They ‘can save their apologies’: JK Rowling blasts 'Harry Potter' stars for trans stance

Author JK Rowling has revealed she will “never forgive” Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson after they publicly advocated for transgender rights.

Ms Rowling last week responded to a tweet that suggested Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson were safe from the author's wrathed.

“Not safe, I’m afraid,” Rowling tweeted.

“Celebs who cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women's hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatised detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single sex spaces.”

‘To Di For Daily' podcast host Kinsey Schofield joined Sky News host Rita Panahi to discuss the latest on JK Rowling.

Thing is, if it wasn't for J. K. Rowling, nobody would know who Daniel Ratcliffe and Emma Twatson are. They owe her everything they have, she doesn't owe them a damn thing.

I remember at age 14 “borrowing” my brother’s Levi jeans, putting my long hair under a baseball cap, and pretending to be a boy (in the early 1960’s). I longed to be a boy, because of the freedom boys seemed to have. By age 16, you couldn’t have given me a million dollars to change into a boy. I was all girl, and loved it - still do! What if during this vulnerable time, a wise-ass school counselor would have observed and worked behind my parent’s back to secretly transition me and it was irreversible? Holy cow! Thank the heavens for women like JK Rowling who have the power and strength to stand up to the bullying of a vocal few! She is my hero!

Good for her. Their apologies would be meaningless.

[stevewiles]

She made them, they dumped on her for popularity, so bugger 'em.

It's kinda ironic that the actors who were brave enough to have her back played the villains in the movies.

[Daniel-fbrm]

The actors against Rowling are absolutely spineless

[itypedmynamehere]

JK fought for women’s rights, Emma was born with them, and Daniel will never understand. People don’t value what they don’t have to earn. Simple.

The kids were mildly entertaining when they pretended to be baby-wizards... then they opened their mouths in the real world and I couldn't stop paying attention to them fast enough. As adults in real life they are entirely uninteresting and annoying.

Jo was on welfare with a little girl when she wrote the first book, which she wrote mainly in a pub, rocking her child in the stroller because she had no room to write in her government housing flat. HP was turned down countless times for publication until it was finally accepted. Jo went through horrible depression, which is where she got the idea for Dementors. JKR lived a tough life and it made her into a smart lady with no time to suffer little fools like Emma and Danny.

If celebrities don’t have a spine, they would say anything just to not get canceled.

[mysterycheez]

The actors who played the baddies in the movies are the ones on the right side in real life! 😆

[davideastman]

Daniel who? Emma who? Names that nobody will remember. But Harry Potter and Hermione Granger will be remembered forever no matter who plays the part. Just don’t let Disney near the franchise.

[KarenLiu-wvrl]

Well, JK wrote Hermione Granger. Emma was just playing a role.

What’s sad is that literally every single person is uncomfortable in their body as a kid. Then you grow up & learn to love yourself. It’s sick to see this taken advantage of.

Ratcliffe and whatson would be absolute nobodies if not for Rowling

[helleosborne]

Bravo Evanna Lynch and Jason Isaacs (Luna and Lucius!) for standing with J.K !!! 👏👏👏

[deepdivin]

They didn't have to agree with her, they just needed to have common courtesy and consideration for someone they owe their existence as actors to.

[hyacinthlynch]

People will always remember Ms. Rowling, her name is up there with Tolkien and Lewis. Radcliffe and Watson will fade into obscurity.

[spaceghost]

They are supporting a horrendous crime against the innocent.

The biggest tragedy of 'transitioning' is that it's irreversible.. and in most cases could be navigated by understanding that sexual confusion in the teen years is a normal part of growing up..
