Tom Felton, the villianous Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies, can't avoid it.

All anyone wants to know about these days is what was it was like to work with Robert Pattinson when he played Cedric Diggory in two Potter flicks.

"Obviously, we met a few times and had the old chat, but I don't recall going that deep with him," Felton admits from New York City, where he's promoting the DVD release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. "He was tremendously professional on-set and a great laugh."

But best of all, Felton says, Pattinson's Twilight success is "proof that there's life after Harry Potter."

As we all know, however, we haven't seen the last of Hogwarts. There are still two more movies to go in the series. Number five is in the can with about six months of filming to go on the last.

Felton is quick to quash rumors that they'd end on a more adult note with scenes featuring—ready for this?—a naked Daniel Radcliffe.

"I read that the other day, and I was like, 'What the hell is that about?' " Felton said. "I haven't seen Dan walking around naked—not on the set anyway. The changing room is a different thing—I'm joking. No, I hadn't heard anything of it. Dan hasn't mentioned it."

But the final wrap party definitely will be like no other. "In previous years, we've had kind of timid parties...We were all kind of 13 years old," Felton said. "Finally we can have a decent party! I'm pretty sure Dan put it in his contract."

Harry Potter with a lampshade on his head? Let's hope someone posts those pics on Twitter.
