During the Q&A session with the Press, Tom Felton talked about how working on the movies caused him to be bullied in the real world.

Describing how during his teenage years that Harry Potter was not considered cool and it "was even less cool to have your hair dyed blonde and to be in the films", Felton reminisced that he often would rather have been back at school with friends and going on the ski trips that he wasn't allowed to do than being part of the movies.
