To avoid a repeat of this discussion, this isn't a libel thing, it's an online harassment thing (https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F32239?lang=en) and a complaint, not a lawsuit. So contrary to popular belief, there isn't any burden of proof on anyone here because it doesn't matter what the truth is for this type of thing.

So the relief that can be granted is just blocking access to/or removing Rowling's tweets from the French internet?

I don't think they can do that. The punishment would be a fine on Rowling but I don't know if they have jurisdiction. I expect nothing to come of this.
