Harry Potter creator JK Rowling is on the receiving end of a vitriolic attack through twitter over her support for the Labour party as well as for being against Scotland breaking off from the United Kingdom. Following Friday's results of the British parliamentary election, Rowling who moved to Scotland in 1993 became a target for online abuse. In 2014, just before the Scottish referendum, Rowling faced massive criticism for donating £1million to the campaign for a No vote in the Scottish independence referendum.
