Beyond the Wand: The Magic & Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard by Tom Felton

emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Tom Felton's autobiography not only describes the impact Harry Potter had on his life, but also his life - growing up, learning who he was outside of the Potter world, and how to live with with mental illness. Felton's honesty was moving, especially the final chapters that address his recovery and time in rehab. Surprisingly, I wasn't aware of that aspect of his life and empathized with his journey to mental wellness. Overall, his humor and sincerity made this one of my favorite reads this year.
