Twitter is a breeding ground for trolls, and when your name is J.K. Rowling, your mentions probably get bombarded with them daily. But Rowling, ever the sophisticated writer, had a clapback for the ages when one fan tweeted her about Dumbledore's sexuality, saying he or she just couldn't "see him in that way." ("In that way" meaning gay.)
