The star of the Harry Potter series has broken his silence on the author’s latest online rant

Daniel Radcliffe has finally broken his silence following the row between stars of the Harry Potter franchise and JK Rowling over the author’s controversial views on transgender rights.

The actor, 34, last addressed the writer’s problematic remarks regarding the community in 2020, when he apologised for the ‘pain’ her words had caused before also penning an essay for LGBTQ+ organization, The Trevor Project.

Radcliffe, alongside his co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, spoke out in support of trans people after Rowling shared a link to an article titled ‘Opinion: Creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate’ in June of that year.

He wrote in his essay for 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.”

But in April, three years after the original online spat, Rowling reignited the war of words after telling social media users that the Harry Potter stars should ‘save

But in April, three years after the original online spat, Rowling reignited the war of words after telling social media users that the Harry Potter stars should ‘save their apologies’.

The author, 58, told fans that she wasn’t interested in burying the hatchet and slammed celebrities who ‘cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women’s hard-won rights’

It came after Rowling shared her reaction to the release of an independent review of the NHS’ gender identity services for children and youngsters in the UK, which was conducted over four years by Dr. Hilary Cass.

But while detailing her anger at the varying responses to the review, she ended up discussing her now non-existent relationships with the stars of the Harry Potter series.

Radcliffe has now responded to Rowling’s recent rant for the first time in a new interview with The Atlantic.
