Oh, the 90's! I remember seeing the cover of the Sorcerer's Stone at my local Wal-Mart in Newton, Iowa. The cover art grabbed my attention, like, magic, actually.
Thanks for sharing this. Its certainly astonishing how already successful the books were, even before the movies came out. Always nice to see vintage footage like this before the movies came out :)
@@jennigirl8275 I don't think the character was in the book, I think she's only present in expanded media Rowling has provided. The three children are called Victorie, Dominique and Louis.
I like that she said she wrote the book with ut any expectations. Everyone has a desire for their work to be heard. Well her Book got heard all over the world.
I think I must have been the only kid in 1999 whose parents bought them the audiobook version along with the hardbacks because I've always known how to pronounce Hermione's name. I was shocked to hear people butcher her name as I got older. Even more so when I learned people actually approached JK Rowling saying the name wrong.
I remember in 2002, i was 10yrs old, telling my friend if he wanted to watch the movie with me and he said no because his very religious parents didn't allow him to. He eventually came out as gay (nothing wrong with that ofcourse). After that at the age of 10 I started thinking that maybe religion was the one poisoning the minds of children. I still did my catholic sacraments and will have my kids donthat as well but with caution. I will make sure religion does not poison their minds.
American interviewers be like "your product makes a ton of money, why is that? Doesn't it feel great to have all this success and all that money now? What enabled you to produce this product that makes a lot of money? How can i (me, myself, the most important person) make a lot of money the way you did?"
In general, I hate when people treat children the way the hosts treated these kids. Overall, JK Rowling answered their questions very straightforward and addressed them with respect. But the other hosts belittled them so much and it was just annoying.
10:40 Didn't Osmond, literally 2 minutes before, say he was reading the 3rd book last night and "couldn't put it down?" The insincerity on these kinds of shows is off the scale.
Okay, they are both pretty condescending to Jo and I am only 5 minutes in. She handles it with total charm and ease but yo Donnie and Marie can back tf off
I think you're looking at it from a modern perspective. You have to realize at the time she was famous but not anywhere near as famous as she is today. I think they were both very kind.
She was starting to be known. You look at it as her being the super star she is now. In 1999 she was starting to boom. The attitude and questions went along according to the time and fame level. And JK set the mood herself from the beginning. Learn how to read the audience and time.
Given how intensely religious these two are and that their religion is a bit odd. I'm surprised that they would even have JK Rowling on here and give her the respect she deserves.
Typical show biz. I thought the same thing. He was contradicting himself. But I think Jo really enjoyed the time with the children. Not in a Donnie way.
Who ARE these two horrible interviewers? Anyway, JK Rowling doesn’t bristle, just gives good, interesting answers to their questions. She is, among all her other talents, a great role model for interviewees!
That guy is SO aggressive! And the women is 50% as bad! "VOLUME THREE!!" JFC, I feel like he's about to jump out of a BoFlex Commercial. It's no wonder I don't know who tf these two clowns are.
"Just so all of you know, *she* is going to be giving all of you a signed book." Wtf is "she"? You mean, JK Rowling, the best author of our generation?
JK published the first Harry Potter in 1997 when she was 32. We still got time folks. (I’m 27)
Nice message!👍👍👍👍
@El_Diablo_12
No! She was 31. ALMOST 32, dumbass!
lol but she was writing it for 5-7 years 😂😢😅
@@LilyEvans1996that part! lol i’m hopeless 😩
perfect timing, go on 😂

10:49 all those kids that got a signed book are lucky!! Hopefully it’s still in great shape because that is a priceless gift
I am re reading my childhood copies, they are in Dutch, and order of the phoenix has a chunk of ~100 pages fell out haha
She is very inspiring and visionary.

Harry Potter arrived to my life in 2001 at the age of 9 when I got to the US and never looked bac !!! ❤❤
90’s best era
*5 years to write 1 book
Yabaaaa* 😮
And it feeeels so gooood 😎
rowling is just so freaking cute she always kept her child side and thats good.
Well JK did end up naming one of the characters Dominique. What are the odds lol.
When
@jennigirl8275 The second daughter and middle child of Bill Weasley, Ron’s oldest brother, and Fleur Delacour is Dominique Weasley.
I love that she actually did end up naming a character Dominique.
Which one ?
@@urigeheadmot1196 The daughter of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour, she's their second child.
@@benprice9917 Thank you!
@@benprice9917 Where? I never saw it in the last book

“When someone pronounces a word incorrectly, do not laugh at them or consider them foolish. They probably learned it from a book.”
@@nforne I love that. What is the quote from?
@@estherhinds6314 It’s an anonymous quote as far as I can tell. Wish I’d heard it when I was young.
She is so nice and friendly for a british person, i don't understand why so many people hate her.
FOR a british person? I thought being friendly would even be a british cliche😂😂
@Sahnequeen Nah in reality British people can be very grumpy and pessimistic
Because she speaks her mind and doesn't conform to group think
6:30 "Yeah, can I finish a sentence at some point?"
It's insane that people were calling for Harry Potter to be banned due to "witchcraft", knowing what material kids are being taught nowadays!
Right?
ironic af!

3:24 jesus christ, what terrible interviewing etiquette. she literally just talks over her lol
I tell her to shut up every time I hear her going on about Nutrisystem. She still fat! Mind you, nutrisystem worked for me. Once.
thought the same...

It's children treating on children. Donnie and Marie are children.
agree
@@garland3688😂 what a retarded comment
those kids are so lucky

In fairness, I will often start reading books and completely forget what the title is. This happens a lot with Agatha Christie novels.
He also wondered who Ron was.
that’s so disappointing and i got second hand embarrassment 🧐 the interview was still cute tho
"do you think women have vaginas?" "well, yeah, obviously, how could that be controversial?"
Love her
Jack London used to plot his books to the end before writing
4:52 And the Love Potion was born lol 😂

Beauty, brains, scottish woman's pettiness😍
She’s only 1/4 Scottish from 1 of her grandparents and 3/4 English.
9:13 - "I like unusual names. You'd better be careful if you've got an unusual name, you'll turn up in book 6."
"What is your name?"
"Horace Slughorn"
“Dedalus Diggle”
“Fenrir greyback”
I think she might have a future in writing. You heard it here first!
“All I ever wanted to do was be a writer”
❤️🖍️
Donny and Marie, don’t let JK finish a sentence before asking the next question very rude.
Harry Potter and the Prince of Oz
Given how intensely religious these two are and that their religion is a bit odd. I'm surprised that they would even have JK Rowling on here and give her the respect she deserves.
First Donny didn't know who Ron was. No prob. Then he couldn't put down book one last night. ok. Then he couldn't wait to finish book 3.
Then he didn’t even know the title of the book in the end 🙄 so fake
Typical show biz. I thought the same thing. He was contradicting himself.
But I think Jo really enjoyed the time with the children. Not in a Donnie way.
Joe or Jo?
Jo
Little did she know
American hosts. Let her speak lol
Steven Spielberg would have been a good director.

Both interviewers are annoying but the guy is unbearable.

She spoils that Hagrid is part-giant here lol.
Hermyohnee 😂
Jk Rowling I believe I think Garry done from Daniel
Donny is soooooo fake.
"Just so all of you know, *she* is going to be giving all of you a signed book." Wtf is "she"? You mean, JK Rowling, the best author of our generation?
Okay, calm down lol There's nothing remotely offensive about that.
What’s wrong with being a she . She is a she.

Nice A.I. generated video.. lol God help those who are unaware. This looks like a 1999 video made in 2024.
