Harry Potter fans race to decode cryptic message from Draco actor Tom Felton

Harry Potter star Tom Felton has teased the possibility of a brand new autobiography through a sly message to his followers on social media.

Writing on his Instagram, the Draco Malfoy actor wrote: "i’ve got a very special announcement to make tomorrow! hoNestlY, i’ve Been holDing onto this One for a while but i’m Excited to finally share it with you all!

"And i want to thank you for all of your never-enDing support over the years. i wouldN’t be able to do What i love everyday without you."

Looks like a totally normal message, right? Well, look again.

All of the letters that Tom has specifically chosen to capitalise can be unscrambled to spell out the phrase "Beyond The Wand" - could this be a book title?

Fans flocked to the comments to discuss the cryptic message in his post, with one Instagram user writing: "there's a hidden message I believe."

Another said: "These capital letters tho."

And a third finally cracked the code: "beyond the wand, it's the title of the book he's releasing."

And after even more sleuthing online, the Penguin publishing website has posted the official blurb and main image for Tom's new venture.

The blurb reads: "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."

Harry Potter fans, how are we feeling? Ecstatic, I hope!
