Title:
Beyond The Wand: The Magic And Mayhem Of Growing Up A Wizard
Description:
Tom Felton’s adolescence was anything but ordinary. His early rise to fame in beloved films like "The Borrowers” catapulted him into the limelight, but nothing could prepare him for what was to come after he landed the iconic role of Draco Malfoy, the bleached-blond villain of the Harry Potter movies. For the next ten years, he was at the center of a huge pop culture phenomenon-and yet, in between filming, he would go back to being a normal teenager trying to fit in at a normal school.
Speaking with great candor and his signature humor, Tom shares his experience growing up as part of the wizarding world while also trying to navigate the muggle world. He tells stories from his early days in the business, like his first acting gig where he was mistaken for fellow blond child actor Macaulay Culkin, and his Harry Potter audition where, in a very Draco-like move, he fudged how well he knew the books (not at all). He reflects on his experiences working with cinematic greats such as Alan Rickman, Sir Michael Gambon, Dame Maggie Smith, and Ralph Fiennes (including that awkward Voldemort hug). And, perhaps most poignantly, he discusses the lasting relationships he made over that decade of filming, including with Emma Watson, who started out as a pesky nine-year-old but who soon became one of his dearest friends. Then, of course, there are the highs and lows of fame and navigating life after such a momentous experience.
Tom Felton’s "Beyond the Wand” is an entertaining, funny, and poignant must-read for any Harry Potter fan. Prepare to meet a real-life wizard.
