The film follows Rowling from her childhood in [[The Seventies]] to the premiere of the [[Harry Potter (film)|first movie]] in 2001. It sticks fairly close to the known facts about her life, though with some dramatic embellishments here and there. |

* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: This is probably the most notable factual error in the film. While Rowling is blonde today, she was a redhead during the time period much of the film takes place. Nevertheless, the film portrays her as blonde throughout. Whether the filmmakers [[Did Not Do the Research]] or [[Viewers are Morons|thought she wouldn't be recognizable enough otherwise]] is unclear. |
