Undertaking to steal a porn DVD at the age of (almost) 14: this is the kind of ineptitude that a teenager, anything but normal, tries to do to be socially accepted. At least, that’s what Tom Felton thought at the time when he got caught in the bag (or case). It is therefore with vulnerability that the autobiography of the interpreter of Draco Malfoy opens in the saga Harry Potter. This theme cradles the work of the now 35-year-old who looks back on the ups and downs (especially) of a life that took place between the sets and school. The one nicknamed at the time “wanker with a broom” by his classmates tells his story between his family of Muggles – divorced parents and three older brothers with questionable, but undeniable influences – and his family of wizards, all beautifully illustrated. of a few pictures. Carp fishing, plateau secrets, mental health, addiction, breaths of fresh air, friendships and painful goodbyes: the perfect balance between the anecdote and the essential. Any lover of the saga or of the man finds his account in this beautifully put together reading.
