Back in December 2007, British television station ITV aired a great documentary looking at JK Rowling's life and the Potter phenomenon. Those of us in the United States weren't able to see it, but now ABC has announced that they'll be airing the documentary on July 16th! That's just one day after the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. You can see a couple video previews for the documentary here and here. We'll be sure to remind you about it again in July - it's definitely worth checking out!

Yay!! I can see it on the big screen. This documentary is a MUST SEE for everyone whos ever heard of Harry Potter, especially the fans! Its excellent! I saw it on youtube and I seriously want to own it! Its sooo emotional and funny and you really get some insight into JKRs life now and when she first started writing Harry Potter. Its such an inspiring story!

If I remember correctly, the documentary shows the public housing she lived in during her time writing the first book. It looks very comfortable. Its a nice compare and contrast with American public housing.
