JK Rowling’s awesome responses to Westboro Baptist Church’s anti-gay propaganda are as magical as her books
The author of the much-celebrated and highly popular Harry Potter series, JK Rowling, is much more than just a children’s book writer.
Those who follow her on Twitter can tell you that she’s pretty active on the social networking website.
Only last week, she was in the news for trolling Matthew Lewis for a certain cover photo of his she didn’t find all that amusing.
.@Mattdavelewis I will always support you whatever you want to do, Matthew. Now go put some clothes on.

She doesn’t just want you to read her books. She takes pride when her readers are in the news for the right reasons.
She is full of praise for people who have made a difference.

Every once in a while, she makes a fan’s wish come true.
On May 25, which is International Missing Children day, she was tweeting and retweeting all throughout the day to help those in need.
Please keep RTing details of missing people! Today is International Missing Children Day and we can help! @missingpeople #TheBigTweet

She’s been outspoken on many social issues.
When Ireland became the first country to legalize gay marriage, Rowling was beaming with pride.
Sitting here watching the Irish make history. Extraordinary and wonderful.

So when Westboro Baptist Church, an openly homophobic religious organization took a jibe at her stand on same-sex marriage, Rowling did not take it kindly.
.@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.

When someone expressed concern that her tweet might give WBC unwanted publicity, she gave an even better kick-ass response.
Well done, JK Rowling. You’re inspiring millions.
