JK Rowling named Entertainer of the Year by Entertainment Weekly

by Wendy on November 26th, 2007

jk-rowling-ew.pngI can’t think of a more deserving person, can you? Harry Potter author JK Rowling has been named Entertainer of the Year by EW:

The magazine said the “Harry Potter” author, who has sold nearly 400 million copies of her boy-wizard series that has been adapted into a megasuccessful movie franchise, deserved the award for getting “people to tote around her big, old-fashioned printed-on-paper books as if they were the hottest new entertainment devices on the planet.”

Don’t you just love that? She has singlehandedly turned a whole generation of kids into readers - kids who don’t just stop at the HP books, either, by the way. Well done, Jo!
