LONDON -- J.K. Rowling has turned social media shutdowns into a work of art.

Obviously she doesn't exclusively go after Donald Trump, but we'd estimate that roughly 75 percent of her Twitter burn output -- at least at the moment -- is directed at the president-elect.

From giant orange Twitter eggs to Voldemort comparisons, we've rounded them all up below.

1. The time she compared Trump to Voldemort.

2. Her re-working of his infamous quotes about women.

3. And her response to his defence.

4. The time she explained why Trump's actions are her business.

5. This space-themed shutdown.

6. The time she taught him how to make friends.

7. The time she compared him to a Twitter egg.

8. The time she picked up on his spelling.

9. The time she made her Trump-bashing stance clear.

10. Her response to the prospect of Trump striking back.

11. The time she didn't even need the full 140 characters.

12. The time she brought hand size into the mix.

13. This undeniably amusing comparison.

14. Finally, the time she translated his quote about "heroes".

Chances are there will be many, many more where those came from in 2017.
