J.K. Rowling: A Year in the Life

View Date: 7/17/09

This was a documentary special aired by ABC right after the latest Harry Potter movie was released. A film crew worked with Jo Rowling during the time she was finishing the final Harry Potter book. Interviews were also conducted during this time frame. They reviewed her childhood, her time living on welfare, and the process of writing her famous books. They also discussed the loss of her mother and other happenings that greatly influenced her writing.

The show was OK. Even with how big of a fan I am, I probably wouldn't watch this again. I have seem many better shows about the author, and many better interviews. It felt kind of choppy and haphazardly put together.

10 words or less: Watch the Biography Channel episode instead.
