Daniel Radcliffe Says He's 'Really Sad' About J.K. Rowling's Anti-Trans Crusade
HuffPost
The "Harry Potter" star admitted as much after Rowling remarked that he and his former co-star Emma Watson "can save their apologies."
Daniel Radcliffe is “really sad” about “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling and her vocal anti-transgender views.
“It makes me really sad, ultimately,” Radcliffe told The Atlantic in an interview published Tuesday, “because I do look at the person that I met, the times that we met, and the books that she wrote, and the world she created, and all of that is to me so deeply empathetic.”
“‘Harry Potter’ would not have happened without her, so nothing in my life would have probably happened the way it is without that person,” he added. “But that doesn’t mean that you owe the things you truly believe to someone else for your entire life.”
Rowling continued her yearslong anti-trans rights campaign by sharing a list on social media last month of transgender individuals in order to mock a new hate-crime bill in the U.K. that gave them extra protections.
After police said her posts were not criminal under the new Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act, Rowling wrote on social media earlier last month that Radcliffe and his former co-star Emma Watson, who has also vocally supported the trans community, “can save their apologies.”
