J.K. Rowling

It might seem odd, but this year Entertainment Weekly's Entertainer of the Year is an not a movie star, TV idol or singer. It's author J.K. Rowling, creator of the hugely popular "Harry Potter" franchise. The publication of the seventh and final book in the series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows," in July set off reading marathons for readers around the world.
