Fans shut down JK Rowling's commentary on Hermione, after becoming frustrated with the author's controversial political and social views.

DC Comics character Harvey Dent had once proclaimed, "you either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain". Although this line did not come from the Harry Potter novels, it seems to have lived out with utmost literalness for JK Rowling. Given her years of controversial political comments and her alleged transphobic views, Rowling has now become an object of fan displeasure.

This disappointment among netizens surfaced when JK Rowling reflected on Hermione Granger's romantic involvement with Ron Weasley. Arguing that Hermione should have ended up with Harry Potter rather than Ron, Rowling's comment was overshadowed by wider dissatisfaction with her controversial political and social views. Her growing rant, which has deepened the rift between the author and her fans, prompted netizens to dismiss Rowling's comment altogether.

In recent years, JK Rowling, the acclaimed author behind the beloved Harry Potter series, has been at the center of many controversies, which have significantly affected her relationship with fans. Once hailed as a literary genius, Rowling's reputation has now simmered down to the status of a chatterbox. But despite people's growing dissatisfaction with her, Rowling has continued her commentary on political and social issues.
