It's common knowledge that Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling has a magical way with words, but these internet trolls found out the hard way that her comebacks are just as enchanting.
The British novelist is often vocal about her political views, especially her support for the LGBTQ community and her disdain for Donald Trump. This has attracted some negative attention to her Twitter page, but she instantly summons brutal responses every time. After all, she knows a "load of cobblers" when she sees it.
Check out some of her wittiest take-downs below. You may want to use one the next time a mere muggle has something nasty to say.

Also, that "fan" is definitely not a real fan if he/she can say things like "burn your books." You don't deserve to read.
Load More Replies...Oh that JK, is so amazingly accurate, and I'm up there with you, GF!!
When some gay people stop looking so.........FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Load More Replies...To me Dumbledore is just a non-sexual person, like headmaster's should be. I don't wanna think aboutthe good man getting laid, no matter what sex(es) his partner(s) is/are!
Are you telling me the A gays don't have their bodies covered in glitter and sequin????? Wut?!?!
To be fair, I do spend a lot of my time getting dressed wondering how gay I look.
Just because someone has money, doesn't mean it can help massively right away. Nevertheless, Luke has clearly been asleep: It is known that J.K. Rowling lost her billionaire status, because she spent so much of it on charity. Still makes her a millionaire, of couse, but he's putting it like she hasn't done a thing. Something also gives me the feeling that he miiiight not help out as much with this dangerous boats situation, either. Also, she has sufferered immensely on a mentally base before getting to this point in her life, so she also has a fair share of experience when it comes to the cruelty of the world.
She now has money so she can't support a cause? Did this person even read HP? Harry and co. were all about standing up for the oppressed and fighting against evil darkness.
She's also the first person in history to fall off of the Forbes billionaire list for charitable donations. Yeah, real selfish woman there. At least he said millionaire.
having a sense for right & wrong is not necessarily related to wealth or poverty. There are good folk and idiots on both sides... in all walks of life for that matter.
Lol great comeback! However, I very much doubt she just sits and pretends to be the richest person in the world. SHE HAS BEEN VERY GENEROUS!!!
i love this! the classiest response she could possibly give. i was never a fan of the harry potter saga but i find myself really liking ms. rowling.
He called her c**t, the matching of c**t is? Penis! said in a less vulgar way.
Load More Replies...By labeling him a "Lone Wolf", the media's dismissing the crime as something conceived and cultivated in his mind alone, and is not reflective of a broader culture against Muslims, or influenced in any way by violent and/or hateful ideology. By not calling him a terrorist, they're protecting said broader culture from scrutiny and placing it squarely on the individual. If this were done on behalf of other terrorists of other races, Islamophobia wouldn't grow into the monster that it is. So, yes -- it's fair to call him a terrorist, inasmuch as it's fair to call any person who kills innocent people a terrorist, regardless of their motivation for doing so.
I feel like "lone wolf" is also a decidedly not-negative wording. Not even going to call him a "shooter" or "killer" or something like that?
Load More Replies...He looks like the kind of kid who calls time out right before he gets tagged
actually he is just a murderer. any cause for murder is misguided. even if it feels like justice.
And gollyyyy....he doesn't come from Iran or any other banned country.........
I've not seen that before. F***ssake! The Daily Mail should finally pick a name it deserves. I suggest Völkischer Beobachter.
nice message. did your mother write that for you?
Load More Replies...Yeah, I will not read those books.... Ugh Draco... what a pitiful boy. You can't really blame him, his parents being Deatheaters and all... It's bound to traumatise a child.
Never indulge in a "grammar-off" with a world renowned Brit Novelist, ya big lummox!
Aunt Josephine from the Series of Unfotunate Events? xD tumblr_ojr...5c-png.jpg
I am curious do Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy every bury the hatchets someplace besides each others backs?
This post made my day, if you're going to be a douche-bag to a grammar Nazi, at least make sure your spelling and grammar is correct xD
I may not agree with her political views, but NO ONE will f**k with her or her followers! She gifted me the best teenage years with Harry Potter!!! STFU
Love your comment. I hate it when political views change the way fans/followers feel about their beloved authors, celebrities, athletes, etc.
Load More Replies...Yeah - too bad we ended up w/Trump - but Hellary would have been exponentially worse. In Brazil she told the rich parasites (Not Rowling - she's helped a lot and gives tons of money to causes she believes in, but the zionist bankers, CEOs etc that kill the world) that the corporations would run the country, and she would get rid of all US borders. In israel she told the govt that "when elected, israel would be her number one concern". Like to think the US would be first for the prez of the US. Grossly inompetent - her illegal server made her a felon, as did her destroying her iphones and laptops, and "intent" doesn't matter. You may not intend to fall down on the ice - but it happened. You may not have intended to get caught embezzling - the crime was committed. Same with that hellwhore. She murdered the ambassador and his detail in Benghazi because he was following the pedophilia link btwn the rich in DC and the muslim countries. She was involved.
can't we just be nice? I think you are an amazing author/film person I loved what you did with the books to movies the books I thought were slow but what you authorized for the movies were excellent I was sorry they ended, I can't wait to see the new movie!
I'm hiding behind a picture of a chihuahua too. His face is much cuter than mine.
BTW Phishcat trolling people wow you must have no life at all
Load More Replies...Uhmm what? Which word is curse word? The quoting of "old whore" or "chihuahua"?
Load More Replies...Maybe that is what we should do then. Insult him and complain about him. Between tweeting and coloring he won't have time to push the button.
I actually came up with the same idea a couple of weeks ago. The man is ridiculously easy to distract.
This. A million times this! Anyone who claims to be a HP fan but then thinks this way clearly missed the entire message. It makes me wonder what the hell they liked about the books then. Was it just all the surface stuff like the magic?
Can someone explain the book burning? Why??? I love Rowling!?
Load More Replies...Just because you do not agree with someone's beliefs and / or political views, does not mean that their works can not be enjoyable.
Agreed. I love the book Felidae by Akif Pirincci. Pirincci is a horrible homophobic Nazi prick, but the book is still really good (and gives no indication of such political leanings, might I add. Maybe it came onto him later in life?). So think about how I feel about this, as a bisexual transman, right-wingers who now hate Rowling!
Load More Replies...People took her political opinion to another personal level! Come on! That's too much! What she thinks of politics is her f*****g business! Doesn't make her any less talented & bloody amazing! Chill out!
Amazes me when people think everyone must think the same...
Load More Replies...It is disappointing to me to see that people who love/loved her books are throwing them away just because of her political views. Keep in mind that her opinions are just opinions, and no matter how left wing or right wing you are you can still enjoy her books.
Why do you even think that your opinion matters to anybody? Lol
Load More Replies...Exactly. Authors can't be expected to have their novels photographically memorised; not unless they actually HAVE a photographic memory. I'm an author of 1 children's book myself (not very well known, though), but I don't know each & every page, word-for-word & in the correct order. I mean; we're writers, not miracle-workers. LOL. 😅
Shame. That has to be horrible! She should get the audio books to refresh her memory. Stephen Fry does an excellent job of it!! :)
She said... "When I WORKED for Amnesty International", and what did he do? She didn't even go for it in her come-back reply. Seems to me she's done more than just "talking politics".
It's interesting how someone like "Mr. America" just spouts that out. It's giving me the feeling that HE thinks that he might have the higher ground when it comes to politics... Also, If he's trying to insult someone, he should've done at least some research: Harry Potter doesn't turn people into frogs.
Yeah, because once you write a fiction novel, you CAN'T talk about politics! This has never overlapped in history until now!
No one was ever turned into a frog, there was a pretty scary looking guy who tried to rid his world of people he found less deserving though... People like Hermione whose bloodline wasn't pure, she worked harder than anyone else in her year... Some slytherins probably thought if hard working mud bloods weren't in the school it would make them look better... Probably why they all rallied around the scary man but more than that they rallied for him because they were afraid... And it took the rising up and strength of the people against him, to come together as one and defeat him... No... I'm sure she doesn't know anything about politics... One boy was turned into a ferret... So that debunked the whole premise.... Btw, there have been dictators in the past that don't allow creativity such as Writing and acting... It's a kind of story telling you see.. It inspires people and causes normal people to realize their potential and brings people together to fight... Scares certain a*holes...
Mr America, you might try the same!! Who taught you how to put sentences together? Oh yes, no one!! In your vernacular..you suck a*s!!
What a stupid comment to say. "You're an author so don't be in politics", why don't you say the same thing to Trump? This a*****e is a freaking REAL ESTATE agent and wants to run the economy of a COUNTRY like a company. The bottom line isn't all a country can be judged on. Go JK for setting him in his place!
Hmm.. why don't people understand that political matters in one country can actually effect many others.
To be honest, I've never seen Harry turn a person into a frog; not in the movies & not in the books, either. Total fail on that post, LOL. 😂
Well since "No nothing" is a double negative that must mean that there must be something.
People really need to learn about the effect of double negatives...
Ahahaha. I almost empathise with Trump on this one. So many times I was taken for a Russian here in Korea. Even Russians approach me in Russian here. And everyone has some shallow darkened dim knowledge of Yugoslavia and communism, so they take it for granted it had some Soviet relations, while the truth is Tito was no friend of Stalin, so we were NEVER part of the Soviet union and I HAVE NO RELATIONS TO RUSSIA AT ALL! LITERALLY! Sorry, I had to. Don't take it too serious, it wasn't really a moan, it was my own weird sense of humour. Okay. I stop here. Over'n'out.
I thought you were Russian too, just cz you always comment positive things on Russian posts! :P

What the hell does this guy think Britain is? Does he think it's still like, a full-fledged monarchy where the Queen gives charity to the poor?
If the Queen gave us dimes we couldn't spend them. He does know about currency right?
what's happening to Rowling feels like sweet sweet retribution and vindication. Thank you for posting this and commemorating it!
"The Queen's dime". Hah. More like the taxpayer's dime. The British royal family are the world's most expensive welfare recipients.
She is my HERO! I think I need to sign for Twitter just because of her!
She’s right up there with Captain America and Spider-Man in my books!!! (They’re my favorite superhero’s due to their moral values.)
The problem is that Trump supporters are automatically labeled as bigots.
Donald Trump gets into a battle of wit, and runs out of ammunition!!!!!
None of us are pure breeds, we all come from somewhere originally. ...Idiot!
And at some point we even share the same grand grand grand... parents.
Load More Replies...The only pure breeds in America are the Native Americans.. the rest are just foreigns
even then, the Native Americans crossed the land bridge from Asia.
Load More Replies...This just makes me laugh at Americans who spout this kind of nonsense... they're ignorance or pride makes them forget they come from an entire nation built by immigrants
If Americans want a pure breed president that poops on command I have a republican pug for your consideration.
Well, at least we are all human? I think. I hope. Uhm...nevermind...
I believe that the term pure breed is typically used for dogs, not humans. Also, we all come from somewhere not America. Even if it was a super long time ago, everyone's family immigrated from somewhere
poikilo- is a prefix meaning variable. Like snakes, they're poikilothermic. Blood temp changes depending on the environment.
Load More Replies...And how do you she didn't mean what she wrote? Never did she mention that it meant cold blooded, others did.
Load More Replies...Imagine how over half of Americans feel right now. We're like the mom of the guy who committed mass murder on the 11 o'clock news trying to apologize.
Yet the other half of Americans are screaming for more guns and bullets in response to the mass murder. (I feel sorry for you)
Load More Replies...Just imagine Trump in place of Brexit, it's pretty close view wise.
Load More Replies...I kind of prefer J.K. Rowling's style to yours...
Load More Replies...I think the MALE orgasm would be more mysterious from an evolutionary standpoint, since the male portion of child-making so generally painless compared to, as Rowling mentions, childbirth. Regardless, giving orgasms to only half of the population of a species doesn't seem evolutionarily economic, since it would be generally easier for all of a species to have the genetic make-up for it than having to remove it for one sex.
I had to read the comment twice to understand they were against it... I mean, that idea seems awesome!
Voldemort as least was intelligent, an had dignity and a chilling kind of style. But I'm not sure if I'd rather have him as a president - probably not; he would do things too systematically. True evil.
LOL agreed!!! Voldemort can actually make good plans to make the world evil - which is truly not something I want
Load More Replies...I'm always offended when people compare trump and voldemore. Umbridge is a much more suitable comparison
Voldemort was at least pretty cool doing it. That's one of my issues with people calling Trump "evil" rather than just "an a*****e who got power", there are some fairly class-act evils. Personally, I'm crushing on one Dio Brando.
I think when it comes to movies, because they try to be more "realistic", they have this sort of "unwritten rule" of staying closer to the character descriptions, where in stage performances, appearance-related differences are generally not important, unless specific to the social situations around the character (i.e. If the play / musical concerns race relations, you don't want, say, the persecuted black American character played by a Chinese guy or something, lest the audience get very confused.)
There's also the fact that Hollywood writes for the majority. Everything is written for white people's approval or entertainment. Think of writing a story where all cultural insider jokes needed to be dumbed down for white people to understand. Kinda like having to explain a really funny joke to someone who just doesn't get it. Most movies are written for white audiences.
Load More Replies...It says hermione went pale or blushed repeatedly in multiple books. Im all for black Hermione but she should reread the books she wrote.
Um. Black individuals are absolutely able to have skin color changes. It all depends on the amount of melanin in their skin.
Load More Replies...Except the art she made of the characters clearly showed Hermione as white.
only issue i ever had with black Hermione is that we already had an actor of Emma Watsons skin colour portray her to great fame. Of course, there is magic in this world, im sure anyone can make them any colour they want to be if they like
What does Dumbledore's sexuality have to do with this totally different subject? You could say that it is weird that Hermione is two different races but I think that because The Cursed Child is a play it is pretty different and I think that Noma Dumezweni did a good job playing Hermione! :)
Load More Replies...Why doesn't he/she just type "your" and "you". It's already an introduction to a battle that's impossible for Rowling to lose.
he might not be able to write the correct version (your/you're)

Don't be, please, she's ignored porn tweeted at children and is a terf.

This is so true. For years I kept quiet because I didn't want to involve myself in a ridiculous political argument. I think a good portion of my countrymen felt that way. Now look where we are. It's going to be a long 4 years, and we're going to have to fight every second of it.
Yeah but what if they start their first period at hog warts? Who do they go to? The head of their house? Pomfrey? Their teacher? Think snape
Load More Replies...I'd sit on the can for an hour at a time if it would be DONE.
Load More Replies...Slytherin girls: Snape has Always pads if ya need them! After all this time? Always
I always imagined there was a spell that Mothers, or Aunts, or really any family member could help their daughter with. Something that completely negated all period issues - something like an IUD (no blood, no PMS, no cramps) that had no side effects, and could be magically lifted when the girl wanted to start trying for a child -- preferably after school and with a longterm partner
I can't tell if the person is FOR or AGAINST abortion, but I can tell that they didn't quite understand the point of the film Vera Drake.
I'm kind of confused by the relevance of this quote. I would've quoted the U.S. Constitution, since it was rather explicitly written by guys who mostly didn't care much for the Bible. Amendment 1 of the Constitution says this: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" which seems decidedly more on-point.
I think the point is that Pence sold his soul to be Trump's VP. As much as I dislike Pence, at least, according to this quote, he realized a Muslim ban was immoral.

I happen to be in the "Nerd" category and I feel very flattered that JKR would call herself one of us XD Thank GOD for her twitter account.
God damn, will these people stop with this dichotomous view of Liberals vs. Conservatives?
Alas, no. Some people thrive on hate and dissension.

If it's 'just words', let's see Trump's reaction if someone came up to his wife and said (using just words) "Melania, I would love to grab your p...y". No, it's not 'just' words.
Words are powerful. Whoever said "sticks and stones blah blah blah" can go screw themself.
Back in third grade when I told my dad about how I am getting bullied everyday and it makes me cry every night he kept saying that and honestly ever since then I've never really liked my dad.

Good lord (thats all i could come up with.) Seriously stop JRC its not real! Man people have too much time on their hands.
This person is operating on three false premises: 1. Witches are real. 2. The Bible is real. 3. Harry Potter is real and/or the Bible wants you to hate anything to do with fictional non-god magic.
Sorry, the second one should be "The Bible is true" or "Events in the Bible are real". I know IT is real as a book.

Yes. You can change your handle (the @"insertwhateverhere") on Twitter and Instagram to just about whatever you want.

Master Markus, your comments have been ON POINT this whole article. Let's be friends
Load More Replies...If you're ever at a loss for words in a heated argument, J.K. Rowling could certainly provide some inspiration. Her knack for clever retorts is something out of a wizarding tale.
But if you need even more enchanted phrases ready for when a muggle starts trouble, you'll find a treasure trove of witty replies to keep in your back pocket.
When my granddaughter was about 3 and a half she saw a bit of one of the Harry Potter movies on TV and when she saw the Dark Lord she brightened and said, "Ooooh. I know him. He's Lord Walmart". Scary
There really are a lot of idiots out there. How thoughtful of them to give Ms Rowling inspiration to amuse the rest of us.
