The controversial Westboro Baptist Church tried to take on J.K. Rowling on Tuesday over the issue of gay marriage. And they lost.

The battle began when the Harry Potter author posted a celebratory Tweet on Friday after Ireland became the first country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage.

"Sitting here watching the Irish make history," she wrote. "Extraordinary and wonderful."

When a fan wrote that they hoped that her fictional character Professor Dumbledore (who Rowling revealed was gay) and all witches and wizards would feel welcome in Ireland, she posted a pic of Keanu Reeves that was captioned, "What if Dumbledore and Gandalf were gay together."
