its mean and wont let me wacht it :((((( waaaaaa * im cryin on the inside*

Wow, that was AMAZING! It made me want to reread the series for the 15th time (I'm not joking). I had no idea that Jo didn't/doesn't have a good relationship with her father. She really is my hero. She overcame so much adversity and depression, and I know what those are like. She truly is an amazing person, and I am so thankful for her wonderful books. They really have changed my life considerably. I wish I could tell this to Jo in person. She is my hero! Thanks for posting the video, MuggleNet!!!

I see that some people are saying that the ITV player doesn't work. The player they used takes a while to load completely. I've used it before, and you just have to have patience. I clicked the play button to get it going, and then once it was, I just paused it, and then let it load to 100% before watching it. I suggest that, that way nobody has to go through the irritation of it starting and stopping. I finished watching it about a half hour ago, and I thought it was great. It's so cool to see Jo just doing normal things at home, and then seeing her go on a private jet so she can do different events.

I am invigorated by the fact that at least the U.K. can present the serious, emotional aspects of the book instead of acting foolish in an attempt to appeal to children. Remember when the U.S. news station (Today's Show, was it), acted as if all Harry Potter fans were 5 year olds? Insulting.

i love it so far!!!


Posted by lilyevans412 Dec 31st 2007

OMG - I have always loved Jo but I love her even more now that I know her story. The dementors always made me think of depression, and now she confirmed it. I always knew that Jo was down-to-earth, but she seems so much more human to me now that I know she has suffered from the same things that most of us do. She has really shown us that anything is possible - that you don't have to have had the perfect life to achieve great things. I admire her so much for all the challenges that she overcame and the lives that she has changed, mine included. Her books have helped me through so much...I don't even know where to begin. I LOVE YOU JO!!!!

Beautiful.


Posted by potterwatch17 Dec 31st 2007

Just finished watching it... absolutely amazing, I've been reading h.p. since i was 11, still can't get over the fact that it's all over.... JO, IF BY THE TINIEST CHANCE THAT YOU'RE READING THIS, YOU ARE A TRULY AMAZING PERSON AND BRILLIANT WRITER!!!!!!!! THANKS FOR THESE GREAT YEARS.... and e/o else out there... watch the documentary, its really really really good


Posted by lilyevans412 Dec 31st 2007

For those of you who can't watch it from the website, go to youtube and type in "J K Rowling a year in her life" and the documentary will come up. Enjoy!


Posted by rooon Dec 31st 2007

Omg! That was great... only it took almost 2 hours to load/watch! Oh well, is was so worth it! Thanks again for posting that!


Posted by hpgirl_91 Dec 31st 2007

This by far exceeded my expectations. I just finished it and I feel that we as a fandom are so completely blessed. I feel so lucky that JKR was willing to share such a personal part of her life with all of us and that we got to get a real close look at the author that we all love. The documentary was handled with such care and I felt that it explored all aspects of her life beautifully. After seeing this I feel that JKR is not only an amazing author but a women whom should be respected and adored in her own right.


Posted by DailyProphetAce Dec 31st 2007

Thank you ITV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!


Posted by konstantine Dec 31st 2007

It's really awesome, but where's MuggleCast??


Posted by Arry Dec 31st 2007

ditto.


Posted by Travis Dec 31st 2007

Wow, that was really amazing, interesting, and emotional. I don't feel like there was really too much information that I hadn't heard before, and yet I feel like I learned so much.


Posted by DailyProphetAce Dec 31st 2007

It was amazing, I feel so completely inspired by her. I don't know what else to say at the moment. I think Travis just said it best.


Posted by Grey Dec 31st 2007

I just finished it and it was just absolutely brilliant. I have to admit that I cried a little bit which surprised me because I very rarely cry. But watching it made me feel something. It's as if it reached deep inside me and brushed the edge of my soul for a second. I can't really describe it.


Posted by mvWeasley Dec 31st 2007

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I love you all, that's amazing! Aaaaaw!


Posted by phoenixfeather11inches Dec 31st 2007

Lovely:) Only, the video's stopping every ten seconds or so. What I suggest is that you delete the sound and press play, minimize the tray and do something else while it plays from start to end. Then you can watch it fluently the second time. Well, don't need to if your PC plays it thouroughly!!


Posted by gernumblie Dec 31st 2007

Jo! If you ever-ever-ever happen to read this - thank you!!! You are an incredible woman!


Posted by Kid_A Dec 31st 2007

I downloaded the video to me computer via torrent; it is very good! Jo is like a goddess for me...


Posted by magiclover Dec 31st 2007

this is awsome I was almost sure I can never watch it and it took almost 5 hours to watch it(internet is very slow where I live) but it was worth it

Wow, I just finished watching it and I'm in tears. It's so amazing.


Posted by roxorgirl13 Dec 31st 2007

it wont go all the way through. once i get to a certain part it just restarts


Posted by kalb Dec 31st 2007

So glad it's on the web now. I was all over youtube looking for it last night.


Posted by tiassa Dec 31st 2007

That was so nice and sad. if any cheesecakian is lurking out there please come out


Posted by kalb Dec 31st 2007

If you are getting breaks in the video - click pause and wait for it to totally load, then hit play and watch it in its entirety. It may take a while, but it's less frustrating this way.


Posted by angelaEH1121 Dec 31st 2007

Brilliant.


Posted by pygmypuff811 Dec 31st 2007

Quotes
Never used an Unforgivable Curse before, have you, boy? You need to mean them, Potter! You need to really want to cause pain — to enjoy it — righteous anger won't hurt me for long — I'll show you how it is done, shall I? I'll give you a lesson —

Bellatrix Lestrange
Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 36, Page 810
