J.K. Rowling appeared to take a thinly veiled swipe at Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint in a social media post shared to her 14.3million followers.
The 59-year-old author penned a biting response apparently hinting to the trio in response to the question: 'What actor/actress instantly ruins a movie for you?’
Without missing a beat, Rowling cryptically wrote: 'Three guesses. Sorry, but that was irresistible.'
Many of her followers widely interpreted her riposte as a nod to the three child stars who played the lead roles in the successful franchise.
