In a poll by “Entertainment Weekly”, the people voted online and EW named the Harry Potter the “Most Entertaining Creation of the Decade”.
Harry Potter was created by J. K. Rowling in a seven novel series following the destiny of a boy wizard, Harry Potter. Harry beat out other pop culture contestants like HBO’s “The Sopranos”, ABC’s “Lost”, Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show”, film trilogy “The Lord of the Rings”, internet site “You Tube”, and even creations like the iPod for “Most Entertaining Creation of the Decade”.
EW had this to say about Harry:
“Harry Potter lives in our memories more vividly than any other character we’ve read or seen on screen this decade. It’s precisely because JK Rowling created him not as a mighty doer of epic deeds but as a regular kid, a teenager just trying to get by in a crazy, scary world. Who can’t relate to that?”
The Harry Potter film franchise is the highest grossing film series of all time taking in over $5.4 billion worldwide. The most recent installment of Harry’s adventures on film is “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” released in July of 2009. Warner Bros. is working on “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” adaptation into two films- Part 1 to premiere in fall of 2010 and Part 2 out in summer 2011. The Harry Potter series stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson.
A Harry Potter themed amusement park called, “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” is scheduled to open in spring 2010 at Universal Orlando Resort, Florida.
