Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard Paperback – 6 July 2023

I was interested in reading Tom's book as I was an avid fan of the HP books and loved the films too. I was initially keen to hear about Tom's experiences on the film sets and the annecdotes from his time as Draco. Once I started to read the book, I was immediately hooked, so much so that I had read the whole book in just a few days. I was fully immersed in each chapter. I thought Tom wrote well and you could really 'hear' his personality through his words. I was also impressed with his ability to relay his personal experiences in LA in such an honest and thought-provoking way. I am very glad that I decided to give this book a chance and I would definitely recommend it to others.

i have never really been into reading, i've never sat and read a whole book through from start to finish. However i finished this book within 5 days! i would find myself excited to read the next chapter. a real 10/10 read and would recommend to any harry potter fan. I was gutted when i finished this book so may have to re-read🤣. 100% recommend xx

As a fan of Harry Potter I found it interesting to learn the back story of one of the characters. It was nice to see how humble Tom is and how he took great wisdom from so.e of the well known actors to help with his career. Made for an enjoyable and interesting read.

"Not all those who wand-er are lost." Admittedly, these words of wisdom originate from another famous wizard however "Beyond the Wand" provides magical insightfulness to both wizards and muggles alike. This heartfelt read shows that Tom Felton really is another "Boy Who Lived" and boy does he have the scars to show it, just not a lightening shaped one. His words are magic in their purest form. Raw, powerful and moving.

One of the best autobiographies I have read and listened to in some time. If affordable, I'd highly recommend purchasing the audiobook as companion to the book. It really brings Tom's story to life and what a story it is to tell. Whilst Tom acknowledges the incredible highlights of his life thus far including his starring role on Harry Potter, he also speaks openly about his challenges with mental health and addiction. The writing is sincere, full of humour and sharp wit and this made it a thoroughly enjoyable read. Whether you are a Harry Potter fan or interested in Tom as a person, I'd highly recommend this book.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Thank you Tom, for your honesty. Your book opened my eyes to the life of child actors and the potential pitfalls of your profession.

Very well written, with some laugh out loud moments, Tom's account gallops through his life so far. Some memorable glimpses of his Harry Potter days, alongside darker days, is shared with us all. I read it in one sitting - an excellent read. Thank you, Tom

I really enjoyed this book - so much so I read it all in only a couple of days.The anecdotes were really good fun but at the same time poignant and well thought out, it all comes together to give a real insight into Tom’s world and his experiences.There wasn’t tonnes of new information for dye hard Potter fans but more of a sense of the day to day and how it felt to be on set, in the Wizarding World.
