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.

One thing I love about her retorts is that she knows that in a lot of cases, it's useless to try and actually debate those people. 1. Logic will not likely convince them and 2. chances are, even if they were convinced, they would not admit it publicly. She's got better things to do, and the little time she spends on brilliant comebacks is entertaining and making people's days :D
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
Love your comment. I hate it when political views change the way fans/followers feel about their beloved authors, celebrities, athletes, etc.

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...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!!
That's an important thing: when you publicly stand up against something - ad the internet counts as publicly - it's not just the people you're responding to you can have an effect on. It's everyone else witnessing the debate. People look to people with a platform to shape their opinions - politicians, journalists, and any person famous enough to have public weight. Rowling standing against bigots is like Harry standing against Umbridge: it makes other people brave, too.
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
There really are a lot of idiots out there. How thoughtful of them to give Ms Rowling inspiration to amuse the rest of us.
This is not her. No possible way She's queerphobic, and actively harming trans youth. She has ignored porn tweeted at children over fanart. She spreads TERF ideaology and links to their shops directly. She's a horrible woman.
Oh for F*ck's sake Valentino. It's people like YOU who are spreading the ideology - GENDER Ideology. She's no "queerphobic" in any way, she's not "actively harming trans youth". She's not the horrible woman here, YOU are. Stay away from JK!
Load More Replies...just saw these comments. Funny, she says the perpetrator who killed a muslim is a terrorist. If someone killed Our President, she'd say he deserved it. Not my kind of person.
And if you said potatoes were evil the sun would melt into the sea and the world would stop spinning and we'd all be eaten by deer... See? Anyone can make ridiculous, speculative statements!
Load More Replies...if you dont agree with her then you're wrong and if you do agree with her then WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG....this will actually tempt me to read her works
#5 didnt destroy a troll... she just finally had no proper response lol... its true, shes f*****g loaded, and I dont see her paying for refugees.
"get political?" What does that even mean? So, authors can't have a political view? Or donate to causes they believe in?
