Book: Beyond The Wand - The Magic and Mayhem Growing Up A Wizard
Author: Tom Felton
Pages: 304
This is my 77th read for the year
This is the autobiography of the author. Tom Felton was the actor who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies. In his book, he talks about how he got into acting, his life growing up in a normal, happy family, and how becoming Draco changed his life. He talks about his life mostly on the sets of Harry Potter, but also his life before and after - including his stint in rehab when he realized he was barreling out of control.
This was a pretty good book. I have read a lot of memoirs this year, and this has been one of the better ones. From what I have always read about Tom is that he is one of the nicest guys in real life, which is hard to fathom considering who he played in the Harry Potter movies. I would not say he is an exceptional actor by any stretch, but I did like learning about his life on the set and how he admits that the level of stardom for Daniel, Emma, and Rupert (who played Ron, Hermonie and Harry) is on a whole other level than his is. Glad I read this one.
