J.K. Rowling shuts down ex-fan who burned 'Harry Potter' books

K. Rowling just cast a spell on her angry ex-fans.

The famous British author fired back at some former fans who decided to burn her "Harry Potter" books once learning of her negative feelings towards Donald Trump.

"@jk_rowling just burned all my Harry Potter books after being a fan for 17 years. The Phils Stone was one of the first books I EVER read," one outraged Twitter user wrote. "I'm upset it has to be that way.. You embarrassed me, disgusted me, and I will never read your work again #ThankyouFor17Years"

Rowling wasted no time firing back at the disgruntled user, writing, "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."

would be a trumpist. I can see a fan voting for 'Rump but not being rabid about it. I think this is a troll, but good retort by Ms. Rowlings.
