"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 plasters 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."
My Rating: 4/5
I don't rate nonfiction stories based on what they contain as I don't feel right stating that I didn't enjoy hearing about someone's life experience, or facts of history, etc. I do always rate them based on the writing style and this one was enjoyable. I think listening to the audiobook was the way to go for me as the author reads it himself and it helps you understand parts of his humour. I enjoyed listening to it. Would recommend it if you are interested.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
