#1 Voldemort enjoyed breaking and killing those he considered beneath him.

Trump is just an asshole.

Big difference.

#2 Of course he is. Voldermort is a FICTIONAL character who can't really hurt anyone.

You'd think an author would know the difference.

#3 “Mr Trump, like others, is feeding hatred and misinformation. Our only enemy is radical Islam.”

Mainstream Islam i.e. the OIC's political consensus is a version of radical Islam.

There are Muslims who don't support the method called 'terrorism' but who still favor the imposition of a totalitarian theocratic caliphate on the world. These Muslims aren't moderates.

#4 JK Rowling is nowhere near as bad at writing fiction as she is at understanding politics.

#5 4 out of 5 British wanted Barack Obama to be President and many contributed illegally to his campaign fund. So much for their political common sense unless their goal is to tear down the USA.

#6 Shall we ask Trump for advice on writing fiction books?

#7 Stick with writing fiction for kids.

#8 She's made enough money in her world of fantasy to live in it. We have to live in our world of reality and will deal with it.

#9 If Trump had made his comment about evangelical Christians she would not have been bothered one bit.

#10 Ask the average Swede, Norwegian, Dane, Brit, Bavarian, or Frenchman who they would prohibit from coming into their countries.

#11 Voldemort directly killed his enemies and attempted to enslave the muggles. Trump wants to close the door on people that want to kill their enemies and enslave the non-Muslims.

I think she needs to re-read her books again.

#12 So J.K. Rowling's solution to the problem is what ?

#13 Let the hounds bark Trump's wagon is moving on.

#14 JK needs to stick to her fairy tales, or tweet about her own dull life.

#15 Why would this be any more relevant than what Sean Penn thinks about Trump?

#16 Nothing is worse than Book 7. Nuff said.

#17 Look Missy, I would not take this sh*t from Terry Pratchett---who's worth a million like you.

#18 To Potterasts, nothing's as tragic
As life when it's lived without magic!
The normal brain boggles
At what I'll call "loggles,"
The nutters that live without logic.

#19 Ok. I think I may have figured out what Trump is up to. The Left is freaking out and calling for his head. That leaves conservatives in a bad position. We don't like Trump, but at the same time we can't let the media claim a scalp. The net of this is to keep Trump in the race -- just as his position in the polls was inexorably eroding.

Well played, a**hole.

#20 But not as bad as Jason Alexander as Rovemort.

#21 The media and political elites are totally outmatched and outclassed with Trump. Ted Cruz is the only one who can see this. He is playing them as no other has done before. This will only get better. He is drawing in people from every walk of life in this country. One way or another they will try to take him out. As with Venezuela the left and right refuse to relinquish power.

To be fair, if he said it NOW, I'd listen.
