Will we ever get to see it in the USA? Or a DVD? Surely someone can get a contract to broadcast it here. PBS? One of the cable channels? Someone please step up to the plate.

I hope that they show this in the US, because when they do I am going to record it!

I live in the US… Does anybody know when it’s going to air out here, or, perhaps, release it on DVD? I’d love to watch this…..

I can’t imagine they wouldn’t eventually release it for the rest of the world. Still I would also like to know when.

Thats awesome! I’ve been meaning to search for the documentary online, though I’m certainly glad its going to be aired over here. Thanks for the heads-up, probably would have missed it. :)

I had it up on Youtube when it aired in UK and it was pulled down by the tv network (ITV) due to copyright infringement. I never put anything recorded off tv up on youtube again since but I have so much Rowling stuff recorded and wish I could share these videos with other Rowling fans who cant see them.
