As one of the young breakthrough stars of the Harry Potter film franchise, Tom Felton

grew up in front of the whole world, right alongside his character, the villainous Draco

He may not have been a member of the heroic trinity in the series, but among Potter fans,

Felton's name became just about as well-known as his co-stars.

So, it seemed logical that he'd be among those who'd slither in to the A-list after the series

Unlike some of the others, though, Felton has since struggled to shed his status as

an alumnus of Hogwarts, which means his career outside of the World of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Whereas Daniel Radcliffe has become something of an indie sensation and Emma Watson headlined

an entirely different blockbuster with curses and castles, Tom Felton hasn't been able to

ride his Nimbus 2000 to the top of the Hollywood ladder just yet.

Let's take a look at some of the reasons Hollywood won't cast him anymore.

Starring in an eight-film mega-movie franchise might seem like the opportunity of a lifetime

for any actor, but Tom Felton didn't cherish the experience of being an overnight cinematic

Before the final film Deathly Hallows, Part 2 hit theaters, he told the Daily Mail that

he looked forward to the "freedom" of not starring in the films anymore, saying:

"One thing that people keep on saying to me is that the wealth and the fame must have

But the idea of money, putting a price on your childhood, is ridiculous.

The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality.

It's fantastic when you go to premieres and people cheer you, but it's not real."

Considering most of those fans who were cheering him on at those very premieres were the ones

he'd need to see his next movies, those words may have come back to bite him harder than

After Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe decided to give the Broadway circuit and small-budget

And Emma Watson went to college, became a beauty brand ambassador, and left Hermione

behind with films like The Bling Ring and This Is the End.

Meanwhile, Tom Felton's first big post-Potter move was to rap.

In 2011, Felton revealed that he'd scored a recording deal with an independent label

"I was thinking of doing some N-Dubz-style stuff.

I am looking to get into the grime rap UK scene."

Felton added that he intended to "change [his] image," and although that public persona overhaul

never seemed to pan out, some of his music has made way to the public sphere.

However, despite a few EP releases and a moderate amount of viral attention on YouTube, his

music has hardly been successful enough to qualify as a new career path.

His emcee effort might've at least been a change of pace, but Felton's next big screen

adventure was far too similar to his Harry Potter persona.

Felton claims he's not at all like the kid that made him famous…

"To be honest, I'm very un-Malfoy like in my day-to-day biddings"

However, in 2011's Rise of the Planet of the Apes, he played a small part as Dodge Landon,

a cruel zoo security guard who tortures the film's central sentient ape, Caesar.

"Take your stinking paw off me you damn dirty ape."

Like Draco, the character is remarkable only for his sniveling demeanor and the ease with

Between this role and his villainous TV turn on TNT's Murder In the First, he may not be

distancing himself from the role that made him famous, which could make him seem a little

Indeed, even Radcliffe has had to work hard to extricate himself from the world of broomsticks

and floo powder, taking roles that are far off the mark of the Boy Who Lived.

By heading right back into an unlikable mini-baddie role after Deathly Hallows, Felton may have

made a huge career misstep right from the start.

Another surprising downside to the safety of a long-lived role like Felton had in the

Harry Potter series is that the series' end can feel a little like being thrown into the

The actor has admitted that returning to the regular practice of auditioning for parts

to sustain a lifestyle, rather than just trying to fill in the blanks between sequels, was

"I'm much more nervous in auditions now than I was at 11.

You take a lot of hits before you get something good.

The disappointment of being denied certain roles was so disorienting for him, in fact,

that he considered walking away from the business altogether, saying:

Before you've even started, someone's playing on the BlackBerry.

You're reading your lines, physically convulsing, and they just say 'Thank you.'

I did 19 auditions and got the 20th, for the film The Apparition."

To make matters worse, that movie would mark the start of a series of box office flops.

Although the Harry Potter series was a box office phenomenon, Felton has still not proven

His small-time thriller pic The Apparition failed to recoup its financiers' investment,

despite having both a Harry Potter star and Twilight alum Ashley Greene leading the cast.

Since then, he's yet to appear in a film that made any kind of impression at the ticket

Even movies that have been relatively well-received by critics, like the regal biopic Belle and

A United Kingdom, featured him only in supporting roles and brought in very little money during

Felton's not the only one of the Harry Potter alums who has struggled to convince muggles

to see his movies, but being associated with so many bombs likely isn't making his new

Considering his dismal box office streak, Tom Felton's chances of nabbing a leading

movie role anytime soon seem low, but it might not be a good idea to tell him that.

In fact, the actor's ambitions seem to be unfettered, he not only wants another franchise,

but he wants one of the most iconic and long-lasting of all time: Bond, James Bond.
