Harry Potter film series, revealed that he began “drinking to escape” and spent much of his 20s in bars, noting that his troubles often spilled into his professional life.“Drinking becomes a habit at the best of times,” Felton wrote in his newly-released book Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard.“When you’re drinking to escape a situation, even more so. The habit spilled out of the bar and, from time to time, on to set.”He continued: “It came to the point where I would think nothing of having a drink while I was working. I’d turn up unprepared, not the professional I wanted to be.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic “Harry Potter” has had many imitators, but none so blatant or irredeemably over-the-top as Netflix franchise starter “The School for Good and Evil,” an extravagant YA costume show from “Bridesmaids” director Paul Feig that follows two friends to an elite academy where the heroes and villains of future fairy tales are trained. The whole idea derives from a book series by Soman Chainani, though it’s obvious where it really comes from: the imagination of J.K. Rowling, who must be positively livid watching what looks like the most expensive episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” ever produced. Feig goes full camp here, casting Kerry Washington and Charlize Theron to play the decked-out divas who oversee the enchanted institution’s two sides. The former embodies Professor Dovey, a prissy headmistress in Tweety Bird-yellow threads, who’s always going on about the rules, while Theron’s evil-minded Lady Lesso takes her fashion cues from Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS. Joined by Laurence Fishburne (as the Morpheus-like School Master), Michelle Yeoh (largely wasted as some kind of beauty instructor) and Cate Blanchett (in voice only, as the film’s self-aware narrator), these stars have been given carte blanche to chew the scenery.

The feelings are mutual between Emma Watson and Tom Felton as they disclose more information about their enchanting yet difficult-to-describe connection. While their romantic relationship is about as real as the magical wizardry in the movie series that catapulted them to fame, "Harry Potter," there is, as Felton describes, "something unspoken" between the two co-stars.
