First part of raw footage from J.K. Rowling interview recorded on July 8th, 2000, for CNN 

Love this woman. Love her strength and clarity. Much derided, none of that deserved or sane.

I love it when you post an interview that I've never watched before. I wonder how many rare interviews there still are.

Please post more of her old interviews they're amazing

Happy to see this posted. She's such a Queen 🥰👑

Exactly. What is in the press doesn't make it truthful. I wonder how many other great geniuses out there but no one gave them a chance.

This was recorded the day I was born

Love this woman. A brilliant author and if anyone deserves to have success, it is this lady

I love her so much. What an inspiring woman.

Never saw this! Thank you!

good find. thanks.

8th July, 2000. That's the publication date of Goblet of Fire. So that's part of that infamous train tour they had her do to promote the book because it'd look 'magical' to have Jo travelling in 'the Hogwarts Express.' I think that's one good thing that came with the movies, she had to do much less promotion for books 5-7.

I don't remember this either, and it was recorded at a time when I was supposed, to be revising like crazy, ready for my GCSEs, but, because Secondary School was a pretty crap everyday experience for me mostly, I failed my GCSEs bar, music, English and German where I narrowly scraped passes in English and German, but got the c grade in music which I really wanted. I was head over heels in love with Harry Potter. People thought I was mental, but the books just keep drawing you back and back and back over and over again, you keep reading your best parts and also, your worst parts of them over and over again and you create your own scenarios in the wizarding world too, placing yourself anywhere you can in the series, even the Fantastic Beasts movies which were released years later. Being visually impaired and living on the dole with massive living costs right now, I'm worrying about money loads more than I have in the 11 years 2 months I've lived independently, even in supported living for just under 6 years. I would love, more than anything, to come into a huge sum of money so I can set up my own handbells choir, live the musical dream and charge £300 a time for when me and anybody who shares my love of music performs... just about anywhere in the UK, so we can make a very big noise literally, on the road, as a lot of people can be heard all over the United States.

Thank you 🙏

Its so nice to See these old Interviews, she’s so inspirational. Made my childhood magical with the HP saga ❤ 🧙‍♂️

💕💕💕 exceptional woman, exceptional talents .. Wouldn't happen for a three hundred years from now

The best author ever. Dear J.K. Rowling, if you are reading this comment: Thank you for enriching my childhood. I'm currently playing the first Harry Potter game for the PC again. Hogwarts will always be a part of me.

I happy, that live in one time with Rowling and King

Dear administrator, Please wish J.K.Rowling a Happy Birthday. Bestest wishes to the queen. May God bless her with more success, keep her in good health and all her wishes come true. Good day

Halo maddam, thankyou for responding.

I loved those old trains! Now we got the modern look trains that national rail is going for.

Remarkable brain.

She looks young and beautiful

2:40 i thought my headphones were acting up

She seems bossy like hermione lol

JK Rowling

She looks older here than she does now, surgery?

Not the TERF....

Surely this is a ridiculous, fascist writer who should pay for her statements. Honestly, he should be ostracized. I honestly threw your books away.
