J.K. Rowling: Voldemort ‘nowhere near as bad’ as Trump

Author J.K. Rowling said Tuesday that GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump is worse than the villain of her “Harry Potter” saga.

“How horrible,” she tweeted of Trump. “Voldemort was nowhere near as bad.”

{mosads}Rowling also posted a BBC article comparing the outspoken billionaire with her series’ iconic dark wizard.

Voldemort is the antagonist of the “Harry Potter” books that the writer began publishing in 1997.

The villain — also known as “He Who Must Not Be Named” — was portrayed by actor Ralph Fiennes in the film adaptation of the novels.

Rowling was responding to Trump’s proposal late Monday that the U.S. issue a blanket ban of Muslims entering the U.S.

Trump urged the federal government to implement a “total and complete shutdown” of the Islamic faithful until lawmakers can handle potential radicalization.

“Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life,” he said in a formal campaign statement.

The proposal is drawing widespread condemnation from critics from both sides of the aisle.

“This is reprehensive, prejudiced and divisive,” Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton tweeted Monday night.

“@RealDonaldTrump, you don’t get it,” she added. “This makes us less safe.”

“This is not who we are as a party or a country,” Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) reportedly said in Washington, D.C., Tuesday morning.

Trump’s suggested ban of Muslims follows a mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., last week that killed 14 people and wounded 21 others.

The FBI is investigating the suspected shooters — Syed Farook, 28, and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, 27 — for links with radical Islamism.

Critics of Trump’s plan say it is both impractical and unconstitutional. Supporters counter it is a necessary evil given the threat of jihadist extremism.
