Actor Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, will publish Beyond the Wand, his first biography on October 2022.
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.
Published by Ebury Press (and imprint of Penguin Random House), some online bookstores say the book will be out on October 13th, while others have October 18th as the release date. It is expected that the publication date will be confirmed soon.
It is interesting to note that the book will be published the same week as “Madly, Deeply: The Diaries of Alan Rickman”, the collection of private diaries of the late actor who played other Slytherin in the Harry Potter films, Severus Snape.
