I know I’m a little late reporting this, but I thought it deserved some discussion:

J.K. Rowling has been named “Entertainer of the Year” by Entertainment Weekly.

The magazine said the “Harry Potter” author, who has sold nearly 400 million copies of her boy-wizard series that’s been adapted into a megasuccessful movie franchise, deserved props 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.”
