Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has taken plenty of deserved flack for his anti-Muslim rhetoric, as well as other proposed policies, and the BBC has even gone as far as to recently compare the Donald to notorious "Harry Potter" villain, Lord Voldemort.

Well, "Potter" author JK Rowling got wind of the BBC's comparison, and she's a little horrified.

This isn't because Rowling thinks the BBC has gone too far, but because she feels Voldemort isn't even on the same playing field as Trump.

How horrible. Voldemort was nowhere near as bad. https://t.co/hFO0XmOpPH — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) December 8, 2015

Way to be, JK.
