More J. K. Rowling news comes today from the Sun Newspaper who is reporting that unprecedented access has been given to RDF Media for a ‘fly-on-the-wall documentary’ thought to air on UK television station ITV1. According to the article, the program has been in production over the past year, filming the author during the time the final Harry Potter was being written. Scheduled for broadcast this winter, we’ll update you on further details about this documentary when they come available.

Pinch of salt: The sun isnt the most reputable of the british newspapers ie: they tell lies so id wait for more confirmation.

EDWARD BTW- ON JONATHAN ROSS JO SAID PEOPLE ASSUME “TWO CHARACTERS DIE, WELL ITS A BLOODBATH! WELL NOT A BLOODBATH BUT MORE THAN TWO DIE!!” ALSO WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE FUTURE POSSIBILITIES OF MORE POTTER “I DONT THINK I WOULD WRITE MORE HARRY POTTER, BUT NEVER SAY NEVER AS I DONT KNOW HOW ILL FEEL ABOUT IT IN TEN YEARS TIME!”

JO. DONT WRITE HARRY POTTER. WRITE JAMES POTTER! I WANT HIS STORY-WITH LILY, THE SUMMERS WITH SIRIUS, HARRYS GRANDPARENTS, RIGHT UP UNTIL THE NIGHT HE DIED. PLEASE!!!

I was laughing at Paul Weller asking for an autograph lol. I dunno if I believe this. Jo, is a notorious private person, and the idea of a film crew filming her, I find difficult to believe. But, I’ll be happy to be proven wrong :p

The interview was good. She was really interesting.

We did of course already know about there being more than two people dying in the last book. I think that was the newspapers fault for mis interpreting what she said all thats time ago.

2 weeks!!!!!!

I think this documentary thing may be true ‘cos there was a report in a newspaper (link:http://www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=231771&command=displayContent&sourceNode=231773&contentPK=17755058&folderPk=108571&pNodeId=231777) where Jo visited her roots possibly for filming the documentary.

Oh my goodness; I can’t wait for this documentary! I have always wanted to see what goes on ‘behind the scenes’. Jo is a real treasure, and I amazed that she can handle all this and still be a mom to three- I think I would crumble from all the stress if it was me; either that, or I would be spending unusually large amounts of time at the Three Broomsticks…

No clip for Jonathan Ross yet? Gyah! Help us poor non-Brits out please =)

And this idea sounds amazing but sadly I don’t believe The Sun…

This will be fantastic – if true. Fingers crossed the Sun are telling the truth for once.

Amy – I wanted to help but currently have no way of getting it over from my TV to my pc (ie, I have mislaid the cable)

That’s great MlleMolly! Bob Hoskins has already acted with Daniel, when he played David Copperfield, like Maggie Smith and Imelda Stauton who were also in that movie. I wonder if he would play a new character or someone we already know? I hope someone upload a video of the interview soon.
