[HPFGU-OTChatter] JKR interview - "Biography"

[Kathryn]

sounds similar to the BBC thing but some of those listed as interviews weren't in the bbc one. It's possible that the actual JKR interview is the same as the bbc one but with added extras from other people
I think ... but then I could be totally wrong

  Hi Everyone,

  I'm sending this out, mostly as a query for those in the UK who saw the
  BBC's interview with Rowling last month. I wasn't sure where to post
  this, because there might be a discussion (so can't post to
  Announcements), it's not about the movies (can't post to movies), and
  can't post to the regular list because it doesn't deal with the books
  (well it sort of does, but this is not a *book* discussion). Moderators?

  On with my post...

  Those in the US will be able to see Biography: "J.K. Rowling: Harry
  Potter & Me" on the 21st on January, and I'm wondering if this show is
  the same as the BBC documentary. There's also speculation that this show
  aired last year in January, but the tvguide (US) shows that it will
  first air in 2002.

  It looks like there will be clips of other interview of fans, including
  Daniel, Emma, and Rupert (from the movie). Does this sounds familiar? If
  not, perhaps we'll be able to see the other side of the page of
  wizarding powers for Harry and Draco and Ron, as discussed on the
  regular list.

  Thanks
  -Katze

  Here's the description:
  "Biography: J.K. Rowling: Harry Potter & Me offers viewers a unique
  insight into both the Harry Potter phenomenon and the life of the author
  J. K. Rowling. The program explores the influence in J. K. Rowling's
  life that link to the creation of Harry's story. For example some of
  Rowling's favorite books, such as The Little White Horse, and fictional
  characters, such as Jessica Mitford, have influenced her creation of
  Harry. One of Rowling's favorite fictional families, The Simpsons, also
  influenced her thinking. The program examines how the Harry Potter books
  have helped a generation of children to rediscover reading. Viewers get
  a peek at Rowling's creative process with notes and ideas scribbled on
  scraps of paper written in cafes and on airplanes - such things as names
  of Hogwarts Houses and ideas about Sirius Black's childhood. 

  Biography: J.K. Rowling: Harry Potter & Me also looks at the downside of
  the Harry Potter success: the banning of the books in some American
  states, an attempt by another author to claim ownership of Rowling's
  work, and the loss of Rowling's privacy. The program offers hints of
  what viewers might find in future Harry Potter books. In-depth
  interviews include literary agent Christopher Little; British publisher
  Barrie Cunningham; American publisher Arthur Levine; film director David
  Heyman; Harry Potter fan Matt Groening; Rowling's English teacher Miss
  Shepherd; the stars of the Harry Potter movie, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma
  Watson and Rupert Grint; and J. K. Rowling herself."
