About this movie

Growing up in working class England, Rowling struggled between dreams of wanting to be an author and the harsh reality of finding a career that would keep her out of poverty. Despite, constant obstacles, including her mother's early death and a destructive marriage, Rowling never gave up hope of achieving her dream. Instead she uses her past experiences - good and bad, as the inspiration that leads her to dream up the magical story of a young orphan on this way to wizard school. A story that would change the face of literature. Incredibly publisher after publisher passed on the book, leaving Rowling to squeak on meager life as a single mother on welfare. However with the help of one agent who believed in her talents, Rowling finally finds the success she long dreamed of reaching, leading her to become the household name that she is today.
