J.K. Rowling Won’t Forgive Harry Potter Actors’ Criticism
11th April 2024
Nor ought she to.
All is not well in the Harry Potter universe. Author of the hit wizarding novels and prominent women’s rights campaigner J.K. Rowling has revealed that, even if they apologize, she will not go easy on the lead actors of the Potter films for their stance on the trans debate. Less, er, expecto forgiveness and more expelliarmus…
Rowling’s comments come in the wake of the published report by top pediatrician Dr. Hilary Cass, which found that “remarkably weak evidence’ and a ‘lack of high-quality research” had allowed young people in the UK to change their gender. In a series of tweets, the acclaimed writer blasted supporters of gender-altering treatment in children and said they should apologize to “traumatized detransitioners and vulnerable women.” The writer continued: “Today’s not a triumph, it’s the laying bare of a tragedy.”
One social media user wrote that Daniel Radcliffe, who in the films played Potter, and Emma Watson, who played his best friend Hermione Granger, owe Rowling “a very public apology, safe in the knowledge that you will forgive them.” Rowling simply replied: “Not safe, I’m afraid.” Ouch.
