About this listen

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.

Each chapter coverers different perspectives of Toms life, though each have a theme. The theme of the book is a thank you to everyone would helped him become the man he is. From stories, banter and a unique perspective on his career and relationships Tom is nothing less than gracious and humbled by the influences, from the famous to his family, who have got him to where he is today. This book is heartwarming and beautiful. An easy listen when read by Tom himself. It’s like your have a chat with an old friend.

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Tom as he tells of his life in an open and honest way you can hear the vulnerability in the later chapters, and the joy that he has since found. It’s interesting to hear about the goings on as a young person filming, a major motion picture. Well done Tom
