J.K. Rowling has insisted she won't fire Paapa Essiedu from 'Harry Potter' over his support for the trans community.
The 34-year-old actor - who is set to play Severus Snape in HBO's upcoming adaptation of Rowling's wizard book series - was recently one of over 400 actors who signed their name on a petition which called for the UK's entertainment industry to protection transgender people following the Supreme Court's ruling that a woman is defined by biological sex.
