'Harry Potter' author J.K. Rowling eviscerates Serena Williams hater on Twitter
Tennis aficionado and Twitter user J.K. Rowling, author of the blockbuster "Harry Potter" series and one of the most powerful celebrities on Earth, has long been a fan of Serena Williams:
I'm #TeamSerena today, because you don't meet many super-talented people nicer than she is. Go @serenawilliams! pic.twitter.com/KHDYNCt6Ls

So it's only natural that she tweeted out her breathless admiration after Williams beat Garbine Muguruza to nab her sixth Wimbledon title:
#SerenaSlam! I love her. What an athlete, what a role model, what a woman!

Only, some stock penguin and Manchester United fan named "Rob" decided to rehash a bland, tired, unimaginative line about the 21-time Grand Slam title winner in response.
So Rowling, who apparently does not suffer fools gladly, sent the troll back to his cave with a quick flick of her social media wand faster than you could say protego horribilis.
.@diegtristan8 "she is built like a man". Yeah, my husband looks just like this in a dress. You're an idiot. pic.twitter.com/BCvT10MYkI

Take that, Muggle.
H/t FTW.
