity and wit to the character, showcasing his quick thinking and understanding of Malfoy’s persona. Although the line was ultimately cut from the final film, it remains a testament to Felton’s improvisational skills and his commitment to bringing depth to the role of Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series.
