JK Rowling may be a famous author, but she’s also totally relatable in so many ways. From her love for the recent Harry Potter reunion to the eye she’s keeping on President Trump, we’re totally picking up what she’s putting down… or rather, what she’s tweeting. And there’s really nothing better than JK going after the trolls who try to go after the wizard of words.
While some folks are not fans of JK’s outspoken beliefs, the author just keeps chasing the trolls right back under their bridges by responding with epic comebacks (and simple facts) to their critical tweets.
Well, the fumes from the DVDs might be toxic and I've still got your money, so by all means borrow my lighter. pic.twitter.com/kVoi8VGEoK

Guess it's true what they say: you can lead a girl to books about the rise and fall of an autocrat, but you still can't make her think. pic.twitter.com/oB7Aq6Xz8M

Unless they're sublimating their frustration in alt-right politics, I wish every one of them fulfilment and happiness ❤️ https://t.co/aXAWaD87Ds

Unless you're actually a hooded chihuahua, I'm pretty sure I win on the 'not hiding' front. I quite like 'old whore', though. #Shakespearean pic.twitter.com/0pIEVfrGn7

Just so you know, there are WAY more folks who are friends of JK than there are foes, and in any case, she’s not willing to pour water on the flames any time soon. In fact, she’s totally ready to feed the fire.
I'd just like to thank everyone sending me lovely messages, which greatly outnumber the bad ones 😘 I'm now off to produce more kindling…

If you’re wondering what JK thinks of the sitch overall, well…
