Be enchanted by Neil Patrick Harris' whimsical 'Magic Misfits'

My favourite time when I was a child was going to bed. After my brother and I were tucked in, we’d be treated to stories from our father’s imagination – always with two boys named after us. My brother loved action adventures; I thrilled at magic tales and spells. The story would inevitably have both and we’d drift off to dreamland with fantastic visions in our heads. That’s the feeling The Magic Misfits by Neil Patrick Harris conjures for me – even as a grownup.

The multitalented Harris is an Emmy and Tony Award-winning actor, comedian, singer and dancer, star of the TV sitcom How I Met Your Mother and Broadway musical Hedwig And The Angry Inch and father of two kids. And, it turns out, he writes really well, too.
