Magic Beyond Words: The JK Rowling Story
The J.K. Rowling Story: Magic Beyond Words is a made-for-television film starring Australian actress Poppy Montgomery. The film, which was shot in locations in British Columbia, Canada that have been altered to resemble British locations, chronicles the journey of struggling single mother J. K. Rowling, her quest to become a published author, and her meteoric rise to fame following the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The film, which premiered on Lifetime on July 18th, drew criticism for being underwhelming (largely due to the author's fiercely private nature, who had no say in the production), but it also shed some light on her personal life, with scenes depicting her highly abusive first husband and her mother's death. J.K. Rowling is the world's first billionaire author (measured in US dollars), and the films based on her books are the top grossing movie of all time. Poppy Montgomery reportedly acquired blue contact lenses in order to portray the eminent novelist.
