JK Rowling has told fans she 'never set out to upset anyone' after making controversial comments on transgender issues in the past.
It comes as the 57-year-old Harry Potter took part in a new podcast series, The Witch Trials of JK Rowling, which is set for release later this month, the PA news agency reports.
Rowling has previously been criticised for her staunch views on gender identity, which she has shared on social media. She has previously tweeted that she has received 'so many death threats I could paper the house with them.'
