J.K. Rowling, the esteemed author of the Harry Potter series, celebrates turning 52-years-old today.
When writing the global bestsellers Rowling gave the boy wizard the exact same birthday as her.

Potter fans around the world will be celebrating the birth of their hero and his creator today, but to some people J.K. Rowling is as prodiguously talented at trolling Donald Trump.
The British writer has had an ongoing grudge with the current US President for quite sometime now.
Way back in December 2015 she compared Trump to Lord Voldemort.
Actually, she said he was worse than he who shall not be named.
How horrible. Voldemort was nowhere near as bad. https://t.co/hFO0XmOpPH

In fact she's not even sure he would get into Slytherin.

She also called him out on his now-infamous leak of tapes in which he brags about sexually assaulting women, before last years' Presidential Election.
Trump says 'just words, folks.' It's his accusation and his defence. Words don't matter. Facts don't matter. If they don't, we're all lost.

The men rushing to tell us all that they talk about women exactly the way @realDonaldTrump did in his tape seem to think they're helping.

Rowling wasn't very complimentary of his debating skills either.
'I've developed so many friends.'
— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) October 20, 2016
Humans 'make' friends, Donald. They 'make' them.#debate

His spelling skills were also taken to task. We wouldn't expect anything less from a writer.

Rowling had a slightly more sarcastic take on things when POTUS found the caps lock button.
Must be telling the truth. He used caps. https://t.co/KtLD1x7nwQ

She has made it her mission to protect us from Trump and his intentions.

When Trump tried to shame to TV hosts she quoted Abraham Lincoln.

She's also mocked his comically small hands.
Those teeny little fingers are within twitching distance of the nuclear codes. We're all in it, up to our necks. https://t.co/9xWbSKKXRl

It's not just Trump on the receiving end, his ardent followers have also been dealt their fair share of sass.
Truly, whom amongst us can forget Trump ordering the killing of bin Laden? Or Obama bragging about barging in on naked beauty contestants? pic.twitter.com/1veorstvA0

She has a great plan to protest his proposed visit to the UK.
Rather than crafting placards, I think we should enlarge Trump's London tweets so they're on camera everywhere he goes to 'show support.' https://t.co/BvpdfBzSiA

I'd rather he didn't come, but if he does, I'd like his vile Tweets juxtaposed against whatever he's been coaxed to read off an autocue. https://t.co/mZvAWZ21BM

There was also the time that she and fellow writer Stephen King, compared him to characters from their books.
.@StephenKing On a sliding scale of Annie Wilkes to Cujo, what level of delusion do you reckon we're at today? pic.twitter.com/vmPwdS47Ks
— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) June 15, 2017
Well, I'm not the Donald's #1 fan, so that lets out Annie Wilkes. I think he's got more of a Dementor vibe.

Unfortunately for her not all of Rowling's criticisms of Trump go according to plan.
A few days ago she accused the President of ignoring a little boy in a wheelchair who was in the background of a speech that he gave at the White House.
Trump imitated a disabled reporter. Now he pretends not to see a child in a wheelchair, as though frightened he might catch his condition.
— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) July 28, 2017
How stunning, and how horrible, that Trump cannot bring himself to shake the hand of a small boy who only wanted to touch the President. /4x
— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) July 28, 2017
Her claims were quickly discredited on Facebook by a woman claiming to be the boy's mother.
.@jk_rowling even the child's mother has pleaded with you to retract your ugly lies. But you be you.. pic.twitter.com/VcNYu2t0w9

Footage of the alleged incident can be found below.
Again: Trump gave that child more personal attention than anybody else standing there behind the podium. pic.twitter.com/6MYvOSHYQW
