Felton is one of the young actors in ''Harry Potter'' who actually acted professionally prior to the series, starting off in commercials at the age of eight. His first film role was a major supporting part in the 1997 version of ''[[The Borrowers]]'', in which he played an [[Annoying Younger Sibling]] to Arrietty Clock. A couple years later he played [[Jodie Foster]]'s son in ''[[Anna and the King]]''.
