J.K. Rowling’s transphobic views on the transgender community have been well known for a long time, in fact it’s kind of hard to get her to stop talking about it. Her stance has seen the cast of the beloved Harry Potter movies distance themselves from her which has only resulted in bitterness brewing between them and Rowling.
Recently, Emma Watson herself made a public comment on her relationship with the now notorious author. In the past, the actress, known by most Potterheads as Hermione Granger, had made it clear that she stands with the trans community. However, her recent comments were a little more measured as she expressed her hopes that “people who don’t agree with my opinion will love me, and I hope I can keep loving people who I don’t necessarily share the same opinion with.”
