First Look: J.K. Rowling...A Year in the Life Documentary

This is shaping up to be quite the banner week for Harry Potter fans, because in addition to our PotterCast interview with Jo, we now have the first look at the upcoming J.K. Rowling...A Year in the Life documentary that will be broadcast later this month on ITV. (Another, showing an emotional Jo visiting her old flat, will be available Sunday.) In this exclusive clip sent to fan sites including TLC, we can see Jo, writing at desk in the Balmoral hotel on January 11 of this year amid piles of notebooks, coffee cups, and discarded gum wrappers, where she says "Yea I've think I've finished," as she stops typing the final words in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." In an emotional moment, J.K. Rowling says that fans will either love it or hate it when the read the last installment in the Harry Potter series, but says she is "really really happy with it." To watch this special moment, please click here to our video galleries JK Rowling...A Year in the Life documentary filmed by James Runcie will be broadcast on UK channel ITV December 30 at 7pm.

Thanks much to ITV!
