On 8 July 2000, JK Rowling was joined by ITN's Nicholas Glass as she boarded the Hogwarts Express on Patform 9 3/4 from King's Cross station. Marking the release of the fourth instalment of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Rowling told Glass about the process of writing the book, which was the largest in the series so far. She spoke about how attaining international fame and staggering wealth had changed her life. And she discussed the progress made in producing the first film adaptation of the series, and the difficulty of finding a person to play Harry Potter.

    If only she knew now how good of a Harry Potter she would find.

    Thanks for posting this. Its really nice to find videos like this before the films were made. In a pre harry Potter phenomenon era.

    Shes so strong about the whole process of becoming famous. You can tell in these interviews it makes her nervous all this attention

    Great woman, brought so much joy to my childhood. I reminisce of the days on the playground speculating what would happen in the next novel.

    good for her ... nice lady ..... films obviously brill ... but to take on the job of making the movies was brave .. they did an amazing job with the movies .... if they had messed up nobody would have worked on a movie again .... from the film script to casting to affects masterworks of cinema --- worked in movies 40 yrs not on HP but not since bladerunner and star wars had seen a fantasy type movie made so well ... and I think JK had a lot of input even to the point of not letting the studios take control of the further franchise ..... to make one good movie impressive to make the whole series quite incredible --- only comparison would be bond (and that has a few movies that could have not been made) ... and its over .finis ... but the magic will always be there ... lovely ...

    Essa mulher se tornou os proprios dementadores que ela mesma criou 😂😂😂😂😂 parecia inocente, mas é muito atrasada, uma prova que a criatividade utilizada só pelo dinheiro vai encontrar seu próprio colapso.
