<title>J K Rowling named &quot;Entertainer of the Year&quot;</title>
<link>http://siriusblacks.co.uk/news/604</link>
<pubDate>Fri, 24 Feb 2012 07:53:00 GMT</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Entertainment Weekly has named J.K. Rowling their &ldquo;Entertainer of the Year&rdquo; for 2007 (cover here).The magazine says the reason they selected the Harry Potter author as their top entertainer was &ldquo;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 &rdquo;environments,&rdquo; 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.&rdquo;]]></description>
