When you’re confident, you’re happy, and you’ve written a series of books that will live into eternity, there’s not much to lose – and not much random people can say on the internet that can bring you down.
For her part, J.K. Rowling has been out of f*cks to give for quite a while, and her responses to these 28 tweets proves my point.
28. Perfection.
Canon: brown eyes, frizzy hair and very clever. White skin was never specified. Rowling loves black Hermione 😘 https://t.co/5fKX4InjTH

26. Oh, man.
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

22. A mantle worn with pride.
I've been called bitch, 'libtard' and plenty more tonight. Quite proud really; who'd want these people's approval? #DegenerateArmy https://t.co/f1i73HrrnG

21. Is pasty bad?
In fairness, I *am* pasty.
Not going to shut up, though. pic.twitter.com/wqehsnXzPp

20. That’s quite a mental picture.
Some us know. It's like being related to the wedding guest who threw up on the cake. We're truly sorry. https://t.co/QoZDyyyW5l

19. Savage.
.@WBCsigns Alas, the sheer awesomeness of such a union in such a place would blow your tiny bigoted minds out of your thick sloping skulls.

18. What a deal!
Actually, we're thinking of selling them in pairs in future; a 'read one, burn one' deal for those who like the magic, but not the morals. https://t.co/EPsXoDodr7

17. Rookie mistake.
@ChrisDarroch2 and you can't spell "Slytherin".

16. “Anonymous hate frogs.” HAHAHA.
I stand chastened. What the world needs now is more anonymous hate frogs. Dazzle us with your insights and empathy, do. pic.twitter.com/z3OLTi9JdC

15. The sarcasm is strong.
So this is what it feels like when your life suddenly loses all meaning. pic.twitter.com/LLzhw7CACg

14. Never going to happen.
Sweetest thing I've ever received from a Trump supporter. I can't and won't ever appreciate a man like him, but you're rather lovely. pic.twitter.com/o7YnHwW3pV

13. When even Voldemort doesn’t want to be associated with you.
How horrible. Voldemort was nowhere near as bad. https://t.co/hFO0XmOpPH

12. Quite possibly.
Possibly the same guy. Similar vibe. pic.twitter.com/OyUUm4fbrH

11. Standard author nightmare.
@amymeowz I had a waking nightmare where I met a Harry Potter fan who quizzed me on a sub-plot & I couldn't remember what I'd written

9. *spitake*
Yes, the prospect of pushing an 8 pound object out of your vagina should be more than enough incentive for sex. https://t.co/UoEtPH3lRh

8. There it is.
.@anakocovic21 Maybe because gay people just look like… people?

5. She’s got an answer for everything.
.@McPottah Ah, the question I've been waiting for all my life. The answer, of course, is no. I am poikilothermic.

4. Very reliable.
This JK Radcliffe is a reliable source. You should speak to him/her more often. 😂 pic.twitter.com/y4PKX4nXdJ

3. I mean that’s helpful.
.@sjosiah0 The Internet doesn’t just offer opportunities for misogynistic abuse, you know. Penis enlargers can also be bought discreetly.
