JK Rowling criticises star Watson in transgender rift
Bristol Post
|September 30, 2025
HARRY Potter author JK Rowling has accused actress Emma Watson of being "ignorant of how ignorant she is" amid their ongoing row over transgender views.
-
Watson and her costars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint have publicly backed transgender rights in the last few years, distancing themselves from Rowling who has criticised the actors in response.
Rowling, 60, has previously been accused of transphobia for her views on gender identity, which she denies.
The author made her latest comments in response to Watson, 35, discussing their relationship on Jay Shetty's mental health podcast, in which she said: "I think it's my deepest wish that I hope people who don't agree with my opinion will love me, and I hope I can keep loving people who I don't necessarily share the same opinion with."
