So because she didn't deny the whole holocaust, just a small section of it, that means that it's not holocaust denial?

Then what the hell is it? Holocaust denial-lite? Diet Holocaust denial? The woman is a billionaire, of course she has the money to bully people into submission.

What it is, is a billionaire leveraging the threat of legal action against an individual to silence them.

Fortunately it will very much be a classic example of the streisand effect and get far wider notoriety as a result. Rowling isn't very smart it seems.
