Last year, lucky viewers in the UK were able to view the special “J.K. Rowling: A Year in the Life” documentary. That documentary is now set to air this weekend in Australia, and thanks to Sunrise, who let us know about a highlights reel they broadcast today. While we have seen clips of the JKR documentary made by James Runcie previously (including this one regarding the second generation), you can watch the preview clip that aired on Australian television via this link.
On a related note, while we are not aware of any plans to broadcast this program here in the US as of yet, a reminder that in November, ABC News will be broadcasting their own documentary on J.K. Rowling here in the States. This documentary is said to include “several interviews, the book tour for the final “Harry Potter” installment, and a tour of locations that inspired her characters. It even hints to what the future holds for Harry and his friends.”
Aussies always get things after other people, and this is a good example.
So is HBP, which they are getting THREE WEEKS after the US and the UK.
A petition has been started to move the Australian date. It has alreadly received 750 signatures. Evidence from a previous petition about moving the Aussie OotP release date shows that 2000 sigs are is a good amount to have to get any action done (which did happen with OotP).
Help Aussie reach 2000 by signing!

just finished watching it in aus, it was pretty good, u could tell they added camera effects and music to make it over dramatic at times. where is the HBP trailer !!!!!!! ahahaha lol. is there a reason why channel 7 aired this. mayb its trailer time this week…....
Yay! I watched the documentary just before. It was great. I love seeing Jo, it makes me so happy! Also I signed that petition. I don’t think I can wait till December to see HBP!! At least not without a good reason as to why they are waiting to show it in Australia. Hopefully they will change it too sooner! :)
I LOVED it!!!
When Jo starting crying at the end I just want to run up to her and give her a hug, but alas, that was impossible =(
I reckon it was great doco, by far the best I’ve ever watched
That sounds pretty cool. I can’t wait to see the one that will be here in the US!
