The Harry Potter World Cup has been raging on for the better part of a month now, and after 64 wizards and witches stepped into the ring, we've finally whittled down the playing field to two: Severus Snape versus Ron Weasley. It. Is. On!
Voting ends later today, and with percentages closed from public view, it's truly anybody's game at this point. But some of the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" cast members couldn't resist placing their bets on who's going to win the World Cup ? including Tom Felton, better known as Draco Malfoy. The two-time MTV Movie Award-winning Best Villain was knocked out of the competition in the Elite Eight, but he's still keeping an eye on who's going to take the top prize home.
Unsurprisingly, Tom is sticking with his Slytherin roots. "Snape," he declared without hesitation. "He's gonna take the crown, man."
"Everyone loves Snape. He has the greatest story of the lot, I think, where you don't know which he's going to be the whole way," he added. "He has a beautiful ending, doesn't he? I didn't expect that at all. It's so nice to see this hard character Snape turn into this soft shell of a man."
So Felton's betting on Team Snape, but what does Rupert Grint think? His character, Ron Weasley, is still vying for a shot at the title, but even Grint thinks he'll have a tough time against the Potions master.
"I don't think I could do that," he said of his chances against Snape. "I mean, Snape is a great character."
Don't get so defeatist yet, Rupert, because Ron's still in the running until the poll closes during our Harry Potter live-stream this afternoon. But no matter how the voting shakes out, Rupert's just thrilled to still be in the competition: "It's amazing. It's quite touching really."
