No edit summary
Line 15:
* [[Domestic Abuse]]: And for the first time in Lifetime history, the protagonist has an appropriate reaction and the police are not [[Police Are Useless|useless]].
* [[Eureka Moment]]: Many of these. The one which seems the most out there (Rowling instantly gets the entire idea for Harry Potter while on a stalled train) is the one which [[Reality Is Unrealistic|really happened]].
* [[Fake Brit]]: Poppy Montgomery (Australian) as Rowling. Additionally, most of the cast is Canadians playing Brits (the film is an American production, but was filmed in movie-friendly [[Stargate City|Vancouver]], [[Canada]] with local talent). Ironic that Rowling famously demanded this trope be averted in the ''Harry Potter'' films only for it to be played straight in her own (albeit unauthorized) biopic. On the plus side, [[Stargate Atlantis|Dr. Carson Beckett]] is Rowling's father.
* [[How We Got Here]]: The film is bookended by scenes of Rowling at the premiere of the first movie.
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Ah, the ''Phrase: The Person's Name Story'' title format Lifetime seems to love so much.
