* SternTeacher: Mrs. Morgan and Mr. Nettleship, both of whom really existed and helped inspire Snape. In RealLife, John Nettleship found out that he was Snape when a reporter told him and, though initially horrified, he eventually embraced it. Incidentally, the real Nettleship taught chemistry, hence Snape teaching Potions, but the film portrays him teaching mathematics for some reason.

''Magic Beyond Words: The J. K.

It originally aired on the Lifetime Network on July 18, 2011.

* AdaptationDyeJob: This is probably the most notable factual error in the film. While Rowling is blonde today, she was a redhead during the time period much of the film takes place. Nevertheless, the film portrays her as blonde throughout. Whether the filmmakers didn't know better or [[ViewersAreMorons thought she wouldn't be recognizable enough otherwise]] is unclear.

* FakeBrit: 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 [[StargateCity 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, [[Series/StargateAtlantis Dr. Carson Beckett]] is Rowling's father.
