This documentary follows J.K. Rowling one year, from October 2006 to October 2007, while Rowling was completing the final novel in the Harry Potter cycle: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".
The film features access to Rowling's daily life with short yet deeply personal interviews about her childhood and writing of the HP cycle. James Runcie conducted the interviews and narrated the film, some additional commentary was provided by Elizabeth Vargas when the film was shown in the US.
While the documentary does features certain events in her life, this documentary isn't a biography; it merely shows what events took place in her life that effected her later writing. It also shows the glamorous side of being a bestseller author, for instance when Rowling attends the premiere of "HP and the order of the phoenix". The documentary switches between her youth and her daily life.
Overall, this documentary is for the HP fan and for someone who wants to know what's like to be J.K. Rowling and what happens in her daily life.
