3.5

If you’re a fan of Tom Felton and Harry Potter, this is a great book to listen to the audio for. Tom does a great job narrating his own stories and does give you a glimpse of life of set - which was fun. I can’t say anything he wrote about was groundbreaking and I liked his recap of his substance abuse struggles towards the end, but overall it seems that growing up on set wasn’t too bad for him. Would only recommend if you’re a fan!

Let’s be real, I was always going to rank this book pretty highly. I loved getting to glimpse behind the scenes of the Harry Potter films and hearing about Tom’s anecdotes about his fellow cast members, but I also enjoyed that it included stories about his non-Potter works (we were, after all, looking beyond the wand) and a deeper look into the effects of fame.

Tom Felton’s autobiography Beyond the Wand is lighthearted, warm, inspiring, and at times sad. I felt an enormous amount of affection towards Tom as he reflected on his life and career. Definitely would recommend!
