Margot Robbie is an Australian actress and producer, and a devoted Harry Potter reader. This list collects books she has named in interviews, including a Chanel literary-series conversation. It runs from childhood fantasy through school classics to a book on film history.
“Her first book. A teacher read it aloud when she was about eight, and she borrowed a copy because she couldn't wait to find out what happened next.”
“She found the series on a holiday and now rereads every book, many times over, as a way to unwind. Start here if you want comfort reading.”
“She was reading it and called it a grown-up take on Harry Potter. Good for anyone who loved Hogwarts and wants something less cosy.”
“Named on a list of her favourites, with no comment from her on why. Take it as a nod, not a recommendation.”
“Her pick for anyone in their twenties in London. She says it gets female friendship exactly right.”
“She calls it one of her favourite books ever and says it means everything to her. That's about as strong an endorsement as she gives.”
“A school read she never shook off. She named her dog Boo Radley, which tells you how deep it went.”
“She took it backpacking at 18, and it pulled her into the Spain of the bull runs. Best read while you're somewhere else.”
“Peter Biskind's account of 1970s Hollywood. She loves it, and it shaped how she approached Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”
