The Scotsman has a preview of the J.K.Rowling documentary (A Year in the Life...JK Rowling) due to air on ITV1 later this year. The show documents a year of J.K.Rowling's life during which she finishes Deathly Hallows and the manuscript is whisked off to her agent. The programme is said to have "unprecedented" behind-the-scenes access with the author.

As an off-camera film-maker offers his congratulations, Rowling, 41, says: "Thank you...yeah, you don't know, it might be rubbish. Some people will loathe it, they will absolutely loathe it. For some people to love it, other people must loathe it. That's just in the nature of the plot."
She adds, "I'm actually really, really happy with it", before bowing her head on the keyboard to exclaim: "Oh my God!"

In the documentary, Rowling describes her works as "profoundly moral", adding: "I think it is a lie to pretend that even children of 11 don't have to make moral decisions. I think it's an outrageous black lie."
