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.

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.
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 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
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?
None of us are pure breeds, we all come from somewhere originally. ...Idiot!
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.
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.)
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.
I would love to see the faces of the people that send those dumb a*s remarks in,as they read her comeback!!! Priceless!!
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.
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 kept thinking "Nerd" was the username of someone who linked to J.K. Rowlings post. Imagine my confusion untill I realized someone had called her a nerd, as if it's a bad thing o.O
God damn, will these people stop with this dichotomous view of Liberals vs. Conservatives?
By Murdoch's loony thinking, all men must therefore be responsible for every rape
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.
Good lord (thats all i could come up with.) Seriously stop JRC its not real! Man people have too much time on their hands.
Because he's always been show to be a ridiculously compulsive liar. Like, you didn't NEED to say these things - nobody even ASKED you, but you decided to lie anyway?
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
