JKR named one of '20 people who changed childhood' Child Magazine has announced their list of 20 People Who Changed Childhood. The list honors "innovators in the fields of education, entertainment, medicine, and more who forever altered what it means to be young in America." J.K. Rowling has been placed fifth and is credited with sparking a new interest in reading among kids. She appears with other names such as Walt Disney, The Beatles, Dr. Seuss, and Michael Jordan. The article has this to say about Ms. Rowling: Quote:

Wow! That's really cool! I loved it! J.K. Rowling is one of my idols, so I think she deserves it! |
That's amazing! And so right. I mean before Harry Potter a lot of people didn't even touched a book! |
Okay! I am sorry for all you Michael Jordan fans but I really don't think he needs to be above JK Rowling! I mean he was an influential person but to me, not more than JKR. |
I think JKR also taught many adults to find their inner child/spirit and to rediscover reading, to rediscover fantasy and to rediscover lazy days on the couch with the book as time passes by ever so quicly when you are so involved in your novel that it feels real to you. Thanks JKR for giving me a love for reading, AGAIN. |
Whoa!!! Thats so awesome!! Go Jo!!!!:woot: |
Me thinks she so deserves it! I mean...she did inspire me to write! |
That is just way too awesome!! :woot: Personally I think she deserves 1st place, but I'm glad she's on the list! There are certain "groups" that will say she shouldn't be on that list because of their "views." But even they have to admit, even if they don't like the books, it HAS gotten children interested in reading again. :yes: |
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She totally deserve it |
That's awesome! :D JK really deserves it (though I am surprised she didn't come up in 1st :P) |

JKR did change childhood. We didn't have Harry Potter before her. Now little kids all know who Harry Potter is, and they actually enjoy reading (well, they enjoy reading more). JKR is awesome |
She deserves every award she gets, and I'm sure there are more to come. |
That is so cool! Its good to know that people are recognising how much JKR and harry are changing peoples lives! I myself hadn't read a single book unlessed forced, however i am now a book worm, and constantly have mt head berried in a book of some sort! All of this is thanks to the great JK Rowling and here brillient mind!:D Nicola |

That's cool - and well deserved. After all JK's books changed a lot of lives. |
awsome! she really deserves it! |
Yep...she totally did change my childhood and God knows how many more she'll change!!! good for her!!!! ^_^ |
That's really cool. Congrats to J.K.! It really shows how much harry potter has changed her life. Plus she's in the top 5, so hooray! ^_^ |
That is awesome! I used to love to read, and after High School, I didn't pick up a book, until HP. Now I have read all so far at least 3 times each. And I'm currently re-reading OotP for the fourth and It still brings me to tears when S. Black dies. I love Harry Potter. Now I look for more books all the time to read. Great Job JK! |
i think she should of came in second...(and of corse disney first) i mean name ONE kid who dont know who/what harry potter is! and everyone knows micky mouse |
Congrats Jo, you deserve it and more :) I know your books changed my life! |
Cool! It's gr8 that she can impact lives like that |
Cool. You know, it's so true! I've met so many people who say that they never liked reading, then they started reading Harry Potter and they are in love with reading now. It's challenged people to try reading other books to. I am so happy! :woot: |
Congratulations J.K.!!! You certainly changed my childhood. You really deserve it! |
Thats Awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Wow! Awesome! Congrats, Jo! She definitely has made a big impact in not only the literature world. |
Good interview. Joanne really a great writer. And I think she is right. Dont give a point to a book if you dont kow what is in the content.^^ |
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
wow! she's amazing, |
I correct myself...she didn't only change my childhood...she changed my whole life!! I don't talk about anyhting else today!!! |
Wow, that's brilliant! Jo definitely deserves this! |
She's definitely up there in my list |
i think Jo should have came in 2nd or so... but still, that's amazing! |
I know that JK defiantly changed my childhood. It wouldn't be the same without those books. |
Psh my life has totally improved because of JK, that's for sure |
Whhhooooop! GO Her! |
Jo is such a great author how could anyone not like reading after one of her books? |
:loved: Great one JK!, honestly you also touched mine. |
That's frickin wicked!! I know she definately changed my childhood. :yes: |
That's cool! She def deserves it |
That so true! Go JK!! |
HUZAH!!!!! That is why we all love Harry Potter and JK. |
wow..... :scar: That is so cool!!! J.K Rowling has truely deserved it!!! Because of her, I don't know what my obsession would have ever been, and if it weren't for Harry Potter, I have no idea what me OR my best friend woud have turned out to be... for all I know we would have been vagabonds..... LOL. Anyways, congrats to Jo!!! :scar: |
She really deserves it, because she changed mine. I used to be made fun of when I was younger, I'd go home and read Harry Potter and it was my escape from everything that happened at school that day. She is a wonderful author and I will read her books to my children. I even read them to my six year old little brother. |
She deserves it after all the work she's done on the six Harry Potter books because it's hard work to have over 300 pages in every single book. Great accomplishment also. |
i completely agree with them...Jo has changed childhood....i know that she has changed me......Thanks Jo... |
Wow thats awesome! She really deserved it! |
