Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has been using her crafty words to continuously bash Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

During the most recent presidential debate, Rowling live-tweeted the event, continuously bashing Trump on a number of subjects.

Then on Monday, Rowling destroyed a Twitter user who tried to tell her that she shouldn't care about the upcoming election because she is not from the United States.

Finally, on Friday, astrophysicist and professional shade-thrower Neil deGrasse Tyson asked his followers how both Clinton and Trump would react if an alien spaceship landed on earth. A perfect set up for Rowling.

Rowling used the opportunity to bash Trump in the wake of a recent sexual misconduct allegations, as well as a leaked tape that shows Trump making vulgar comments about the treatment of women.

"Afraid we need to know whether the alien has breasts before we can answer," Rowling said, quoting Tyson's original Tweet.

Rowling's joined the Twitter squabble, praising the author for her continued burns against Trump.

Bonus: Harry Potter recut as The Breakfast Club is an instant classic
