Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

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 door, 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 adolescence 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 as part of 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.

Now featuring a totally new chapter

Delightful!

Absolutely delightful. While I think it’s still too early in his life for a memoir, Tom presents to us a delightful summery of his life so far. The perfect balance between his work (especially the Potter years) and his personal issues is what makes this a must listen. Very well read!!

No words

I cannot even begin to describe the emotions i felt while listening to it. Harry potter cast has always been a huge part of my life. And listening to tom's personal experiences was on whole another level. And in his own voice? Idk how many times I cried. I had no idea who he really was and I am glad to know him personally. This book evoked emotions I didn't even know i could feel.

Must-read for Potterheads

There are not many books that I label "must-reads" but if you are someone who has had a Harry Potter obsession at any point in time, this book is a must-read for you.
It is well-written, well-edited and surprisingly to-the-point for a celebrity memoir. At no point does it feel like it just keeps on going for no reason, everything mentioned in the book is welcome.
And reading it in audiobook format I'd say is probably the best way to go through it because you actually hear it from Tom Felton himself. The way he still spits out POTTAH with so much stress on the "P" just elevates the feeling of nostalgia. 10/10 would recommend listening to this book in audio format.

Beyond the Potter World

I started this audio book as a fan of Tom Felton and the Harry Potter movies. Just to hear the insights of how Tom got into movies and then finally the Potter ones, narrated in his own voice. What I did not expect to find was an accurate description of my own mental limitations and challenges. His words have helped me face the fact that I should be more honest about it with those around me. And seek serious help. Thank you Tom, for letting me know I was not alone.

Heartwarming Experience!

To listen this absolutely otherworldly (harry potter universe) story of a boy i loved on screen, first hand from his own mouth is true emotional and nostalgic experience for me.

I am deeply grateful of witnessing Tom's Story and him being so genuine is deeply appreciated.

I am happy i experienced it, and am just speechless.

lots of love, draco!
