Review: Harry Potter’s Tom Felton looks back at the highs and lows of stardom
That introspection, about Felton’s more recent struggles with drugs and alcohol, elevates what otherwise would be a diverting but disposable tome of Harry Potter trivia. Still, if you don’t know a horcrux from a hippogriff, feel free to move along — “Beyond the Wand” should only be assigned reading for Hogwarts completists.
For a book so dominated by Harry Potter — down to the chapter titles, which are chock full of Easter eggs — it’s Felton’s experiences outside the Wizarding World that make “Beyond the Wand” worth reading. His brothers come across as colorful characters whose ribbing went a long way toward keeping Felton grounded. And Felton’s disastrous audition alongside Anthony Hopkins for the 2012 film “Hitchcock” is deliciously cringeworthy.
rehab and wandering the Pacific Coast Highway, trying to find his way back to his neighborhood bar on foot, is especially distressing. “Just as we all experience physical ill-health at some stage in our lives, so we all experience mental ill-health too,” he writes. “There’s no shame in that. It’s not a sign of weakness. And part of the reason that I took the decision to write these pages is the hope that by sharing my experiences, I might be able to help someone else who is struggling.
