LONDON -- As we've learned over the past week, throwing insults at J.K. Rowling on Twitter is a very bad idea.
But attempting to use references from her own books to win an argument? That's an even worse plan.
Following on from her repeated shut-downs of the people threatening to burn her books, someone else accused her of using "the mark of the beast in a children's novel".
It didn't end well for them.
