With bits and pieces of Felton's life leading up to his role as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies, Felton paints a picture of what it was like to be a part of the magical world of Harry Potter. From the challenges involved in directing a bunch of unruly children with little advancements in the technological sphere to the heartfelt advice given by some of the leading actors and actresses in British television, this book is an absolute goldmine for an ardent Potter fan (ME!)

The end result is a story that will leave you gobsmacked!
