Serena Williams did it again: The champion tennis star won her sixth straight Wimbledon championship on Saturday, marking her fourth Grand Slam in a row.

J.K. Rowling was among the many celebs who congratulated Williams, posting a photo of the two together, and revealing that she is #TeamSerena.
It wasn't long before some troll responded to her tweet, though—insisting that the main reason for Williams' success "is that she is built like a man." (Whatever that means.)
Rowling, known for putting fools in their place, wasn't having it.

The Williams sisters have had to face ignorant criticism about their bodies and personal style since they first came on the scene. Even the New York Times is facing criticism for a story this weekend that compared Serena's physique to that of other female tennis pros.
Can Rowling cast an Evanesco spell on this unenlightened trend?
