Daniel Radcliffe breaks silence amid JK Rowling saying she’ll ‘never forgive’ him or Emma Watson

Daniel Radcliffe has spoken out about JK Rowling after she addressed the Harry Potter actors for their support of the transgender community

Daniel Radcliffe has given his thoughts on the row between JK Rowling and his fellow Harry Potter stars over the author’s controversial views on the transgender community.

JK Rowling shaped the childhood of millions of people worldwide with the creation of her Harry Potter books and subsequent films.

However, her comments regarding the trans community in 2020 lead to accusations of transphobia on social media when the author shared a link to an article including the phrase ‘people who menstruate’.

The pair – among other actors from the franchise – showed unwavering support for the trans community, with Radcliffe writing in an essay for the LGBTQ+ organization, The Trevor Project: “Transgender women are women.

“Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I.”

He also apologized for the ‘pain’ her comments had caused for the trans community.

While The Little Woman star told her trans followers that she and ‘so many other people around the world see you, respect you and love you for who you are’.

And earlier this month, in a post shared on X on April 10, Rowling spoke about the Cass Review, which examines gender services for young people in the UK, in particular the use of puberty blockers.
