Id say hes foolish to be messing around with aliens, but I guess hes not an idiot. He seems like a good guy. Just got in the wrong crowd. I didn't believe in aliens on earth until a few days ago, but the proof is substantial.

No school on Wed.? Lucky. Well, yeah, as a Pats fan, i hate the colts and Peyton very passionately. About Spygate, well, we know they didnt film these last fifteen games and look what happened! we couldve killed the Jets anyway. Lol, i just read some comments from the "spiderwick" post, alastormoody was insulting people because they DIDNT USE SPELLING CORRECTTLY. sad....

For anyone who still cannot get it on the ITV website, go to http://www.tvcatchup.com/ watch/15050/ instead.

I've had the thing loading all day, and it still isn't done. is the official website the only place to get it? The one on YouTube has been taken down.


Posted by I8Voldymortyum Dec 31st 2007

bummer everyones gona agian...bad luck...

You know, if you guys used things like AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and such, you can have your chat-like conversations in there, instead of bombarding this page with comments that are really making it hard for people that are desperately looking for a way to watch this documentary from getting help.


Posted by Lunai Dec 31st 2007

Ahhh, none of the links here are working! Oh, I'm so MAD I missed it! AGGHH! I want to watch this so bad. It's not fair that it's only in the UK. They aren't the only ones who love Harry, you know. They are completely cutting the rest of the world out. They won't air it for us, and now they are taking it off the internet. >___< Nothing against europeans in general, I'm just ranting.


Posted by alastormoody Dec 31st 2007

If you go to the episodes thing, then search it, it loads faster


Posted by expectogirl Dec 31st 2007

if you go to tvcatchup forums page under JKR Fans please read they have a direct link to the show yipee and HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's 11:58 here and I'm finally going to watch it:)


Posted by candice Jan 1st 2008

yay! i watched it already. though a chunk of the things in the documentary were already shown in this site before (transcription of interviews, trailers, etc), it was still very informative. it's fun seeing jk rowling going through it all. kudos to the film crew. "JK Rowling... A Year in the Life" was well done :-)


Posted by kpo9876 Jan 1st 2008

It is not working.... it hasn't even started, it just keeps loading and loading and loading... anybody have some suggestions?


Posted by purp1epr0t3g0 Jan 1st 2008

I watched it yesterday... and i usually hate documentaries, but this one was amazing. It made me laugh, and cry, and I think it is amazing how much she had to go through. Before, i just thought of her as JKRowling... author of Harry Potter, but not it is so much more. I really want to meet her now. lol. Also, i think it so nice that she has so many people supporting her. :)

aPotter321 is getting banned for his comment in the MC post.


Posted by kt29616 Jan 1st 2008

The link above doesn't work because we all overloaded the server, but if you go to the link, at the top of the page, click "forums" then it says "Attention fans of JK rowling" and in that, has a link where you can watch the video.


Posted by Dobby4ever Jan 1st 2008

I can't wait to watch it. Mine won't work on that tvcathcup.com thing.. I'm going to rearead Hp again, but in danish though. I want to read it in danish too. :D


Posted by Dobby4ever Jan 1st 2008

I Think it works now!!!!! YESSSSS!


Posted by Dobby4ever Jan 1st 2008

WOW! That was really an amazing documentary! I'm soo going to reread the books again.. soon!


Posted by dobby101 Jan 1st 2008

what did apotter321 say?


Posted by mighty Jan 1st 2008

Yes, it got yanked from youtube. I googled it and wound up on tvcatchup. However, it's taken 15 minuted to load 15 percent of this show. At this rate, I should be able to watch it ... oh ... maybe in April.


Posted by mugglescene Jan 1st 2008

Kindergarten Cop? Hahahaha. But... wow. wow. that's all I can say.


Posted by mighty Jan 1st 2008

Posted by Phoenix87 Jan 1st 2008

Well, I'm glad I saw it on YouTube before they took it off. But, GRRR... they should at least give us the video on YouTube if TVCatchup's darn servers couldn't handle the demand. Outrageous.


Posted by dobby101 Jan 1st 2008

you have the power 2 ban people felix? wow


Posted by steph53282 Jan 1st 2008

Did I get the wrong link or is the entire documentary only 16 minutes long?


Posted by alia7 Jan 1st 2008

TCCatchup said the server was overloaded, so there is a new link. http://www.tvcat chup.com/watch/15050/ I'm on it now and it's working fine. Enjoy and Happy New Year! =)


Posted by leblount Jan 1st 2008

The site says its only 16 minutes but if you just let it run, it'll give you the whole thing. The interview is incredible, thanks so much for the new link, alia7! Also, the UK commercials are fun!

Posted by Acciodan Jan 2nd 2008

they've made it so you have to sign up for an account on the UK website and you have to be a UK resident to watch. they've also taken it off of youtube. anyone know where else to find the documentary?


Posted by Katherine_the_Classic Jan 2nd 2008

I just went to the website and said that I was a resident of the UK. They don't check it or anything. :P Good luck!

Posted by member_of_SPEW Jan 2nd 2008

AAAARGH why won't they let us watch it on youtube? and why must you register to watch it on the website? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *dies*


Posted by GoodSpirit Jan 2nd 2008

If anyone wants to watch this documentary but cannot get it to load on TVcatchup, you can download a torrent of it. (for those of you that don't know what torrents are, you can check wikipedia for all the information you need). There is a great and fast-downloading torrent on isohunt. Last time I checked there was about 50 seeds, and it only took about 20 minutes to download. cheers! = D


Posted by Bellatrix73188 Jan 2nd 2008

Oh my god, the documentary was absolutely wonderful. Jo is so modest and beautiful. I adore her. Thanks UK!


Posted by Tlx Jan 2nd 2008

This is great for us Americans !!! Thanks.


Posted by lilpotterfan Jan 2nd 2008

ive tried looking for the documentry everywhere...but the only place there is actually a video is on the tvcatchup link. that video refuses to load for me...so i have come to the conclusion that it doesnt work for people in America. is this true or should i try again? or is there another link i can go to, to watch the video?


Posted by Tlx Jan 2nd 2008

@ lilpotterfan: I'm from America and it works just fine for me. Try reloading the video.


Posted by koeppelicious Jan 6th 2008

WHAT THE HECK!!!!! NONE OF THE LINKS WORK FOR ME!!!! :( even the tvcatchup link :( it says you have to be in england, and it doesn't ask you if you do, or else i would just say i were, but it checks your ip address! i reeeeeeeally want to watch it! does anyone have any ideas?


Posted by anglophile Jan 6th 2008

I went to try to watch this right after I saw the post and my Safari (Mac) kept crashing so I used my (much slower) Internet Explorer and got the video started. It kept stopping to load so I decided to let the whole thing come in and then I would start it over and hope it would run smoothly. However, it got stuck right at the part where they were showing the family tree. I decided I would try back later and today I tried and suddenly access is denied for anyone outside of the United Kingdom!! I surely hope this is released on DVD some day so that all of Jo's fans can watch, not just the ones in the UK.


Posted by Cygnet Jan 7th 2008

I'm so upset that because my IP address is not from the UK, that I can't watch it. And YouTube took it down.


Posted by Mushaboom Jan 7th 2008

"To access this service, you must be: a resident of the United Kingdom in posession of, or covered by, a valid TV Licence Your IP Address is not registered as originating from within the borders of the United Kingdom." =[ I want to cry now.


Posted by rooon Jan 7th 2008

I really loved that!
