The Amount Of Ownage JK Rowling Dished Out On Twitter Is Enough To Make Voldemort Cry
By Jacob Geers
If JK Rowling is known for one thing, it is writing the Harry Potter series.
If JK Rowling is known for two things, it is writing the Harry Potter series and absolutely owning trolls and clowns on social media.
Last weekend she did it again.
Twitter trolls were trying to flame JK Rowling because of her political beliefs. Rowling lives in Scotland, considers herself a proud Scot, but supports staying apart of the United Kingdom and opposes the ultra-nationalistic “Scottish Nationalist Party”.
Trolls tried to tell her that those beliefs made her a fraud of a Scotsman.
It begins with:
JK says she's Scottish but donates money to #bettertogether so she can remain British. Is that called a hypocrite? https://t.co/QFabqMuuke

But, oh snap!
No, Craig, it's called 'disagreeing with you'. https://t.co/iD6VbyERy1

Then someone aims tries for a low blow, but trips and falls on their butt!

When asked how she’s coping with all the trolls,
.@saibhandari I shall try and pull together the fragments of my shattered existence. I ask for privacy at this difficult time. *sobs*

All while pointing out people’s utter lack of sense
.@pinesbloke I'm sure you wouldn't make a bold statement like that without having many examples to back it up! pic.twitter.com/WZA3hLSrgb

And apparently housing the entire popular of Scotland under her stairs!
Good God, I haven't got the energy to feel victimised! It's hard work keeping an entire nation under my stairs. pic.twitter.com/1txv8suiI1

Want some ice for that burn?? LOL jk you get no ice, troll.
The only people who should be feeling victimised by you are the decent ones whose politics you claim to share. pic.twitter.com/Vv5y7U6FNj

Then she sums up all internet trolls in one eloquent tweet
.@elenitauk No, I don't feel bullied. In the looking-glass world of Twitter, vitriol is so often the tribute inadequacy pays to articulacy.

Thanks everyone for their love,
Being sent so much love and support right now that I would like to take a break from sticking my wand up trolls' noses to say thank you! xxx

And apparates out of the internet!
And on that note, I'm stepping back into the real world! To everyone who has sent me so many wonderful messages tonight: you're the BEST X
