Tom Felton

the magic and mayhem of growing up a wizard

"From Borrower to wizard, Tom Felton's childhood was anything but ordinary. Even as his parents' skepticism colored his early forays into acting, his childhood passion for performance buoyed him through a few inauspicious false starts, and he began booking major roles, rubbing shoulders with the likes of 007 and Hannibal Lecter. It wasn't until he landed the role of Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter's Slytherin supervillain, that he was catapulted into the limelight at just twelve years old. With candor and his own trademark humor, Tom shares his experience of growing up on screen and as part of the wizarding world for the very first time. He shares all about the Harry Potter auditioning process, his big break and the lasting friendships he made during ten years of part of the franchise, as well as the highs and lows of worldwide fame and the reality of navigating adult life after filming finished. From flying lessons to run-ins with Death Eaters, prepare to meet a real-life wizard!"--, Provided by publisher
