Emma Watson had taken a hand in JK Rowling. The latter swept it, with sarcasm, of a tweet. During an appearance in the podcast Purpose with Jay ShettyHermione Granger’s unforgettable artist in the saga Harry Potter He said that her convictions prevented her from appreciating the memories that she maintains from the British writer, whose positions are openly transbobic.
“My most dear desire is that people who do not share my opinion love me and that I can continue loving those with whom I do not necessarily share the same opinion.”
The actress admitted that she regretted not having been able to talk with the author, in particular on the issue of transidentity. Before adding that she remained open to dialogue and would always be: “There are no people where I can erase JK Rowling in my life.”
A long answer in x
The controversial author of the saga hastened to answer it in X (previously Twitter). First he shared a video of the humorist Intel Lady laughing at Emma Watson’s interview.
The actress parodies there in an exaggerated way of the words of the actress, caricaturizing an alleged hypocrisy between the expressed affection and the support of those who violently criticize JK Rowling. “I’m here for all parodies!” He told the writer in a fun tone.
JK Rowling later expressed all his bitterness in a long text published in X. If the author acknowledges that Emma Watson and the casting have “the right to adhere to the ideology of the genre”, and that he does not want to “see them threatened by their convictions”, she reproaches the actress, as well as Daniel Radcliffe for thinking that “her old collaboration gives them a particular right.”
“Adult people cannot expect to approach an activist movement that regularly demands the murder of a friend, then claims the right to the love of this former friend, as if her mother was in fact.”
The writer criticizes the privileged situation of Emma Watson, who “has never known adulthood without the protection of wealth and fame.” “He was not a billionaire at fourteen,” he said. According to JK Rowling, the actress ignores the realities facing common women: shelters for mixed and homeless hospitals room Harry Potter To feed a transbobic argument.
Cold relationships since 2020
The conflict between JK Rowling and the actors of Harry Potter dates back to 2020. That year, after a series of transfers, and a test of 3,600 words for the same reason, by the author of the bestsellers, Emma Watson had shared a message of support for the transgender community.
“Trans people are what they say they are and deserve their lives without being constantly interrogated.”
In response, JK Rowling said he would not forgive Emma Watson or Daniel Radcliffe for having taken a position against his opinions. And he has a hard tooth.
In March 2025, when an X message asked Internet users what actor immediately wasted a film, the latter had responded, with irony: “Three assumptions. I’m sorry, but I couldn’t resist.” Many commentators then published photos of Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint.
If part of Harry Potter’s casting moved away from the saga designer, some have not adopted the same positioning. Therefore, Tom Felton, who played the role of Draco Malfoy, had admitted to being “grateful” towards the British writer despite his positions. As well as Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) who had asked “to be indulgence towards him.”
