Post Video: First look at making of J.K. Rowling unauthorised television biopic

Entertainment programme Access Hollywood visited to the set of the unauthorised biopic based on Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, called Magic Beyond Words: The J.K. Rowling Story, which will air on U.S. network Lifetime later this year. The film, currently being shot in Canada, stars Australian actress Poppy Montgomery as the famous author, and loosely depicts earlier stages of her life, leading to the early days of her writing the Harry Potter book series in the early- to mid-1990s. That can be viewed below.





Again, please note that this is an UNAUTHORISED film, with no contribution from J.K. Rowling herself, and that it is loosely based on her life.

I'm already not liking this. I know I should wait to judge after I've seen it (if I choose to see it) but J.K. Rowling is extremely private about her personal life for good reason. I assume they aren't going to portray her in a completely positive light to "add" to the story. I know no one's perfect but to sell films, filmmakers do tend to make up things that aren't true about them at all.

The sad part about this all is that we were the generation that got to experience the magic and imagination of Harry Potter and grow up with these books. They were a part of our childhoods. However, this generation is going know about J.K. Rowling through "biopics" like these, or "unauthorized biographies" and as much as I hate to admit it, people aren't all that smart when it comes to deciding between what to believe. They're most likely going to believe what's in the film where the story is hand fed to them rather than do their own research. I mean there are people who call themselves hardcore "Potter fans" because they watch the films but say the books are too boring to pick up so the next generation doesn't seem to have much of a chance.

Oh and I'm not trying to be mean or anything but if Poppy Montgomery was a real fan, then she would know that she really shouldn't be doing something like this. I'm just saying…

This sums up pretty much how I feel. I'm guessing that Rowling's lawyers can't do anything to stop this film?

As someone else mentioned, Jo is pretty reserved about her life. Any information this film presents will be taken from small tidbits from interviews and such. Most of all, I feel that this film will not focus on the history, but on the drama.

I agree with both of you...I'm a little mixed on this...

Somehow I don't think Poppy Montgomery won't get to meet her? But what do I know...

I'm not too sure about this. It feels tabloid-like. And I don't think I can buy Poppy Montgomery as JKR even though I really like her from Without a Trace. We'll see I guess...

Urgh, sorry but to me this looks horrible! Jo's a private person and it makes me sad to think that this might upset her.

Looks interesting enough. Lil worried that it's unauthorized. You'd think if they were going to make a movie about J.K. Rowling they'd want her 2 be involved in some way. Hopefully they don't portray her in a bad light!

I'll watch it, but... it's Lifetime. I'm not expect anything completely amazing, to be honest. I'll give it a chance, though.

Hmm, now I don't know how this might turn out but I'm not a fan of unauthorized films and such. However, I do hope that it's going to be genuine at the very least.
