Tom has not been one of the big names mentioned for the part, but what do you think? Could you see Tom Felton as Finnick Odair?

    I like him and maybe I have too much Draco in my mind but I just can’t see it. He looks too young somehow even though technically he’s the right age.

  2. Stephanie says:

    NO NO NO! ALEX PETTYFER NEEDS TO BE FINNICK!!

  3. KJ says:

    Sorry Dude, IMO, playing Draco precludes you from being considered for this role. I don’t see you being able to carry Peeta or Beetee for any distance, let alone, up hill running.

  4. Rebekah says:

    I think he would actually be really good for the part- if only I could get past him being Draco

  5. Aya says:

    NO! he is draco! and draco is not Finnick!

  6. Lauren says:

    I can defiantly c him as finnick. He did an excellent job in Harry potter as being cocky but towards the end of the movies you saw him break down and become very emotional. I just think that no matter wat to most of us he will always b Draco.

  7. I says:

    He would probably be awesome, and super hot, but you just can’t mix the huger games, harry potter or twilight…..

  8. Niomi says:

    OMG no we should not mix the other book triloghy films with the hunger games e.g. Twilight or Harry Potter

  9. Kota K says:

    ah who cares who the hell plays finnick as long as the movie stays true to the book.

    I’m pretty sure that you like myself were skeptic about people being cast for roles in Hunger Games but you got past that.

    There are people specifically hired to go and scout out the people they want cast and they wouldn’t be given that job if they weren’t good at it, so shut up with the ‘no no no’s’.

  10. Gillian says:

    I love you Tom, but I’m just not seeing it.

  11. Annie says:

    nonono,nono! PLease no! I really don’t think this is going to be a good option; they gotta find someone else, no harry potter or twilight in it SRSLY!!!

  12. Rachael says:

    I think maybe! I follow him on Twitter and some of the tweets he posts I can imagine Finnick saying! AND YAY TO ALEX TURNING DOWN THE ROLE!!! Alex is hot and all but he can’t act. And remember Tom Felton is an actor NOT just Draco

  13. Ali Allen says:

    I’m sure all know it is called ACTING. Just because he played Draco Malfoy- A mean child- in Harry Potter doesn’t mean he can’t play Finnick. he is an ACTOR!

  14. Ayse says:

    they need another unknown to play Finnick, because its like the hugner games is maeking the young ones more famous than they have ever been.
    Alex Pettyfer, Taylor Lautner, Zac Efron, Robert Pattinson, Tom Felton… they are all too well known for their previous roles and are already too well know and will create celebrity clashes on screen! NOT GOOD! let an actor rise to become famous because of the hunger games.
    Agree? Disagree?

    • G says:

      I completely agree with you! I want to see a new face in this role! As much as I like Tom Felton, I don’t see him as Finnick. And I don’t know why everyone wants Zac Efron to be Finnick… he’s a bit too feminine looking in my opinion (even if he does “bulk up”).

      • THGirl says:

        thank you very much. haha ;)

        yeah, like i love the list of actors i put down in my first comment,

        but give someone else a chance to be famous, whilst improving the film. i wanna see someone new

  15. Zach says:

    I think he would work out fine as Finnick, but I’d still prefer Garrett Hedlund.

  16. Phuong says:

    I think he currently has too less hair for his forehead.. not that that’s a bad thing of course!

  17. cathyvlove118 says:

    I still think he is better than Robert pattinson or Zac efron. I’m just tired of only seeing him as “the kid who hated Harry Potter”. I say take it.

  18. farhita says:

    oh!!!come on!!!!Alex is a good finnick and a great actor!!!!!he is not a poster boy!!!he can act!!very better than josh hutcherson,tom felton and all the guys in his age!!!if you daubt it it’s mean you are just super jelous!!!

  19. Kari says:

    they won’t hire him because of harry potter, they don’t want any twilighters and harry potter ppl

  20. Camille says:

    His forehead is too big.

  21. Ana says:

    I think Jake Abel should b Finnick!

    • KJ says:

      No. Rather have the other ‘brothers’ from Supernatural. He’s too young for this. Jared would be good, but he’s busy!

  22. dani says:

    chris evans should play finnick and i should play annie

  23. Wiress says:

    Sorry, but just can see Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy.

    I say: JAMES GAISFORD AS FINNICK !!

  24. mikeb says:

    Felton is neither strong enough, nor tall enough to play the role of a physically powerful Finnick. He is also not very handsome…

  25. simplynne says:

    i just pity most HP actors like him because people cant get past their HP roles…and always associate everything they do with it…tsk
