Critic Reviews for Magic Beyond Words: The J.K. Rowling Story

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (4)

The drama of Rowling's life, while powerful to her, seems fairly mild by TV biopic standards.

If you've ever been a single mom and couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel, this is the perfect movie for you.

Linda Stasi
New York Post
Superficial, unauthorized drama about writer's rise to fame.

Tracy Moore

Lifetime translated a potentially heartwarming and positive tale into something rife with clichs.

Dull beyond the power of even a mammoth opening weekend for the final Harry Potter film to render interesting.
