Tom Felton still receives "odd" mail from 'Harry Potter' fans.
The 26-year-old actor, who played troubled young wizard Draco Malfoy in the franchise, claims people have even offered to adopt him because they are obsessed with his "dark" character in the films.
He told PEOPLE.com: "It's always a bit of fun for me, the dark side of things. I'm not actually thinking of being a reckless criminal or evil mastermind. And some people are.
"Some people revel in the darker side of it, which is a little odd. I've had a couple of proposals from people who want to adopt me. A few requests to change my name legally to Malfoy. Gifts of homemade potions and spells. I have to admire the level of dedication."
Meanwhile, the British star, who was devastated by the death of his beloved dog, Timber, a few weeks ago, is still grieving the loss of his pet.
He said: "She wasn't well a few months ago in Los Angeles and she got diagnosed with cancer. We had to take her back to London and she passed away a few weeks ago. She was a very sweet soul and she'll be missed."

Chelsea Handler turned down Playboy for the sake of her family.
The comedienne and chat show host claims she rejected an offer to pose nude in the magazine because she was worried her brothers would be offended.
The 39-year-old star said: "I don't think any of my brothers need to see my vagina. I don't mind nudity, but I don't really need to have my vagina in a magazine."
The blonde beauty is close friends with a number of celebrities, including Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and Charlize Theron, but insists most Hollywood stars aren't fascinating.
She told The Guardian newspaper: "I am sick of interviewing celebrities. Some are fascinating but most aren't."
Chelsea is stepping down from her show in August and wants to cover more serious topics, including politics.
She said: "A key component for having a television show is for you to be interested, because then your viewers are interested. The minute I'm not interested, it's not interesting to anyone who is watching.
"I don't want to focus solely on politics but it is definitely something I want to delve into. I don't want to be fluffy. I want people to be brave enough to sit there and answer any questions. There is nothing more annoying than people coming on your show and they don't want to talk about this or they don't want to talk about that. If you agree to do an interview you should be interviewed."

Emily Deschanel is raising her child to be "99 percent vegan."
The 37-year-old actress, who has two-year-old son Henry with husband David Hornsby, stopped eating and wearing animal products entirely when she was 15 after watching a documentary about how food choices affect health and the environment, but her family isn't quite as committed to the diet.
The 'Bones' star said: "Henry is 99-percent vegan because my husband is not 100-percent vegan."
The brunette beauty tries to spend as much time as possible with her son and admits her exercise routine has suffered since she became a mother.
She told PEOPLE.com: "You could be dealing with one issue, and then the next day it's gone and you're dealing with something else. I don't know how things change so quickly or how much he can surprise you.
"You work all of these hours and when you have time off, you don't want to spend it working out while raising a child. [But it is] important ... to be healthy and show him that that's important."
The actress has the summer off and plans "to hang out with my son, put him to bed, and cuddle - do all of the fun things I love doing with him."
She added: "I love this age because I can communicate with him so well and have conversations."

Kendra Wilkinson's husband allegedly checked into a motel near their home on Friday (20.06.14).
Former NFL star Hank Baskett - who has four-year-old son Hank Jr. and one-month-old daughter Alijah with the reality TV star - was spotted looking "downtrodden" while speeding away from their Los Angeles mansion in his white Jeep at around 4 p.m., sparking rumours they had a major bust-up.
An eyewitness told RadarOnline.com: "Hank was wearing a royal blue NBA shirt and long khaki shorts. He got out of the Jeep with a woman who appeared to possibly be one of the couples' baby nurses because she was wearing a medical type uniform.
"They went into the office of the motel and then pulled the jeep around to the other side where their room was located. Hank appeared disoriented and downtrodden. At one point, he kicked the ground."
The National Enquirer source added: "An hour later, he emerged from the room but then returned back inside."
Hank, 31, spent most of Friday with his father at a Major League Gaming Competition in Anaheim, California, but his wife hasn't spoken to her family since October.
The 'Kendra On Top' star's mother, Patti Wilkinson, recently claimed fame had ruined the 28-year-old former Playboy model.
She said: "When Kendra was on 'The Girls Next Door' I think that she was down to earth, she was fun, it was all new to her and exciting. That was Kendra, that definitely was Kendra.
"As years go by Hollywood has crept in and I think it has changed her and not for the better and I never thought it would happen."

Helena Bonham Carter doesn't like being told what to do.
The 48-year-old actress - who has two children, Billy Ray, 10, and Nell, six, with long-time partner Tim Burton - admits she hates being ordered around and prefers to make all of her own decisions, especially when it comes to her wardrobe.
Asked about her eclectic fashion sense, the 'Lone Ranger' star told E! News: "I've had a stylist once or twice, but it doesn't really work out because basically, I don't like being told what to wear"
She added: "I don't like being told what to do, so there's no point. A lot of people suggest that I should."
Earlier this month, Helena revealed she struggled with low self-esteem when she first found fame as a teenager, but no longer cares what people think about her.
She told The Guardian newspaper: "I wasn't very confident; I was cripplingly shy. And, at the age of 19, you are all too aware of how people are perceiving you. I remember reading the first profile of me that was printed in a magazine and thinking: 'Oh good, now I'm going to find out what I'm really like.' But no. That's not the best way of judging yourself."

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez enjoyed a romantic date on Friday night (20.06.14).
The on-again, off-again couple - who first started dating in 2010 - were spotted leaving upmarket steak restaurant Mastro's in Beverly Hills, California after rekindling their relationship again earlier this month.
Following their expensive meal, the 'Confident' hitmaker, 20, whisked the brunette beauty, 21, to the cinema at the nearby Westfield Century City mall, where they went to see the new comedy, 'Think Like A Man,' according to the MailOnline.
The 'Spring Breakers' actress was spotted wrapping her arm around the Canadian star's back, as they followed two bodyguards out of the theatre after the screening.
The newly-reunited couple have been inseparable over the past few days, spending time in a recording studio together and at a bible study class on Wednesday (18.06.14), where a source said they appeared "smitten" with one another.
The eyewitness said: "They were very lovey dovey and cute. They came and left together with a few friends
"They sat next to each other and listened to the sermon and were smitten with each other."
Justin won back the 'Come & Get It' singer, who sought treatment in rehab in January, back after vowing to curb his wild ways and recently presented Selena with a £6,000 Segway in a bid to prove they could have "good, clean fun" together.

Anna Faris is "so proud" of her husband's Hollywood success.
Actor Chris Pratt is set to lead the cast of this summer's blockbuster Marvel superhero movie, 'Guardians of the Galaxy', as well as next year's long-awaited 'Jurassic World', and Faris - who has a successful movie career of her own - admits she is "so lucky" to have him.
Speaking about the star's busy film schedule, she said: "I'm so proud of him! He's been away, so that part's been hard - he's shooting 'Jurassic World' right now in New Orleans and our baby's not quite two yet. But it's exciting! I'm like, 'My husband's a movie star! What happened? How did I get so lucky? Does he still like me?' "
Pratt buffed up for his role in 'Guardians', in which he'll play Peter Quill/Star-Lord, and shared a sexy snap of his toned body on Instagram last year.
Faris says she loves her husband's new physique, but plans to "fatten him up" so other ladies won't hit on him.
She quipped: "I'm going to fatten him up as soon as he gets back from out of town!
"It's amazing. I'm so proud of him, he looks so sexy!"

The Housemartins will reform if The Smiths get back together.
The 'Caravan of Love' hitmakers - who split in 1988 after five years together - famously had a pact never to reunite, but have now slightly relaxed their stance safe in the knowledge their strict criteria is unlikely to be met.
Former bassist Norman Cook, aka Fatboy Slim, said: " We've changed it to, 'We'll only reform if The Smiths reform first and they won't reform until the royal family abdicates', so I think we're safe on that one."
Norman is now best known for his DJing but admits it has taken until now for his 13-year-old son Woody to be impressed by his work.
He said: "He's just beginning to realise now he's 13 that his dad does have a cool job."
And the 50-year-old star - who also has four-year-old daughter Nelly with wife Zoe Ball - is hopeful his son could one day follow in his musical footsteps.
He added in a radio interview: "He's just got a bass off his godfather, so obviously that's a tradition in the family I'd like to continue. Bass players traditionally are the most well grounded, intelligent members. And they get the best chicks. Always."

Lady Gaga has been blasted by PETA for dressing up her dog.
The 'Applause' hitmaker has come under heavy criticism from the animal charity for her treatment of pet pooch Asia, who has been seen wearing weighty jewellery and earrings.
PETA said: "Lady Gaga may choose to decorate herself with elaborate and even uncomfortable outfits, but Asia doesn't get to make that choice.
"Although it seems pretty clear that Lady Gaga loves Asia, we think Asia - and all dogs - are adorable without all the added flair."
Their comments come after the 28-year-old pop star - famous for her extravagant and outrageous style - posted photos on Instagram which showed the pup wearing a heavy necklace on its face.
PETA have been joined by other animal rights groups in criticising Gaga for her actions.
Dog's Trust veterinary director Paula Boyden added: "We are shocked to see the pictures of his puppy adorned with heavy jewellery.
"Dressing dogs in pseudo-human clothing not only ridicules and makes a spectacle of them but treats them as a fashion accessory rather than a living animal."

Harrison Ford feels "like a battered" old car after throwing himself at movie stunts.
The 'Star Wars' actor - who was recently injured on the set of the sci-fi saga - compared himself to a classic motor and admitted he brings it on himself due to his dedication.
Speaking to the Daily Express newspaper, he quipped: "I am like a battered old Ford.
"And I keep on coming back for more. If it doesn't look real on the screen than an audience does not believe what it sees."
The star - who was talking about his stunts before his latest injury occurred - insisted he is starting to know how to stop himself from getting too badly "hurt".
He explained: "Although i do my own running, jumping and falling, I always try to keep myself from being hurt. So I know what will work and what won't."
Meanwhile, he also admitted he never expected his big screen career to last as long as it has done.
He said: "I honestly never thought my acting would last thing long. All I've done is try to get scripts which interest me and make sure I prepare as well as I possibly can.
"After that, it's a matter of hoping that people like what they see and keep on going back. It's not an 'art'. I simply enjoy it as a great job."

Simon Cowell has deliberately created tension between the 'X Factor' judges.
It is said this year's panel - completed by Louis Walsh, Cheryl Cole and Mel B - is already strained, and it has been orchestrated by the media mogul.
An insider on the show's production team told The Sun newspaper: "So far the atmosphere has not been great to say the least.
"The only person who gets on with everyone is Simon but it's as if he is deliberately letting the fires build by being late and making everyone grumpy.
"Pretty much every single member of the panel - apart from Simon - clearly didn't want the other judges chosen for this year's show ... The theory is that his plan is to create havoc on the judging panel."
According to reports, the explosive panel has been put together to instill a sense of drama into the show, which "has started to run its course".
The source added: "[Simon's] the first to admit the show has started to run its course and it's harder to get viewers to engage with the acts.
"However, what does work are fights between the judges. He knows what he is doing. He loves being the master puppeteer."

'Mrs. Brown's Boys' star Brendan O'Carroll is hoping to buy a stake in David Beckham's soccer franchise.
The British TV star is a big fan of the sport and lives in Florida - where the legend's new club will be based - and he is keen to support his soon-to-be local team.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I'm hoping to buy into it. I'd love the US to do well at soccer as it would be so good for the game.
"It used to be a girls' game in America, but interest in soccer has really grown."
However, Brendan - who is worth £8 million - has ruled out a comedy collaboration with David, insisting he just isn't "funny" enough.
He said: "Beckham is not really funny."
Earlier this year, the comedy actor blasted his own critics, describing them a "donkey" rather than a "racehorse".
He ranted: "F**k them! I do respect critics. I know they've got a job to do, but they'll always be a donkey telling the racehorse how he should have won the race.
"If they want to be a racehorse, run the race! Anyone can criticise me all they like, but as long as they write [about it], f**k off."
