Best Selling Author of the Decade

It’s hardly a surprise that Mrs Harry Potter aka JK Rowling, tops the list of best-selling authors. In fact, Rowling has written seven of this decade’s top 10 bestsellers, which boast a combined sales value of £215 million (R2.7 billion)!

It only took five years for the British author to go from living on welfare to being a self-made multi-millionaire – and many eloquent paupers have tried to follow in her broomstick’s slipstream.

In 1990, the idea of a young boy attending a school of wizardry “came fully formed” into her mind while on a delayed train trip from Manchester to London.  Add a comment

Best Movie of the Decade

3D movies with their inflated movie rates, coupled by inflation in general and the significant increase of movie tickets as a whole means that the “highest grossing movies of all time” usually end up as the more recent films of our time – not an accurate indication of best movie. With these considerations in place, Avatar, with its $2 billion profit, whipped the “highest-grossing” title away from Titanic, and, more recently, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  Add a comment
