Kids name JK 'person of the year'

Harry Potter author JK Rowling
Harry Potter writer JK Rowling has won yet another award, this time being named person of the year by a US news magazine for children.

JK beat cycling legend Lance Armstrong into second place, in an award voted for by the Time for Kids readers.

The magazine is a kids' version of a famous US news magazine called Time.

Third in the list were Heroes In The Time Of Need - a name given to ordinary people who offer help to those who need it after a crisis.

JK isn't the first Potter person to win the award, after actor Daniel Radcliffe took the title in 2002.
