J.K. Rowling is back in the spotlight, and it’s not for another magical adventure. The famed author reportedly dropped a hefty £70,000 donation to For Women Scotland, stirring up more than just Polyjuice Potion. This cash injection fuels the group’s legal tussle over what exactly defines a “woman” in the eyes of the law.
But while Rowling’s wallet might be heavy, so too is the weight of criticism she’s facing, especially from some familiar faces in the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts universe, including Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe. Despite pushback, Rowling’s doubling down on her stance, even as she’s accused of muddying the waters of inclusivity.
