Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard is a nonfiction memoir from Tom Felton. The book first came out in 2022 and was a top New York Times best seller! Readers probably already know Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter movies, and here in his book he goes into being the character and all about his life while on the screen and off.

Felton is the first to admit that his adolescence was not the typical experience. He became more famous after appearing in films early on, but it was becoming Draco Malfoy that truly made him known to a wide audience. He would play the blond villain Draco for the next decade and become part of the huge phenomenon that was the franchise.

It may have seemed like a glamorous life, but Felton would just go back to his regular life as a teen going to a regular school and trying to fit in when he was not busy filming. He pours a lot of humor and honesty into this book, telling readers what it was like being part of the wizarding world while growing up but then also having to go back and experience what it was like to be a muggle.

There are also many great stories about the early days of acting, including one noted tale where he’s taken for Macaulay Culkin, another actor with similar features. He also relays a story where he was asked whether he was familiar with the books and chose a very Slytherin move where he revealed that he was familiar with them even though he had not read them at all.

Tom includes his experience working with more experienced thespians as well, including Dame Maggie Smith, Sir Michael Gambon, Ralph Fiennes and Alan Rickman, as well as Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson and the many other relationships that he made over the course of filming for a decade. This includes Emma specifically, who he grew really close to.

Tom also reflects on fame and its highs and lows, and learning to make his way through life after having had such a huge experience. All in all, check out Beyond the Wand to catch all of the Harry Potter stories and more from the actor who lived it!
