In this memoir, actor Felton recounts his years making the Harry Potter movies (he played the sneering Draco Malfoy), as well as the movies and projects he worked on before and after. While most of the book is fairly light and full of anecdotes about boyish troubles on-set, the latter part of the book gets pretty real, with his account of going to rehab for alcohol use and mental health issues. He's frank, self-aware (I loved how he notes that he mansplained something to Emma Watson as a kid), and full of care for the people in his life. I listened to the audiobook (read by Felton) with my Harry Potter-obsessed daughter, and even in the more serious parts, we both enjoyed the listen.
