The Moment Harry Potter Was Born (1998)

Подробнее о видео

On 23 July 1998, acclaimed author JK Rowling described to ITN's Nick Glass the precise moment at which Harry Potter was born – in her mind, at least. Speaking in Nicolson's Café in Edinburgh about the enormous success of the Harry Potter series, Rowling described the moment as "the purest stroke of inspiration I've ever had in my life". Weeks before, the second of what was to be a seven-book series had been released, and Rowling was working on the third. Meanwhile, major production companies were jockeying for the rights to make the Harry Potter series into a film franchise. The rest is history.
