One of the reasons why many believe we’re getting this HBO Max series for Harry Potter is because of the original Golden Trio’s stance on trans rights. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint have all shown their support for the trans community. JK Rowling has actively harmed said community.
Watson was on the podcast On Purpose With Jay Shetty when she shared compassion for Rowling. And she did so with a lot of the internet upset with her for her. “I really don’t believe that by having had that experience and holding the love and support and views that I have, mean that I can’t and don’t treasure Jo and the person that I had personal experiences with,” Watson said. “I will never believe that one negates the other and that my experience of that person, I don’t get to keep and cherish.”
