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

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’.

Her comments were firmly criticized by Radcliffe and Emma Watson.
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.

A social media user then questioned whether Rowling was waiting for a public apology from some members of the Harry Potter cast – namely Radcliffe and Watson.

But the author made it clear that she wasn’t looking to bury the hatchet.

“Not safe, I’m afraid,” she wrote. “Celebs who cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women’s hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatised detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single sex spaces.”
