Harry Potter star Tom Felton has defended JK Rowling and praised her contribution to literature.
The actor, 35, is best known for his role as Draco Malfoy in the wizarding world, spoke out and praised her as 'no one has single-handedly done more for bringing joy to so many different generations and walks of life'. This comes after Rowling attracted a fierce backlash in 2020 after criticising an article which referred to ‘people who menstruate’.
Taking issue with the phrasing, the author – who denies she is transphobic – wrote on Twitter: ‘”People who menstruate”. I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?’"
