BBC is reportedly making a documentary about how JK Rowling became a ‘polarising public figure’ – without her involvement.
The Harry Potter author, 61, has inspired the new two-part series which uses her life ‘as a lens through which to explore three decades of profound social, political and technological change’.
Both hour-long episodes will draw on ‘rare archive’ material and ‘Rowling’s own words’ – alongside interviews conducted with people she has worked with in the past.
Simon Young, head of commissioning for the BBC History, said: ‘Thirty years after the publication of the first Harry Potter book, there feels like no better time for the BBC to explore one of the towering figures of British literature.
‘No cultural history of Britain in the 21st century would be complete without the story of the boy wizard that J.K. Rowling created, the publishing and film-making phenomenon that she spawned, or the polarising public figure she has become.’
However, when approached by the Daily Mail, a representative for Rowling said the author was not involved in the documentary
documentary series, produced by Rogan Scotland, will chart Rowling’s path from a ‘bookish childhood and time spent writing in Edinburgh cafés’ to her ‘unprecedented literary success’.
Episode two will then follow Rowling as she ‘steps out from behind her creation’ and becomes an ‘increasingly powerful political voice’.
BBC adds: ‘Amid the rise of social media and intensifying culture wars, her interventions on Scottish independence, feminism, free speech and gender identity place her at the centre of increasingly bitter online exchanges.’
A spokesman for the corporation confirmed Rowling is ‘aware of the project’ but has not contributed.
Rowling is now a vocal commentator on X – where she frequently expresses her gender critical views and butts heads with transgender rights activists.
She first voiced her views six years ago when she mocked the term ‘people who menstruate’ when used in place of ‘women’.
The controversy came to a head last September when she addressed the ensuing fallout with Harry Potter film actors Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.
Rowling said at the time: ‘Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right – nay, obligation – to critique me and my views in public
‘Like other people who’ve never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life, she’s ignorant of how ignorant she is.’
Hit piece for sure from the scummy BBC.
Ain’t going to be some great eulogy.
They could have a documentary anytime in the last 20 years.
Burnham, as we all know, has made an allegation that Russia interfered with the Brexit vote. The obvious counter arguments that I can’t say I was aware of any Russian interference and Obama, Carney etc had plenty to say.
However there are very serious consequences to Burnham’s spoutings. Once again Britain hits the red lights, potential trade partners and businesses will have no idea what will come next, Countries would like to make a trade deal with Britain but will it be honoured for any length of time? Businesses both in Britain and elsewhere and foreign investors can’t plan.
Burnham has engineered a disaster which may well play into the Remoaner assertion that Brexit has been damaging. to Britain.
