THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Uproarious memoir packed with anecdotes about the Harry Potter films' Daily Mail 'Very funny and fascinating' Mail on Sunday 'Brave and brilliant' Cosmopolitan 'Highly readable' The Times They called for a break, and Gambon magicked up a cigarette from out of his beard. He and I were often to be found outside the stage that housed the Astronomy Tower, having 'a breath of fresh air' as we referred to it . There would be painters and plasterers and chippies and sparks, and among them all would be me and Dumbledore having a crafty cigarette. From Borrower to wizard, Tom Felton's childhood was anything but ordinary. His early rise to fame saw him catapulted into the limelight aged just twelve when he landed the iconic role of Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films. Speaking with candour and his own trademark humour, Tom shares his experience of growing up on screen and as part of the wizarding world for the very first time. He tells all about his big break, what filming was really like and the lasting friendships he made during ten years with the franchise, as well as the highs and lows of fame and the reality of navigating adult life after filming finished. Prepare to meet a real-life wizard. The instant New York Times bestseller, November 2022 Sunday Times bestseller, December 2022 Review: Good book - Good condition, good value, fast delivery.

Not just for Potter fans
I bought the book to read about Tom’s time making the movies, which is well written and gives an insight into the films and the life of the actors on set. But I also really enjoyed reading about of Tom’s life before and after Potter.

An enjoyable, light-hearted read
I was interested in reading Tom's book as I was an avid fan of the HP books and loved the films too. I was initially keen to hear about Tom's experiences on the film sets and the annecdotes from his time as Draco. Once I started to read the book, I was immediately hooked, so much so that I had read the whole book in just a few days. I was fully immersed in each chapter. I thought Tom wrote well and you could really 'hear' his personality through his words. I was also impressed with his ability to relay his personal experiences in LA in such an honest and thought-provoking way. I am very glad that I decided to give this book a chance and I would definitely recommend it to others.

Wand-erful
"Not all those who wand-er are lost." Admittedly, these words of wisdom originate from another famous wizard however "Beyond the Wand" provides magical insightfulness to both wizards and muggles alike. This heartfelt read shows that Tom Felton really is another "Boy Who Lived" and boy does he have the scars to show it, just not a lightening shaped one. His words are magic in their purest form. Raw, powerful and moving.

Considered and charming.
I really enjoyed this book - so much so I read it all in only a couple of days. The anecdotes were really good fun but at the same time poignant and well thought out, it all comes together to give a real insight into Tom’s world and his experiences. There wasn’t tonnes of new information for dye hard Potter fans but more of a sense of the day to day and how it felt to be on set, in the Wizarding World.
