  • Story:

    Magic Beyond Words: The J.K. Rowling Story is a made-for-TV film starring Australian actress Poppy Montgomery. The film, which was shot in B.C. Canada locations altered to look like British locations, details the journey of struggling single mother J. K. Rowling, her bid to become a published author, and her rise to fame that followed the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The film aired on Lifetime on July 18th and was criticized for being too lacklustre (mainly down to the fiercely private author having no say in the production) but it also shed some light on her personal life and featured scenes such as her highly abusive first husband and the death of her mother. The eponymous J.K. Rowling is the world's first billionaire (in terms of US dollars) author and the films inspired by her books have been the highest grossing films of all time. Poppy Montgomery reportedly got blue contact lenses to play the role of the highly influential author.

TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

This movie has not been endorsed, supported or even verified by J.K. Rowling.

Though the movie contains British accents, it uses North American terms in place of British ones.

In the final scene, J.K. Rowling wears a poppy, presumably because she was at an early November event. She is wearing a Canadian poppy with a modern black centre, instead of a UK poppy or a mid 90's Canadian poppy with a green centre.

Sarah Desjardins's debut.
