    Beyond the wand: the magic and mayhem of growing up a wizard

      They called for a break, and Gambon magicked up a cigarette from out of his beard. He and I were often to be found outside the stage door, having 'a breath of fresh air', as we referred to it. There would be painters and plasterers and chippies and sparks, and among them all would be me and Dumbledore having a crafty cigarette. From Borrower to wizard, Tom Felton's adolescence was anything but ordinary. His early rise to fame saw him catapulted into the limelight aged just twelve when he landed the iconic role of Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films. Speaking with candour and his own trademark humour, Tom shares his experience of growing up on screen and as part of the wizarding world for the very first time. He tells all about his big break, what filming was really like and the lasting friendships he made during ten years as part of the franchise, as well as the highs and lows of fame and the reality of navigating adult life after filming finished. Prepare to meet a real-life wizard.

      Le feu et la glace . La science dans Game of thrones . Un mur de glace de 200 mètres de haut pourrait-il vraiment tenir 8 000 ans ? Combien de temps aurait-il réellement fallu à Viserys Targaryen pour mourir sous un flot d'or en fusion ? De la composition de l'acier valyrien à l'aérodynamie des dragons, du Mur de glace à l'héritage génétique des familles Targaryen et Lannister, partez à la découverte du monde fantastique de George R. R. Martin, dans lequel la science tient tout autant de la fiction que le récit lui-même : climatologie inventée, astronomie, métallurgie, chimie, biologie... A la lumière des lois de la science, Rebecca Thompson décrypte l'imaginaire fondateur de la série au succès planétaire.
