It's a huge week for millennials who base a large part of their personality on their Hogwarts house (...so, me).

Tom Felton, a.k.a Draco Malfoy, has released a book,Beyond The Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard, documenting memorable moments from filming the franchise, his experiences as a young person who grew up in the public eye and yes, his relationship with Emma Watson.

Here are 10 interesting things we learned.

He didn't know anything aboutHarry Potterwhen he auditioned for Draco.

Felton said he approached theHarry Potterauditions with his "usual lack of overt enthusiasm", saying he "bullsh*tted" his way through an instance where director Chris Columbus asked what he was most looking forward to seeing in the films.

He believes this helped him land the role.

"They were looking for people who were these characters. With Daniel, Rupert and Emma, they nailed it. They pretty much are - or at least they were - Harry, Ron and Hermione. And while I like to think Draco and I were not exactly alike, there was surely something about my general nonchalance that caught the eye."

Felton had secret run-ins with the law as a teenager.

After the firstHarry Potterfilm release, a 14-year-old Felton was hanging with friends at a mall when he tried to impresss others - by offering to steal an 'adult' DVD.

Doh.

"You might think, and rightly so, that with my distinct blonde hairdo I'd be well advised to avoid trouble," he says, "but teenagers don't do sensible things."

He did not succeed, and a headshot was plastered on the wall of the store. He said he was terrified that someone would find out about this and he would be fired as Draco.

In another hush-hush incident, which not even Warner Bros. found out about, Felton recalled how he was arrested for weed possession during "a typical adolescent phase".

His and Emma Watson's relationship didn't get off to the best start.

Felton recalled his early interactions with Emma Watson, which included scoffing at her for questioning a boom mic during an audition and laughing at a dance she'd put together to show the cast.

He said that he later came to regret his early behaviour. He said he realised that Watson had the "most to deal with", as the youngest cast member and only girl.

"So the last thing she needed, in an environment that should have been — and normally was — safe and friendly and familial, was Josh [Herdman, who played Goyle] and me laughing at her dance," he explained.

"That's why I feel ashamed by the memory of our behaviour. And that's why I'm glad that our friendship did not founder on the rocks of my insensitivity."

Felton and Watson have a mutual love for each other.

For a long time, fans of Felton and Watson have speculated about 'Dramione', hoping that the real life actors behind the characters would date.

Watson long ago admitted that Felton was her first ever crush, and the pair have regularly shared photos from their catch-ups over the years, but it seems like fans will have to leave that dream behind.

"I've always had a secret love for Emma, though not perhaps in the way that people might want to hear. That isn't to say that there's never been a spark between us. There most definitely has, only at different times," Felton wrote.

He added: "I loved and admired her as a person in a way that I could never explain to anybody else... we were kindred spirits."

Watson also wrote a super sweet foreword for the book.

"You know that person in your life who makes you feel seen? That person who is somehow a witness to all that unfolds? That person who knows - really knows - what is happening to you and what you're going through, without anything having to be said? For me, that person is Tom Felton," she wrote.

She said their friendship had allowed her to move through some of the most challenging and soul-searching moments of her life.

"We're soulmates, and we've always had each other's back. I know we always will," she wrote. "It makes me emotional to think about it."

Felton almost quit acting afterHarry Potter.

Felton recalled a period in his life after theHarry Potterfilms, where he considered quitting acting altogether.

He said his then-girlfriend Jade Olivia, a stunt assistant who also played his onscreen wife in the final movie, was a "driving force" for him to keep going. She helped him make audition tapes and run times, and he wrote "had it not been for her encouragement, I wouldn't have a career now".

AfterHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, Felton starred in films such asRise of the Planet of the Apes, supernatural horrorThe Apparitionand indie dramaFrom the Roughopposite Taraji P. Henson.

In 2022, he made his debut on London's West End, and will star inCanyon Del Muertoalongside Val Kilmer and Abigail Breslin.
