The Harry Potter star said he is saddened by Rowling’s stance on transgender rights.
LOS ANGELES – Daniel Radcliffe has said he is saddened by author J.K. Rowling’s stance on transgender rights, telling an interviewer he has not spoken to the Harry Potter creator in years.
“Because I do look at the person that I met, the times that we met, and the books that she wrote, and the world that she created, and all of that is to me so deeply empathic.” In 2020, Radcliffe – a long-time supporter of the Trevor Project, an LGBTQ youth suicide-prevention hotline – responded to some of Rowling’s comments on the matter with a statement saying, “Transgender women are women.”
British media tried to portray Radcliffe and his Potter co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint as “ungrateful brats”, he told the interviewer.
