Loading ...In Depth Preview of ITV Documentary on J.K.Rowling
Thanks to TLC, we now have an in-depth preview of the ITV documentary on Jo (which will be aired on December 30).
New details include the exact time Jo turned over her complete manuscript of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” are available (The handover is at Heathrow airport at 10.43 on Friday 12th January 2007), as well as new quotes from JKR, her publishers and even her husband, Dr. Neil Murray are included in the preview. Of note are quotes from our favorite author at the moment she finished the book in Edinburgh,
Scotland:
“Some people will loathe it, they will absolutely loathe it. But the thing is that’s how it should be, and for some people to love it others must loathe it. That’s just in the nature of the plot. Some people won’t be happy because what they wanted to happen won’t have happened. “And to an extent there‘s so much expectation from the hard core fans that I’m not sure I could ever match up to it. I’m actually really, really happy with it, and it’s very odd to think that this will be broadcast after loads of people have read it and people may right now be throwing things at the screen.”
This documentary follows JKR during the writing and publication of the last Harry Potter novel, and reflects the various moods and obstacles Jo faced during her completion of the book. She also speaks to attending the Order of the Phoenix premiere in London, England, which took place several weeks before the release of book seven. Read More »

Jo has made several updates to her website today! One can be found in the Extra Stuff section regarding the Elder wand, a couple can be found in the FAQ area here and here, and one is the Characters area.
The author also made a nice update to her diary, where she reflects on the Summer that was:
The US/Canadian tour was my favourite ever. If anybody reading this was in the audience for any of those events, thank you, because they were only as wonderful as they were because of the brilliant questions and the overwhelming warmth of those present.
And lastly, in the News section, Jo revealed that the documentary (who’s crew was following her for a year leading up to the release of Deathly Hallows) will be aired on ITV in the UK on December 30th, 2007.

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling attended the British Comedy Awards last night in London, England. Online reports say that Jo presented actor Stephen Fry (narrator of the UK Harry Potter audio books) with a lifetime achievement award. Host Jonathan Ross also joked with our favorite author when he “cheekily asked her to sign a book for him, not one of her own Harry Potter ones but a tome by rival kiddie author Philip Pullman! She gamely played along.” The Daily Mail has a good photo of Jo at this event.
