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.

- PRESS ASSOCIATION REPORTER

Watson and her costars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint have publicly backed transgender rights in the past 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 on Thursday, 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.”

In a lengthy post on X, Rowling said yesterday: “Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she’s ignorant of how ignorant she is.”
