From a single, broke mother writing in a café in Edinburgh to one of the richest women in Britain, JK Rowling’s rise to the top has been dizzying. With a fanatical following of cape-wearing, wand-wielding tweens, teens and young adults, Rowling’s character Harry Potter has become one of the biggest brand names of the 21st century. This programme provides up-close access to the astoundingly successful writer, and tells of her background and childhood, as well as her life after Potter.
