Ditching Netflix forever? Rage below 👇 and tap for Rowling’s FULL savage message!

In a blistering social media broadside that’s set fantasy fandom ablaze, Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling has eviscerated Netflix’s The Witcher Season 4, declaring its “abysmal” ratings well-earned punishment for showrunners who “butcher” beloved books with modern agendas. “They deserve it,” Rowling allegedly posted on X, tying the series’ catastrophic viewership plunge to a broader Hollywood failure: filmmakers who “almost never learn to respect source materials.”

The outburst, leaked from Rowling’s private circles and amplified across fan forums, comes as Season 4 – starring Liam Hemsworth in the recast role of Geralt of Rivia – cratered to just 7.4 million views in its debut week, a staggering 52% drop from Season 3’s 15.2 million and the franchise’s all-time low. It couldn’t even top Netflix’s global charts, trailing rom-com Nobody Wants This Season 2 at 9.4 million views.

Rowling, no stranger to adaptation battles, reportedly drew parallels to her own experiences, lambasting “arrogant” writers who inject “woke mess” over lore fidelity. “Modern filmmakers chase trends, not truth,” she allegedly fumed, echoing gripes from author Andrzej Sapkowski and departed star Henry Cavill. Fans hailed it as vindication: “Queen Rowling speaks for us all!” one viral X thread exploded, amassing millions of reposts.

This isn’t Rowling’s first clash with Hollywood’s adaptation machine. The billionaire author famously retained ironclad control over the Harry Potter films, demanding British casts and script vetoes to preserve her vision. Yet, she’s watched newer projects – like HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter reboot, where she’s executive producer – navigate controversies over her gender views.

For The Witcher, the pain is fresh. Premiering October 30 amid Hemsworth’s debut, Season 4 earned a dismal 56-58% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and a fan rating in the teens – the series’ worst. Critics slammed “bloated” storytelling, “softer” Geralt, and deviations from Sapkowski’s novels: amplified diversity arcs, emotional monster hunts turned allegories. The Guardian called Hemsworth “as charismatic as a bollard in a wig.”

Rowling’s “they deserve it” reportedly nods to Cavill’s 2022 exit, fueled by clashes over “anti-woke” loyalty to the books. Sapkowski, long critical of Netflix’s tweaks, has distanced himself: “There’s the original, and then adaptations.” Showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich defended: “Everyone can have their version,” stepping back after Season 5.

Netflix’s $500 million gamble sours: Spin-offs like The Rats: A Witcher Tale flopped silently, no Top 10 spot. Samba TV reported 35% fewer U.S. households tuned in. Boycotts rage, petitions top 800,000 for Cavill’s return.

Yet, some metrics shine: No. 1 in 24 countries per FlixPatrol, rebounding Rotten Tomatoes to fresher scores. Collider praised Hemsworth’s “snappy warmth.” Inverse called it a “new lease on life.”

Rowling’s critique resonates deeper. She’s battled “ignorant” changes, defending creators’ rights amid her own controversies. In a 2023 statement, she separated art from artist, but insists fidelity matters. Cavill echoed: Altering works is “a crime against” authors.

Hollywood’s pattern: Rings of Power tanked on deviations; faithful hits like Dune soar. Rowling warns: “Chase trends, lose souls.”

As Season 5 films as finale, insiders whisper panic: Rewrites? Cavill begs? Netflix mum, but stock dips hint trouble.

Rowling’s missive? A rallying cry. “They deserve it” trends, fans chant “Respect the source!” In adaptation wars, the White Wolf may fall – but creators rise.
