Things could have been so different for J.K. Rowling. The once beloved author seemed to be destined to become an international treasure, mentioned in the same breath as the greatest children’s authors of all time. Now she’s more famous for her cruelty, having devoted her life and wealth to aggressively stripping rights from trans people.
Many Harry Potter stars have expressed their disgust with her, explaining she’s no longer the woman they once respected. Most notably, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint all thoroughly rejected Rowling’s bigotry. Radcliffe by declaring that “trans women are women” in an essay for The Trevor Project, while Watson said trans people “deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned.”
