She’s ignorant of how ignorant she is: Rowling on Emma Watson
Millennium Post Delhi
|New Delhi 01October2025
Harry Potter” author JK Rowling penned a lengthy note on X to address her rift with Emma Watson on Monday, saying the actor cannot go on criticising her publicly and then hope for reconciliation.
-
Watson played the role of Hermione in the film adaptations of the “Harry Potter” books alongside Daniel Radcliffe who payed Harry and Rupert Grint who played Ron.
The rift between the two began in 2020 when the author shared her views on the trans community which many deemed to be extremely transphobic. Following this, Watson and her “Harry Potter” costars publicly opposed Rowling in a public statement.
Watson and Rowling's rift came up in the headlines again this month after the actor addressed the controversy in recent episode of the “On Purpose With Jay Shetty” podcast and said she still loves and treasures the author.
Now Rowling has responded with her own statement and called her “ignorant”.
