User blog:Bchwood/Must Read JK Rowling Article

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has written an article for the Writer's Guild of America's Written By magazine in which she discusses in depth her extraordinary relationship with Steve Kloves, the Screenwriter for seven of the eight Potter films.

Appearing in the April/May 2011 edition of the magazine, the three page article, entitled When Steve met Jo, gives a fascinating glimpse into their collaborative process and history.

''It's been an intense relationship, forged by unusual circumstances. Steve has come closest to being inside the world with me - actually, he has been inside the world with me, but always a year or two behind. Nobody else has come close to that. The sheer length of the collaboration has made it unique.''

Giving us an unparalleled glimpse into this process of adapting the books to screen, the article, complete with J.K. Rowling's unique voice, begins with the conception of the relationship, and includes their correspondence over the years, as well as a fascinating example of the difference between a scene in the book versus that same scene in the screenplay.
