Opis

In this captivating memoir, Tom Felton invites readers into his world, offering an intimate glimpse into the life of a young actor navigating the complexities of fame and friendship in the midst of a fantastical universe. Growing up as Draco Malfoy in the iconic Harry Potter film series, Felton shares both the enchanting and tumultuous experiences that shaped him into the person he is today.

Through candid anecdotes, he reveals the camaraderie forged on set, the lessons learned from the beloved cast and crew, and the struggles of maintaining a sense of normalcy while under the relentless scrutiny of the public eye. With each chapter, he emphasizes the challenges of identity and self-discovery faced by many young stars, making his journey resonate with anyone who has ever felt out of place.

Felton’s reflections on his adventures in the magical world as well as his personal growth after the series come to a close add depth to his narrative. The journey is both nostalgic and enlightening, as he takes readers beyond the wand and into the heart of a young wizard's story, filled with laughter, heartache, and extraordinary experiences.

I enjoyed this book so much. I chose to listen to Tom read it on audio and I'm glad I chose to listen instead. Hearing him talk about his experiences and share his stories was amazing. Some parts were funny and some were sad. If you lobe the harry potter books and movies as much as I do I strongly suggest you read it or listen to the audio book. 🖤

Draco Malfoy is not my favorite character, but I suddenly became a huge fan of Tom Felton after reading this book. Despite the evil-tragic character he played, Tom is really kindhearted and sweet (and a funny narrator too!).I grew up rewatching the Harry Potter movies. That’s why reading this book brings me so many nostalgic feelings. More than half of the book is about Tom’s experiences when filming Harry Potter and his relationships with the casts. Anyway, Tom and Emma's platonic love is so precious. I don't care about Dramione shipper, but they really prove that friendship can be as powerful as romantic love.So … yeah, I think the book is targeted for Potterheads indeed. It’s fluff, with a lot of hilarious stories, but also eye-opening to read.I admire how honest Tom is. He openly shares his ups and downs in his personal life, even his experience with mental health. FYI, the last two chapters made me both broke and proud at the same time. I found some parts are boring, maybe because the book is mostly narrations. Well, but like I said, Tom Felton knows how to tell a story in enjoyable way. I couldn’t even count how many times I laughed, especially while reading the part of “Don’t tread on my f*cking cloak!” (that’s my favorite chapter btw). Believe me, there are more reasons to read this book, despite the fact that you’re a Potterhead or simply have a fictional crush on Draco Malfoy. Tom Felton point of view gives you a deep understanding about the meaning of life and how to be a ‘person’.
