"Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling, nearly three years after publishing a series of tweets that was widely considered transphobic, is stating in a new podcast that she "never set out to upset anyone."
"What has interested me in recent years, particularly on social media," Rowling said in the trailer for the podcast, which debuts Feb. 21, "is when fans say, 'You've ruined your legacy. Oh, you could have been beloved forever, but you chose to say this.' And I think: 'You could not have misunderstood me more profoundly.'"
This isn't the first time Rowling has attempted to clarify sentiments she believes were misunderstood.
