J.K. Rowling took to Twitter on Tuesday to compare Donald Trump to Voldemort, adding to her long list of brilliant burns and stellar comebacks on the social media platform.
After the GOP presidential candidate called for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States,” the “Harry Potter” author tweeted, “How horrible, Voldemort was nowhere near as bad,” with a link to Trump’s statement.
The tweet was just one more example that Rowling is among the wittiest Twitter users with a blue checkmark next to their name. Want more where that came from?
