Poppy Montgomery, an Australian actress, stars in the made-for-TV film Magic Beyond Words: The J.K. Rowling Story. The film details the journey of struggling single mother J. K. Rowling, her bid to become a published author, and her rise to fame following the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. It was shot in B.C. Canada locations that were altered to look like British locations. The film premiered on Lifetime on July 18th and was panned for being too dull (due, in part, to the author's fiercely private nature, who had no say in the production), but it also shed some light on her personal life, including scenes depicting her abusive first husband and her mother's death. J.K. Rowling is the world's first billionaire author (in terms of US dollars), and the films based on her books have been the highest grossing films of all time. Poppy Montgomery is said to have gotten blue contact lenses to play the famous author.
