J.K. Rowling Slams Donald Trump, Compares Him to Voldemort

But for another reason: she says even Voldemort isn’t that bad. And whatever your political leanings, you have to admit that Trump’s severely anti-Latino and anti-Muslim rhetoric is downright risky, and comes just this close of Voldemort’s stance regarding muggles, half-bloods, and everything in between.

Satirical comedian Donald Trump has been compared, quite convincingly, to Harry Potter’s arch-nemesis Voldemort – and author JK Rowling is not too happy with the link.

We may not be voting for the Minister of Magic, but it’s pretty clear that Trump won’t be getting Rowling’s endorsement for the presidency.

Donald Trump’s comments, which he said were “common sense”, were made in light of last week’s shooting in California where a Muslim couple, believed to have been radicalised, opened fire and killed 14 people at a health centre in San Bernardino.

“@RealDonaldTrump, you don’t get it”, she added.

“Now, Trump and others want us to hate all Muslims. We are a weak nation when we allow racism and xenophobia to divide us”.

“Donald Trump is unhinged”, Republican presidential candidate and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush tweeted.

About 100,000 refugees are resettled worldwide each year, including to the United States, the largest recipient under the UNHCR’s program.

“The [Obama] administration has been standing by the program”.

Up to 40 USA governors had spoken out against the resettlement program, the UNHCR said.

Voldemort, of course, was the REALLY mean wizard who made life very hard for Harry, Hermione and company throughout six books and seven movies.
