“It's easy to bask in the sun, not so easy to enjoy the rain. But one can't exist without the other. The weather always changes. Feelings of sadness and happiness deserve equal mental screen time.”

🪴 Tom Felton shares his journey with the world from his Harry Potter audition and his rise to fame to how he exists in a world post Harry Potter.

This story was so reflective on Tom’s world. He shared his outlook on the world and all the lessons he learned along the way. He had some dark moments throughout his life and he did not hold back. He placed so much joy and hilarious moments that had me laughing out loud!

❤️ So much to love about this book. I fell in love with Tom Felton after reading this book and have a new appreciation for his journey. He also had so much kindness to say about his fellow actors that warmed his heart.

📖 This was a balance of Tom’s journey through life and some well-written thoughts on the world with some juicy and laughable Harry Potter insider stories. Very well done Tom!

If you are a lover of the Harry Potter movies, this one is really for you. If you didn’t enjoy them…maybe don’t pick this one up!

“We live in a world where we seem increasingly in need of ways to unify ourselves, ways to build bridges and feel as one. It strikes me that very few things have achieved these aims as successfully as the brilliant world of Harry Potter.”

There are some trigger warnings surrounding this book, so be kind to yourself.
