| | |  J.K.Rowling: Entertainer of the Year
Entertainment Weekly magazine has named J.K.Rowling their Entertainer of the Year for 2007. As such, Jo features on the cover of their latest edition in which they explain why she was given the coveted spot. Quote:
"...because she did something very, very hard, and she did it very, very well, thus pleasing hundreds of millions of children and adults very, very much. In an era of videogame consoles, online multiplayer ''environments,'' and tinier-is-better mobisodes, minisodes, and webisodes, she got people to tote around her big, fat old-fashioned printed-on-paper books as if they were the hottest new entertainment devices on the planet."
Quote:
"Even when the incantations are flying (not to mention the people), she stays focused on the humanness of what she's writing about: the cost of pride and stubbornness and vanity, the toll of living in fear, the ache of loss, the search for home, the pain of holding a lifelong secret, the need to be loved, the quest to find out who you truly are."

Wooohoo! Go JK!

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

I think it was well deserved, i mean, she created a whole new world, a new craze. Nothing has ever really been this big and i don't think anything will be again for a while!

There is no doubt about it. She is the Entertainer of the Year...of the decade, really. I'm glad they recognized her as such. Congrats. Well deserved. Hopefully Time Magazine will recognize her as Person of the Year.
