Rowling has been more active on Twitter over the past week while she voices her support of Scotland staying a part of the United Kingdom.
In between remarks using the hashtag #BetterTogether about Scotland, there’ve been quite a few great tweets. For example…
When Ms. Rowling…

Put a homophobe in their place
The user, who has since deleted his tweet and account, told Rowling, “Once u revealed Dumbledore was homosexual I stopped being a fan. Nice how u blindsided us with that one. Enjoy your billion $.”
Her response…
@halfelven55ff I advise you to start following Brian Souter at once. He's much more your kind of person.
— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) September 6, 2014
Brian Souter funded a campaign to “not intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality.”
And later said that wizards and witches don’t care if a person’s gay
@_Paaulaisadora Only by ludicrous Muggles. The wizards don't give a damn – it's all about the magic for them.

Admitted who was hardest to kill
@EvanSomers Dumbledore. He put up a hell of a fight.
