A fan once tried to adopt Harry Potter actor Tom Felton and even sent him the official legal papers to begin the process!
The 23-year-old actor, who plays evil Draco Malfoy in the wizard franchise, once received a "disturbing" request for him to divorce his biological parents and move from his native England to the US to start a new life with an unknown man.
"An American once tried to adopt me. It was the most disturbing fan mail I received. He was very serious. It wasn't just a letter.

He sent a binder of official documents that he'd filled out for me, so I just had to sign, change my name to Draco, then divorce my parents and go over to America to live with him," Felton said.
The actor who was just 13 when he first appeared in Harry Potter alongside Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe said that when he started off in the movie industry he was merely a "rank amateur" who was picked for the role because he looked like his alter-ego.

"Let's be honest, we weren't picked for Harry Potter for our acting ability it was because we looked like the characters as they'd been written," he said.
