If you consider yourself to be best friends with Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley, it’s all thanks to the masterful words of J.K. Rowling. The legendary author behind the world of Harry Potter may have stopped writing her series about The Boy Who Lived (although she recently helped penned a play about your favorite Hogwarts alumni), but she does keep us entertained on Twitter.
Even when she’s not talking about our favorite gang of Gryffindors, she is as skilled with a keyboard as Professor McGonagall is with a wand. Even though haters keep trying to come for her and the characters she gifted the world, she’s been all too quick to shut it all down before you can say “Accio keyboard.” Truly, it’s a skill so good, you’d think it was actually magic.
We rounded up some of Rowling’s most epic Twitter comebacks of all time. Because if you have what it takes to write a character like Lord Voldemort, you certainly have what it takes to clap back to trolls on Twitter.
