Entertainment Weekly’s Entertainer of the Year: Daniel Radcliffe

by Keith Hawk · December 7, 2011

That’s right, Dan Radcliffe, who has captivated millions of fans around the world over the last decade as “The Boy Who Lived” in the Harry Potter film series, has won the coveted title of Entertainment Weekly’s Entertainer of the Year!

This year alone, Dan completed his role in the massive Potter series, and at the end of this month will have spent the entire year performing on Broadway as J. Pierrpont Finch in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. He has been involved in a number of charity events with the rest of the cast of the Broadway show, and has just been an all-around perfect gentleman. This honor is truly deserving for the young star!

On behalf of MuggleNet and the Harry Potter fans around the world…Congratulations Dan!

Be sure to pick up your copy of Entertainment Weekly’s Entertainer of the Year magazine due to hit stands Friday.
