J. K. Rowling: A Year in the Life (Runcie)

I neglected to mention in my list of ‘Best Rowling Interviews Ever’ James Runcie‘s 2007 BBC documentary, “J. K. Rowling: A Year in the Life.” As with the other profiles, it wasn’t easy to access outside a Special Features DVD of Half-Blood Prince for several years. It’s available now on YouTube and rewards careful attention (the haircuts!) and a critical review (the things glossed over or not discussed). We’ll almost certainly never see JKR, Inc., participate again in anything this revealing, however controlled and always flattering to her that the production is. Enjoy!
