The 'Harry Potter' author's production company, Brontë Film and TV, isn't doing so hot at the moment.

This just in:

Our words and actions have consequences.


On very rare occasions spewing vitriol and hate can get you elected as President for a term, but usually publicly parading your bigotry results in the universe unloading a deserved "Accio karma."

J.K. Rowling just learned that the hard way.

The Harry Potter author—who has unapologetically and incessantly tweeted her intolerance of the trans community—just took a massive financial hit.

Oops.

Rowling's production company Brontë Film and TV just reported a 74% profit loss.

While productions for the company include the BBC drama Strike and a TV adaptation of Rowling's The Casual Vacancy, they are blaming the plummet on poor sales from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child due to theater closures during COVID lockdown.

Whatever you need to tell yourself.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was one of the first—and one of the fortunate—to return to Broadway after the lockdown was lifted. But there are several boycotts in place against anything that might profit Rowling over her well-documented history of racism and transphobia.

After learning of the astounding profit loss, many took to Twitter to share their appreciation of the karmic occurrence.

Sadly, Rowling continues to spew her vitriol on Twitter while whining about being a victim, but—as already proven—it will come at a cost.

The Met Offers Brilliant Response After Timothée Chalamet's Dismissive Comments About Opera And Ballet

Matthew McConaughey and Timothée Chalamet had a conversation with Variety about shortening audience attention spans and the value of the arts, and it's earning them some bombastic side-eye.

McConaughey pointed out his concern about how stories are being told now, specifically that movies now seem to either fast-forward through the first act to get to the second, or they skip over act one altogether to get to the meat of the action, eliminating the world-building, character-building, and empathetic connections audiences create with these characters.

Pete Hegseth Blasted For Incendiary Threat To Iranians During '60 Minutes' Interview

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized after he offered a bleak warning to Iranians during a 60 Minutes interview while answering a question about a report that Russia provided Iran with intelligence that could potentially be used to target U.S. troops.

President Donald Trump has said that the U.S. military was "knocking the crap out of Iran" but the "big wave" of attacks is still yet to come, and has not ruled out putting boots on the ground, saying the war is progressing "way ahead of schedule." Trump has urged Iranians to revolt, even as the regime reshuffles leadership following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and some of his associates.
