The 'Harry Potter' author has this tennis pro's back!
An unexpected celebrity came to the defense of Serena Williams after someone on Twitter attempted to body shame the tennis pro.
While Williams was taking home her sixth Wimbledon win, author J.K. Rowling was gushing over the 33-year-old athlete. "#SerenaSlam! I love her," the Harry Potter writer tweeted on Saturday. "What an athlete, what a role model, what a woman!"

She also tweeted: "I'm #TeamSerena today, because you don't meet many super-talented people nicer than she is. Go @serenawilliams!"

Not standing for such body shaming, Rowling wrote back: "@diegtristan8 "she is built like a man". Yeah, my husband looks just like this in a dress. You're an idiot."

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) July 11, 2015Ouch! The 49-year-old author's 4.95 million Twitter followers must have agreed with her because as of Monday morning, her post about Williams had been retweeted 83,000 times.
Rowling isn't the only celebrity fighting back against body shamers. See how Kylie Jenner responded to her critics:
