I've answered this before on here: In children's publishing, it (was) a big no-no to write about children going to (boarding) school, as publishers didn't think there was enough escapism for children to be interested. i.e. it would be a waste of time and money in publishing such a book

K. Rowling should have shown *more imagination*! (Moral of the story: If something is outstandingly good, there will always be some ass who will try to show how much better *they* are, by adversely criticizing it.)

+Offshoreorganbuilder tbh when you wonder, it really isnt somehow original or innovative idea. In fact, setting plot of each book in period of one school season and setting action in boarding school is not original by any means. Anyway these are brilliant ideas, even if the concept wasnt new. Why searching for sophistication where it isnt needed and even allowed? I guess this bimbo wasnt realising that it is the balance between imaginary&ordinary what makes fantasy world work.

Even after selling Lord of the Rings the biggest series on the planet it still wasn't what he would call his finest work, he had so many ideas that never got published. J.K. Rowling got a lot of work cut out for her because of LotR as it was not unheard of for a fantasy book to sell more than The Bible by the time she grew in popularity.

I remember the thrill of when a new Harry Potter book was released: it was like Christmas. I remember being 13-14 yrs and not having the patience to wait for the translation, so I bought it in English as soon it was released and curled myself up in a chair with the book and a heavy dictionary for hours, meticulously looking up each word that I did not understand. It is strange how going back to the books now, I still get the same sort of feeling as I did about 10 years ago. It feels like a safe place.

wow!! but omg so true that it feels like a safe place. im sure a lot of people can relate. when my parents would fight i would burry myself in the books and escape into a magical world. it really was my safe place. i learned to stop caring and letting their anger affect me so much. i remember one time we were on vacation and in the hotel room, my parents were fighting. i had no where to go, no where to hide so i sat as far away from them as possible and read the 6th book which had recently been released. i remember reading the part where everyone is in the gryffindor common room and ginny has just won the quidditch match and harry gives ginny that shocking kiss in front of everyone. i was so shocked that i felt my face turn bright red. the book just makes you feel so much. the joy, the happiness, the friendship, the pain. i wonder what i wouldnt give to be able to be a part of the gryffindor common room and roam the hogwarts castle. it wouldve been nice if the movie had also portrayed harry and ginnys relationship in a better way, they were very awkward and totally missed the essence in the movies

Wish I could just go back to when only the first four books were released, and the first movie about to come out.... and wait so EAGERLY for the other books and films to be released... watch the trailers, be excited about the upcoming stories and how they would be represented in films.. I feel so GLAD and GRATEFUL for having lived all those moments and I'd give anything just to relive them...

But also an exception to this is Private Investigators, which people hire to dig into people's lives, WHICH again, I don't think it's right.

I was there in the audience as a child when she read Harry Potter in Toronto.

fabulous.

My parents were one of the religious nuts who actually kept me off school one day so that I couldn't participate in Harry Potter Day because they were against witchcraft. Therefore I never experienced the phenomena and convinced myself that I wasn't missing out. Until I got to high school- Year 11- and read the first book. And I have been a massive fan ever since. And I now realize why I like both the books and J K Rowling so much. In particular, I understand why I connected so easily to Hermione Granger, because I was that swotty, deeply insecure kid at school who always wanted to get the highest grades and considered a B as a failure. I also smiled and nodded my head when J K Rowling talked about her books being books for "obsessives", because that reminds me so much of the books I like; ones where there is so much detail and I know, as she says, everything about the world. I found the descriptions of Hogwarts set texts, quills and cauldrons deeply satisfying. I LOVED the description of the Hogwarts library. The genius of these books is their appeal to a sceptical teenager such as I was. The moral questions and deep emotionality that runs through Harry's life are what have rightfully earned J K Rowling the respect from children, adults and fellow authors alike today. Truly my favourite children's books and one of my favourites in general.

Needless to say I wasn't remotely interested in Harry Potter at the time.

you know when I think back to my childhood I don't have very many happy memories but i'll never forget when the first film came out. my primary school decided to take us all to see the film and as it so happens the trip landed on my birthday, I sat back as a newly turned 8 year old and was so marvelled by it all! it literally was love at first sight when it came to harry potter and as the years went by I grew and also watched the cast do the same.I watched every film every year without fail and my sentiment grew along with it. now the point of my little story is the small handful of good memories I do have as a child is that harry potter is the main one, the one I will always look back at so fondly and smile.:)

I think Harry Potter is an essential memory for anyone born between the year 1990 and 2001. I too remember the first time I went to go and see it. What had happened was my school had given out free copies of the first book--I didn't know what it was and I didn't care for reading, but the book was part of "reading log" and reading it was mandatory. I will never forget putting that book down and immediately begging my mom to take me to Barnes and Noble to get the second one (I didn't know about the third and fourth one being out as well). When the first movie came out, we went to go see it and I still remember seeing everyone from school there who had, coincidentally, read the book as well. We too were mesmerized by the film...And the whole phenomenon really took off when the second movie came out. All that mattered was "the next Harry Potter film". How I loved it dearly, and still do. WE ALL DO! If Time Travel suddenly became real, I would most definitely choose to leave my college academic career behind to relive the magic and the simplistic innocence of my childhood.

This is a fascinating documentary! Thank you for sharing it :)

Dani I’ve tried to get my younger brother hooked so he reads more. My older brother and I read them but my bro quit on book 4. I quit for a month on book 4 as well but returned to finish the series.

Harry Potter is just everything for me. Nothing is closer to my heart. Thanks J.K for this awesome journey I had while reading the books and watching these movies.

She is the living symbol to show, that you should never give up, even in the darkest times of your life

2000% katılıyorum. Anaokulundan beri Harry Potter okumaya başladım. Bazı kitapları 30 kere falan abartısız bitirdim. Sonra Cursed Child çıktı, metobolizmamdan çıkarabilmek için film serisini falan tekrara başladım. Tam bir uyduruk fan fiction, bir de hikayesi kanon demezler mi? Kadın uzun süre, insanlar istediği için değil, aklıma eserse yazacağım dedi. İlham bekliyordu. Tutmuş eserlerin hepsi böyle yazıldı. Zorladılar zorladılar en son o ucube ortaya çıktı. Fantastik Canavarları yine beğendim sayılır ama Cursed Child tam bir hilkat garibesi.

Can we not forget the master of melodies behind these classics... mr John William's!! :D

One of the first real dates me and my husband went on was to see Harry Potter. All these years later we are married now, and are watching all the movie together in order. I was 19 when the first movie came out, I watched it and immediately went home and borrowed my 6 year old sisters copy of the book. My entire family loves these book and movies, and it's been such a huge part of what has brought me joy in my life. If I ever met J.K Rowling I would shake her hand and thank her profoundly for the immeasurable joy her fiction has brought to both me and my family.

I can remember loving philosophers stone and being a huge fan of Harry Potter before the films arrived!.

Wow. If anyone deserves success, it's her

Bought the books for grandchildren as each one came out, did the queueing up at midnight with them which was such a thrill for them, have read them myself and love love love the audio books read by Stephen Fry - thank you JKR

i love her honesty and uncompromising writing ... much needed in film as well ... not serving up to your audience, but trusting your audience to follow your authenticity, to be reminded of their own authenticity through your works

It's amazing how with her idea she managed to write so much material. I just can't get over it

I love that Jo said that the books are for obsessives who love every little detail of the world. That is me all over. I'm still reading the books 20 years later.

At 17:29 Rowling looked so much like heromine writing in the window

What a brilliant person. Truly humble and very much down to earth. She never had the fame or money get to her. The emotion and effort truly shined in her books, it never wavered. I've never really known the person behind the books and I am glad I watched all the documentaries about her. I am also very much an aspiring writer that loves to write fantasy, and much like she was I am still struggling financially in life. But I am not saddened by the notion of being born in such a given situation. It has helped me realize how important it is to see life from a different perspective, the struggles of life itself, the hunt for your inner workings to manifest. What you truly want in life. I hope to write and keep writing, until with a bit of luck, publish my first novel. Like her series I agree that the current state of being that you were when you write, reflects heavily upon your work. My work is very dark, very grey, it's about death, supremacy, finding yourself, maternity, struggle of depression and fighting the evil from within yourself through an intricate storyline, of engraved messages within the complex characters and their choices within the book. Seven years ago, I never would have thought that I would be writing, day and night, stories of fascinating creatures, of intricate magical societies and their laws, the creation of vast worlds brimming with life. It is the collective inspiration and motivation that each and every writer shares and upholds the art that is writing, that allows us to dream the impossible feats, and soar the impassible obstacles. To explore the inner workings of our deepest wishes and desires, in this vast collective of brilliant minds of this era.

I am 100% sure she was talking about Dumbledore when she said she had written a death that was extremely difficulty to write because she has stated that same thing on other interviews but did reveal it was Dumbledore then. Plus it is no secret that Dumbledore is one of her favorite creations and shes really fond of him.

This is so cool. I loved seeing all of the notes she wrote about the books. She's such an incredible person.

So glad I've finally found a full version of this documentary! Finally!

Somehow I'm still discovering interviews and documentaries on her that I've never seen, and somehow I always learn something new about the series. I'm glad she wrote the stories with obsessives in mind, because she's definitely reached her target audience.

New milestone of 500,000 views! Thanks for all the support guys, keep spreading this great documentary :)

The fact that this documentary took place in 2001 makes me feel stupidly old... I'm 27.

I am glad Harry Potter was a part of my childhood!!♥️ J.K Rowling - such a LEGEND 🌙 gonna always have memories 😆 one of the best experiences everr 😇 J.K Rowling made 7 horxruxes and she will live forever 🙃🙂

Most inspiring thing I've watched in a while...❤️

The ending in book 7 huh.. When she had that envelope she already knew how the Snape plot was going to unfold.. I wonder if she knew How the now ULTRA famous, tear jerking single word "Always" was going to affect people. Snape's worst memory is probably one of my favorite chapters.

We will never see anything quite like Harry Potter again in our lives, the influence the books and movies had. We will never see it again.

This is very emotional. Her story is as good as the books...Her story it is also magical! Not the easy brizzy magic, but the magic of really believing in your self. Thank you!

I can NOT wait to read Harry Potter to my nephew! He is two and a half right now. Just a few more years!

My children will read Harry Potter, as well as Enid Blytons, Hardy Boys, and Nancy Drew. I owe A LOT to all of those books.

What JK Rowling’s says means nothing to me. It’s what she has written is the most important. The writing is so good can’t judge how important it is to the Literary world. The young cast of Harry Potter should thank their luck stars for her. They still be chasing that dream being part of most incredible series.

No matter how many times I hear her story, it never gets old. She's such an inspiration.

Seeing as I want to be a writer, this was so fascinating to watch, and gave me a big spark of inspiration. Thanks for sharing!

"It's a book for obsessives." Yup!

What a wonderful artist.

Hi! just a word to anyone who is concerned about the effects of "witchcraft and occultism" on their children. I was raised in a good Christian family, and I was raised with Harry Potter. Literally I was a year older than he was as the later books were published, and I began reading the first ones when I was about 13. From the Christian stand-point, I didn't even consider switching religions but rather I enjoyed looking at all the virtues that the books portrayed, maybe not the idea Rowling had in mind, but even to this day, I live and thrive on virtues like courage, honesty, perseverance. I feel that Harry Potter did shape out the best aspects of me. And on the deaths or suffering, if your concerned about that... I was never sheltered from those topics in media or anything, and it didn't have a negative outcome and it actually helped when I entered the healthcare field of work. BUUUUT if your still concerned about it, my sister (another Potter Fan) came up with the brilliant solution of letting her younger children just have the first book and movie until they are teenagers or their maturity deems fit they are ready. Raised with Harry, so will my children.

Watching this while I’m reading Order of the Phoenix makes me appreciate the books more. Also I when she’s teases Deathly Hollows at the end of this doc, I’m like, ey I have that on my finger tips, all those secrets on that folder, I could uncover it whenever I like it! Brilliant peace of work! Thank you Ms. Rowling!
