J.K. Rowling is not only a hugely successful author, but she also has a fabulous sense of humour, particularly useful for obliterating trolls on Twitter.
The Harry Potter novelist has recently faced a lot of criticism (mostly from Trump supporters) about her attempts to inspire people into action against the US president’s harsh executive orders.
It has been hilarious to watch on the Internet, so here are 9 hilarious times J.K. Rowling roasted trolls on Twitter…

3. The time she turned an ‘old whore’ insult on its head
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

4. The time she owned Vice President Mike Pence for being a sell-out
'For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?'

9. The time she ROASTED this ex-Harry Potter fan and Trump supporter
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
