Magic Beyond Words: The J.K. Rowling Story is a made-for-television film starring Australian actress Poppy Montgomery in the titular role. It tells the story of J.K. Rowling's struggle to become a published author, her ascent to stardom after Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was published. The film, which aired on Lifetime on July 18th, was criticized for being too lackluster (primarily due to the author's fiercely private refusal to participate in the production), but it also shed some light on her personal life, including scenes involving her abusive first husband and the death of her mother, both of whom were depicted. Rowling's eponymous character is the world's first billionaire author (in terms of US dollars), and the films based on her books have gone on to become the greatest grossing movies of all time. According to reports, Poppy Montgomery donned a pair of blue contact lenses in order to portray the very important novelist.
