Crowned the Queen of Twitter by TIME magazine, the author of the bestselling Harry Potter series and most-recently the screenplay Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, uses her tweets for everything from offering advice to fans, to quelling rumors about her work, to vanquishing trolls (of the non-magical, social media-breed), to getting political — all with that signature dash of J.K. Rowling sass that keeps readers and tweeters constantly coming back for more.

From taking aim at Donald Trump, to defending tennis champion Serena Williams, to taking a firm stance on both cake and tea, it’s definitely a challenge to identify the best J.K.
