J.K. Rowling – author of the best-selling “Harry Potter” book series – rebuked actors Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson over their support of transgenderism.
The British writer issued her rebuke of the two celebrities who starred in the movie adaptations of her book series, during a social media exchange with an online user. The said user expressed hope that she will forgive the two if they apologize for their criticism of the author’s remarks on transgenderism. Radcliffe played the eponymous protagonist in the eight-film series based on the seven books, while Watson played his close associate Hermione Granger.
“Just waiting for [them] to give you a very public apology, safe in the knowledge that you will forgive them,” the user said. But Rowling, who was criticized by the left cult for pointing out the absurdity of transgenderism, gave no quarter.
“Not safe, I’m afraid,” responded the 58-year-old author. “[Celebrities] who cozied up to a movement intent on eroding women’s hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer up on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatized de-transitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single-sex spaces.”
Radcliffe affirmed his support for transgenders and his disapproval of Rowling’s stance in 2020. “It’s clear that we need to do more to support transgender and nonbinary people, not invalidate their identities,” he said in a letter written in June of that year to the nonprofit Trevor Project.
Watson also chimed in on the issue, posting on X (formerly Twitter) in June 2020: “Trans people are who they say they are. [They] deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren’t who they say they are.” Since the end of the Harry Potter film series in 2011, she has been a staunch advocate for both LGBT and women’s rights.
Radcliffe and Watson weren’t the only ones who turned on Rowling after she criticized the transgender movement. Even Rupert Grint (who played Ron Weasley) and Eddie Redmayne (who played Newt Scamander in the spin-off “Fantastic Beasts”) backed the movement of men pretending as women.
Rowling has been open about her views on the transgender community, even stating that she would “happily” go to jail for her beliefs. She even dared law enforcement in Scotland where she lives to arrest her for “misgendering” people. (Related: U.K. government supports J.K.

Her challenge followed a new law in Scotland that bans hate speech based on age, disability, race, religion, sexual orientation and transgender identity taking effect. “Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal,” Rowling wrote on X.
Fortunately, the author wasn’t alone in pushing back against leftists who want her canceled for simply expressing the truth about biological sex. Ralph Fiennes, who played the antagonist Lord Voldemort in the “Harry Potter” films, threw his support behind Rowling.
“The verbal abuse directed at her is disgusting; it’s appalling,” he told the New York Times (NYT) in an October 2022 interview. “I can understand a viewpoint that might be angry at what she says about women. But it’s not some obscene, uber-right-wing fascist. It’s just a woman saying ‘I’m a woman and I feel I’m a woman and I want to be able to say that I’m a woman.'”
Fiennes also took a swipe at cancel culture during his NYT interview. “Righteous anger is righteous, but often it becomes kind of dumb because it can’t work its way through the gray areas,” he told the outlet. “It has no nuance.”
