I avoid using Lucky Blue Smith as Draco, but speaking as a graphic maker, I think everyone who has tried making DHR edits know how hard it is to find blond men to represent Draco, much less men who have light or platinum blond hair. This is probably why we see many similar pictures/people in DHR edits. So if anyone has suggestions on which blond model or actor (besides Tom) that we can use for Draco, feel free to suggest, really.

There aren’t too many non-albino men with naturally pale blond hair, and doing manips usually means that you need a lot of different options for photos. I’ve learned how to replace hair and blend it well (which especially helps for manips involving Lucius Malfoy), but it’s much easier if you can just find a model to use rather than having to edit light blond hair each time.
In addition to Tom and Lucky Blue Smith (who is generally my preferred Draco Malfoy), some fancasts for Draco include:
David Balheim:
Otto Seppalainen
Oliver Stummvoll
Gerhard Freidl
Paul Craddock (although he’s more Scorpius Malfoy to me):
Naraman Malanov
Nicolas Hau:
Chris Close (again more Scorpius vibes for me on him)
Jeremy Dufour, although he has the same issue post-HP Tom Felton has with not being quite blond enough
Max Krieger
Ivan Bubalo
I’m not a fan of Lucky Blue Smith 🙈🙈 but I have a few more Draco fancasts that haven’t been mentioned above:
Dennis Johnson (he’s surely got pointed features)
Boyd Holbrook
Clark Bockelman
And I used to have a huge crush on blond Alex Pettyfer when I was younger.
I also like,
Conor McLain
Augustin Marlot from his brief platinum phase:
Matt Guelfi, especially as Quidditch Draco.
