PENGUIN Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard

I bought it for my teenage daughter as she loves Draco Malfoy aka Tom Felton. High-quality hardcover and this is fantastic writing.

I bought this physical copy after listening to the audiobook. As a Harry Potter lover, this was an absolute must-read and I couldn’t “put it down” (or stop listening!) You HAVE to get both the book and the audio—there’s just something magical about listening to Tom narrate his own life. Tom’s story is heartfelt and really well written. He seems incredibly down to earth and so grateful for his experiences on the HP set. I especially appreciated how much respect he had for the iconic actors he worked with; of course, hearing his memories of the dear actors who have passed on was incredibly emotional. I laughed a lot during the book as well. I was very moved by how much humility he shows when talking about his past mistakes and how he’s grown from them. Again, he seems so genuine and caring and that came through very clearly in his book. All actors are “just people” at the end of the day, but Tom really is just like the rest of us. Autobiographies are one of my favorite genres, and this one is easily my favorite—and not just because I’m a Harry Potter fan, but because this book was so gripping and surprisingly relatable.

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.

One of the most entretaining autobiographies I read

there are no defects or anything, atleast i ran through a check and i think it doesn’t. i’m so excited to read it! it arrived quicker then expected, i am so glad. would 100% recommend 👍🏻

Muy buena calidad, bien protegido. Lo único que no me gustó es que la portada del libro es totalmente negra si le quito la hoja de arriba.
