Harry Potter star Tom Felton has revealed that he feels like he lost his childhood to the film series. The actor, who plays Draco Malfoy, said: "I think everyone is expecting the Harry Potter cast to break down as it comes to its end… I know Daniel and Rupert had a bit of a cry when it was their last day and the crew screened a showreel of the past ten years. But I feel a real ­mixture of emotions. There is a little bit of sadness, but at the same time there is excitement." Tom continued: "One thing that people keep on saying to me is that the wealth and the fame must have made up for missing out on my childhood," he says. "But the idea of money - putting a price on your childhood - is ridiculous. You will never get those years back and you can't put a price on them."

Despite this the actor said he had no regrets about doing the wizarding series even though it's been the first time in ten years that he's allowed to get a tan and even become a little bit buff. "For the past decade we haven't had much freedom to do other projects. I ­certainly haven't had much freedom to keep my own hair colour, or lay in the sun, or do anything remotely dangerous like skiing. It was nice to go on holiday and not have to slap on the SPF50 and sit under an umbrella with three caps on."
