JK and Reels of Inanity

If you're suffering from Harry Potter withdrawal symptoms following the end of the film series, you might just want to seek out a glorious absurdity called Magic Beyond Words: The JK Rowling Story.

Premiered on American TV last summer and just shown here on C5, it purports to show how the lovely Joanne, played by Aussie actress Poppy Montgomery (below) of Without a Trace fame, graduated from being a single mother on benefit to one of the richest women in the world.

There are a few establishing shots of key locations like Edinburgh, London and New York, but in the main the film was shot in Vancouver with predominantly Canadian actors desperately trying not to trip over their vowels as various key people in JK's life.

As one critic noted: you'd learn more about the author on Wikipedia.
