Daniel Radcliffe has once again spoken out against J.K. Rowling’s transphobic comments in a recent chat with The Atlantic, continuing to spotlight their falling out. Radcliffe, famous for bringing Harry Potter to life on screen, shared his heartache over Rowling’s views, contrasting them with the empathetic world she created in her books. He reaffirmed his stance that “transgender women are women,” a declaration he made back in June 2020 when Rowling first tweeted controversial remarks.
The actor, a vocal supporter of The Trevor Project — an LGBTQ+ advocacy group — emphasized his commitment to supporting those hurt by Rowling’s statements. He also criticized her ongoing transphobic posts on social media, including a recent one where she seemed to expect apologies from Harry Potter cast members who have disagreed with her. Radcliffe stressed that he’ll keep standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, making it clear that Rowling’s opinions do not represent everyone linked to the Harry Potter universe.
