JKR profile on UK TV's Channel Five; 8pm, 26th Aug

[Neil Ward]

UK television station Channel 5 is screening a profile of JK Rowling at 8pm
BST tonight (26 Aug).  It's called "JK Rowling and The Harry Potter
Express".

Here's what Channel 5's press release has to say about it:

"At 8.00pm the documentary J. K. Rowling examines British author Joanne
Katharine Rowling, who has created a multi-million publishing sensation with
her Harry Potter books. Loved by children and adults alike, everyone knows
her name. In J. K. Rowling 5's cameras track the story of her life, from her
hometown of Bristol to Edinburgh, where as a destitute single mother she
spent day after day in cafes creating the world of Hogwarts magical boarding
school. We speak to fans and meet the inspiration behind the Potter family,
headmaster Dumbledore and the evil Snape and hear the story of how she
became the world-wide success she is today."

The channel has also just screened a children's version of the quiz show
"100%," in which three children answered 100 questions on Harry Potter.
They got some very easy questions wrong.  I'm disgusted!!

I've dropped the channel an e-mail, asking if we can have a transcript of
the JKR profile show... well, you never know.
