Everyone thinks they know the J.K. Rowling story. The broke single mom writing on a napkin in a cafe and then hit it big. That story is incomplete. This Zoom-In digs into what sparked Harry Potter, the secret pen name she tried to hide, and the leak that blew it wide open overnight. We've also got a disguise, a wedding, and an eight-year-old girl who talked a publisher into taking a chance nobody else would.
